Silent Night, Deadly Night Ranked (1984–2025) + 2025 Remake Review | Killer Santa Franchise

It’s finally holiday horror season… so we did the only sensible thing: watched all seven Silent Night, Deadly Night films and ranked them from worst to best, including the bonkers detours (psychic coma connections, witchy cult chaos, killer toys) and the entries that actually work as slashers.

We also hit the theater for the new 2025 Silent Night, Deadly Night, and—spoiler alert—it’s way better than we expected. We talk about what makes it click, why it feels like a “breath of fresh air,” and which franchise DNA it smartly remixes. The 2025 film is written/directed by Mike P. Nelson, premiered at Fantastic Fest, and was released theatrically Dec 12, 2025.
