Ep.235: Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker

Horrible Horror Podcast

Christmas may be over but we're giving you one last Christmas present. This week we're putting a wrap on the "Silent Night, Deadly Night" franchise by unwrapping "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker". After the horrible and inexcusable debacles that were "Silent Night Deadly Night 3 and 4" we could only imagine what an unspeakable sh!tfest we were walking into. This straight to video release features all the ingredients of the usual sh!t cakes that we're used to; poor script writing, bad acting, a loose plot, terrible name puns, a movie company desperately clinging to a dying franchise and pooping out another cash grab sequel, and a beloved aging actor that was just desperate for money. Yet something happened that we were not expecting, perhaps it was a Christmas miracle but somehow "Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker" turned out to be a wild, crazy and fun filled ride full of awesome death scenes and surprisingly good special effects. This fifth installment puts a fun and ridiculous bow on the lack luster and mishandled franchise that started off strong but went done the crapper faster then Santa Claus flying up a chimney.
