I remember this one showing up on late night t.v. around the holidays and it always played on Elvira's Movie Macabre. ( New Year's Evil was another one that Elvira would show ).
As an earlier reviewer said, this one did predate the Holiday themed slasher films of the late 70's - early 80's but it also had the killer-phoning-from-inside-the-house gig way before Black Christmas and When a Stranger Calls.
Filmed in 1970, Silent Night, Bloody Night is a very moody little film with great music and is actually bouyed by it's low budget.(The sepia tones of some of the scenes recalls 1927's Cat and the Canary). It really is an underrated little terror flick and it does deserve to be cared about and given a good remastering (If a good print even exists). Anchor Bay..Image..Are ya listening???
I still play my muddy old Paragon video version and plan to get the new DVD release of the film. Cannon released the film circa 1972/1973 under different titles such as Death House and Night of Vengeance (a title that was also slapped on a re-release of Last house on the Left) but I've always dug it's original title of Night of the Dark Full Moon.
