This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by author, Joe Vallese, and hope that Santa will judge them to be good because they definitely don't want to get on his bad side as they dive head first into 1984's Santa slasher movie, Silent Night, Deadly Night. The movie that went too far. The movie that put the chill on 80's slasher movies for a couple of years. The movie that parent groups organized and protested against. Did it deserve such treatment? Not really but what's America good for if not full-blown moral panics in the face of imaginary monsters.
