SCREAM FACTORY PRESENTS SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT IN A 2-DISC COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAY SET ARRIVING DECEMBER 5, 2017

LIMITED EDITION VERSION INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE BILLY/KILLER SANTA FIGURE FROM NECA




Los Angeles, CA - Community leaders tried to stop the release. The P.T.A. fought to ban it. Now one of the most controversial slasher films of all time, Silent Night, Deadly Night, is back in a new high-definition release! On December 5, 2017, Scream Factory will celebrate the horror holiday favorite with a 2-disc Collector's Edition Blu-ray, complete with a transfer restored from the original vaulted film negative and hours of bonus material.

Scream Factory will also offer a limited edition set that includes a poster, slipcover and the exclusive Billy/Killer Santa action figure from NECA, available for pre-order on shoutfactory.com. This 8-inch clothed Billy Chapman action figure is dressed in a fabric Santa suit with removable sculpted hat and features the authorized likeness of actor Robert Brian Wilson. The figure is fully poseable and comes with an ax accessory in window box packaging.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is the heartwarming story of little Billy Chapman who was traumatized by his parents' Christmas Eve murder, then brutalized by sadistic orphanage nuns. But when grown-up Billy is to dress as jolly St. Nick, he goes on a yuletide rampage to "punish the naughty!"Santa Claus is coming to town ... and this time he's got an axe! Robert Brian Wilson and Scream Queen Linnea Quigley star in this jaw-dropping horror classic that a nation of angry mothers still cannot stop!

I'd rather the action figure was Grandpa.

Final specs. Unfortunately the negative was cut and the unrated footage is in standard definition.

***SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT Update***

Halloween is almost upon us but we're also focused on Christmas and our upcoming release of the 1984 slay-a-thon cult classic of SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT. Today we present the final breakdown of our discs as well as giving an update regarding the unrated version. Title streets nationally on Dec 5th but if you order it from our site you'll receive it two weeks early.

*Regarding the Extended Version: For our new transfer, Sony Studios scanned the original camera negative at Technicolor in 4K. Unfortunately though we learned during our process that this original element was cut and did not contain the unrated footage we were hoping to find. Sony searched their vault for the footage (and we also looked aggressively into other alternatives to find it) but sadly it was not saved and remains missing.

The only solution for presenting the extended cut of the film was to incorporate the same unrated video footage that has been present on prior home entertainment DVD and Blu-ray releases. The transition of scenes between the theatrical and unrated versions will still be noticeable but we have tried to minimize the shifts in picture quality by restoring the unrated footage to try to match the color and clarity to our new transfer as best we could.

lol, if there is to only be one version in UHD then it should be the unrated version. Like I get that the extended footage is SD but not having the uncut version that people actually watch in UHD on your UHD release makes the whole release seem kinda pointless.
