Violent Night Hits Digital January 20, Blu-Ray January 24
Silent Night Deadly Night, the first “Santa kills people” movie, was released in 1984 to great controversy. If you can believe it, there were people with protest signs standing outside of theaters that showed the film. On his tiny TV in his woodsy cabin, Jim Hopper watched the controversy unfold, and forty years later he donned a red suit and decided to replicate it.
David Harbour stars as a Santa who decides to give the naughty more than just coal in Violent Night, the holiday hit from just a couple short months ago. It’s being rushed onto home formats within this month, probably in an effort to beat the 2022 holiday spirit from fading from our minds entirely.
A team of mercenaries has broken into the home of a wealthy family to hold them hostage on Christmas Eve. But they weren’t counting on one extra visitor: Saint Nick, who just slipped down the chimney to be greeted by weapons. You can’t threaten Santa, but you CAN make him mad. Mr. Claus goes ballistic and battles the invaders one by one to save Christmas.
Violent Night will contain the following bonus features on all formats:
- Deleted and Extended Scenes
- Family Arrives at the Mansion
- Jason and Linda in Bedroom
- Krampus Sees Trudy’s Radio
- Santa on the Roof
- Walk to the Manger
- Family Resolution

- Cast Call Back
- Extended Scenes
- Quarrelin’ Kringle – Cast and crew relay why David Harbour is the perfect brawler for this combative rendition of Santa.

So don’t throw out the tree yet — the holiday season isn’t over until Harbour says it is! You don’t want to get on his bad side. Violent Night comes out on digital January 24, and on Blu-Ray and DVD January 24.
