SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984)

PREMISE In this most notorious of all Christmas-themed slasher movies, traumatized teen Billy (Robert Brian Wilson, above), who's always thought of Santa Claus as the punisher of bad children, dons a red suit and embarks on a slay ride, slaughtering both the naughty and the nice.

BAH, HUMBUG! MOMENT One victim is impaled on wall-mounted reindeer antlers.

MEMORABLE QUOTE Grandpa (Will Hare) instills a lifelong fear of St. Nick in young Billy, telling him: ''You see Santa Claus tonight, you better run boy, you better run for ya life!''
