　　In a statement, co-producer Anthony Masi said, "We are thrilled to be working with the original producers as well as Orwo and Black Hangar and are committed to honoring nostalgia for the original while offering surprises for new audiences to discover and embrace."

　　While the original Silent Night Deadly Night wasn't the first Christmas-themed horror movie, it was by far the most controversial. The pre-release publicity focused on the movie's axe-wielding killer Santa, and a series of TV ads were broadcast during family-friendly prime time shows. The film was met with mass protests from parent groups across the US when it hit theaters in November 1984, and it was pulled from release shortly after by distributors TriStar Pictures.

　　Nevertheless, the movie became a success on VHS and is now considered a cult favorite amongst horror fans looking for scares during the Holidays. It was followed by the much-maligned 1987 sequel, which reused a lot of footage from the original as well as inspiring the "garbage day" meme. There were three more sequels in 1989, 1990, and 1991, plus a loose remake titled Silent Night in 2012.
