A few years back at Christmas time, the fine folks at Cinema Overdrive in Raleigh had a screening of Silent Night, Deadly Night that included a semi-double feature of the sequel. Turns out at the time a majority of the print was missing. But they had the reel that featured the famous “Garbage Day” moment delivered by Ricky Caldwell. The bigger fun was seeing if star Eric Freeman would drop by the theater. He was rumored to live in Raleigh. But he never made it over. He didn’t show up when the complete film was discovered and run in 35mm. But that’s OK. Now you can have the next best thing since the Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 Blu-ray comes with an edition that features an 8 inch doll of Ricky. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory for the must have Christmas fun for 2018:
SCREAM FACTORY PRESENTS
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2
IN COLLECTOR’S EDITION BLU-RAY™
ARRIVING DECEMBER 11, 2018
WEBSITE-ONLY, LIMITED-EDITION VERSION INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE RICKY/KILLER SANTA FIGURE FROM NECA
Los Angeles, CA – The nightmare is about to begin…again. “Santa” is back in the sequel to the infamous 1984 cult classic and horror holiday favorite. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 comes to Blu-ray for the first time, lavishly presented in a Collector’s Edition set, on December 11, 2018 from Scream Factory. This release features a new 2K scan of an archival theatrical print, and is packed with bonus features, including new featurettes, interviews and commentaries with cast and crew.
Scream Factory will also offer a limited edition set that includes a poster, slipcover and the exclusive Ricky/Killer Santa action figure from NECA, available for pre-order on shoutfactory.com.

It’s Garbage Day! Ricky is being released from a mental hospital. He takes with him the terrifying memory of his brother Billy’s death and the memory of Mother Superior who brought about his brother’s demise. For Ricky, starting a new life means avenging his brother’s death, which sets him on a blind journey of relentless revenge, leading ultimately to Mother Superior. And when he gets to her, not even her faith will be enough to stop Ricky as he follows in the family tradition of Christmas carnage.
