Silent Night Deadly Night

Every year at the Hollywood Theater here in Portland, Oregon, Dan Halsted screens his awesome print of the classic Santa slasher flick, Silent Night Deadly Night. It’s a beautiful holiday tradition in which I can truly get behind.

This year Irina Beffa designed the poster and this is it and I love it like crazy. I am so sick of so many posters which emulate the grindhouse style of the ‘70’s. I love many of those movies and the cinematic vibe attached, but that time is over. It has gone and passed. If you’re going to do something, why do it exactly as it has been done before, thousands of times? That doesn’t make sense to me. Irina takes it to a wholly new place and that’s why I love what she does.
