10.30pm TONIGHT on THE SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on TVS Television Sydney Channel 44 streamed LIVE at tvs.org.au/programs/schlocky-horror-picture-show - SILENT NIGHT BLOODY NIGHT (1972) is a rather engaging body-count movie thats ahead of its time. The similarities to Black Christmas (1974) are definitely there, from the mysterious phone calls, the Christmas setting, point-of-view shots and general stalk-and-slash mayhem. Writer-director Ted Gershuny dips his lid to classics like Psycho (1960) and The Old Dark House (1932), while looking forward to the splatter films of the late seventies and eighties, which makes this something of a turning point in the genre, and even establishes some of the rules quoted in the recent Scream (1996) films. Till then, TOODLES!
