Plot hole: Billy's not tall enough to impale Linnea Quigley on deer antlers.
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Directed by: Charles E. Sellier Jr.
Starring: Gilmer McCormick, Lilyan Chauvin, Robert Brian Wilson, Toni Nero
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.
Character mistake: Andy speaks of Billy changing in the two months after he was hired when he was hired in the spring months ago.
Revealing mistake: The robber who kills Billy's mother is shown cutting her throat but with the flat side of the blade. Moreover real blood doesn't ooze out so thickly, indicating it was makeup.
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.
Andy: So, what the fuck are you doing now?
Billy Chapman: You know, you shouldn't talk like that.
Andy: Oh? Well pardon me, Ann Landers.
Billy Chapman: Mommy, you shouldn't have said that. It's naughty to say bad things about old people. Santa Claus will punish you.
Grandpa: You see Santa Claus tonight you better run boy, you better run for ya life.
