Silent Night, Deadlier Night, an all-new sequel novel to the 1984 cult classic film, will be published on November 10 via Titan Books.
The 366-page book is written by Armando Muñoz, author of the Silent Night, Deadly Night novelization along with Black Christmas and My Bloody Valentine.
Here’s the full synopsis:
“On Christmas morning, Billy Chapman – the Santa Claus Killer – was killed before he could claim his final victim: Mother Superior, the cruel architect of the orphanage where Billy endured years of abuse. His younger brother Ricky survived the massacre, but not unscarred.
“20 years later, Ricky lives quietly in the nearby town of Bartlesville, hiding from his past. But on the anniversary of the killings, the past claws its way back. A blizzard descends on the region, cutting off power, roads, and escape. Sister Margaret, freshly released from a mental institution, reappears with a disturbing fixation on Ricky.
“And as Christmas Eve falls, a new Santa stalks the frozen streets… armed with a red sack and a gleaming fire axe identical to Billy’s. He knows Ricky’s name. He knows his sins. And he has a naughty list to settle.”
Silent Night, Deadly Night launched a film franchise that includes 1987’s Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2, 1989’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out, 1990’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation, and 1991’s Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker, along with two remakes: 2012’s Silent Night and 2025’s Silent Night, Deadly Night.
