Tonight at 9:30 p.m. The Plaza Theatre's monthly Splatter Cinema screening decks the halls with gouts of blood. (Fa la la la la, la la la la.) The moviehouse presents the notorious Yuletide-themed slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night from 1984, which features a crazed killer who dresses up like Santa Claus and uses such murder weapons as Christmas tree lights and reindeer antlers (as well as the less seasonal fire-axe). It's one of the most controversial and thoroughly condemned horror films of the 1980s, but it spite of that (or more likely, because of it), Silent Night, Deadly Night has a devoted cult following. Here's a quickie trailer:
