I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the second night, I am posting the almost final entry of the SNDN series.
Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1992)
A crazed toymaker decides to make killer toys that turn on their owners. Is it me, or does this sound similar to Puppetmaster and Halloween III? Mickey Rooney appears as the old toy maker named Joe Petto (Pinocchio for those literature-challenged folks) who crafts evil little toys that are pretty creative. Meanwhile, a widowed mother fears her son may be the target of a mysterious man who is also interested in Petto's creep toys. Silent Night, Deadly Night 5 takes the story of Pinocchio and turns it into a twisted tale that makes this film the strangest of the series. Likely this was an independent film that was included in the series to add another entry to this dubious franchise. This film was the last official SNDN film until the 2012 remake Silent Night was released.
