Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia's 2023 Naughty Christmas Special is presently available on Blu-ray, with 1972's Silent Night, Bloody Night (aka Night of the Dark Full Moon/Death House) as its prime feature!
Produced by Troma's Lloyd Kaufman and directed by Theodore Gershuny, who cowrote with Ira Teller and Jeffrey Konvitz (author of The Sentinel), Silent Night, Bloody Night is revered not only as a pioneering Christmas, horror picture, but one that sports a noteworthy cast, which includes John Carradine, Patrick O'Neal, Astrid Heeren, Walter Abel, Philip Bruns, Jay Garner, James Patterson and sexy, cult-film sensation, Mary Woronov.
Along the Yuletide way, the movie takes shameless stabs at Psycho (with an arguable, Empire Strikes Back catch), bumping off a couple of its leads during its early phases in an old mansion/former asylum where madness and carnage prevail, thanks to a shadowy fiend who flaunts the moniker, Marianne. Why does Marianne murder? Well, the answer lies in that age-old motivator ... back-story revenge!
To wrap the carnage in ample, sardonic joy, Mr. Lobo (equipped with a Grinchy Necronomicon) leads an all-star, Cinema Insomnia roster, featuring Miss Mittens, Countess Bloodsuger (Jessie Seeherman), Sally the Zombie Cheerleader (Nicole M. King), Yella Fever (Eric Sabo), filmmaker (and Silent Night, Bloody Night connoisseur) Michael Verrati and the laser-disc-loving puppet with a super-huge heart, Igor (Ben Stansbery), who sprinkle enough cynicism upon the proceedings to make any unreformed Scrooge sigh in sadistic respect.
No ifs, ands or buts about it, Cinema Insomnia's Naughty X-Mess Special: Silent Night, Bloody Night is a gruesome, "misunderstood" gift to open any time of the year.
