9. 7/10. An unfairly forgotten and picked on horror movie of the 80's. Here's a thought to the parents groups, don't let your kids watch these movies, not a hard thing to do. Billy's an underrated slasher as he's actually quite sympathetic. He loses his parents to a thug dressed like Santa Claus who his crazed grandfather has said would punish all naughty kids. Then he's abused by this evil woman passing herself as a nun for years until he snaps. It's a well done movie guaranteed to please slasher fans.

Suggested correction: The movie blatantly shows Billy lifting her high enough above his head to impale her. It's literally right there in the scene. Additionally Linnea Quigley talks about the making of the scene in the documentary "In Search of Darkness Part II," and talks about the actor living her high above his head over and over while making the scene.
Grandpa: You see Santa Claus tonight you better run boy, you better run for ya life.
Trivia: Scream Queen Linnea Quigley appears in the movie as a babysitter.

Suggested correction: How is someone being in the cast a piece of trivia? Unless it's something notable like one of an actor's earliest roles, or a final appearance, it's not really interesting enough to be considered trivia.
