UK Readers – Win Silent Night, Deadly Night DVDs!
UK Readers – win Silent Night, Deadly Night DVDs!
by Ben Bussey
Today sees the well overdue British release of the notorious 1984 slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night. The movie was never officially banned in the UK, but given both the shitstorm it whipped up in the US (pressure from angry parents leading to it being pulled from theatres) and the climate in the UK at that time (the passing of the notorious Video Recordings Act, blacklisting numerous ‘video nasties’), some bright spark clearly decided it wasn’t worth the trouble and never bothered to release it across the pond. Happily, Arrow Video are now letting the full uncut Santa slasher on the general public, and it’s been well worth the wait.
Even more happily, courtesy of Arrow Video and The Associates, Brutal As Hell have three copies of the DVD up for grabs. So if you’re based in the UK (regrettably, as this is a British Region 2 release we can only accept entries from UK readers) and you fancy a bit of slice ‘n’ dice action in your stocking this festive season, then this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss!
So, after giving long and hard consideration to what the best means of ascertaining the most deserving recipients – Marc talked me out of my initial idea of having readers send in photos of themselves in a Linnea Quigley pose – I’ve decided to keep it simple. Just tell us a good dirty joke involving Santa, and/or the holiday season. A reasonable example might be – ‘Why is Santa’s sack so full? Because he only comes once a year.’ But you can’t use that one, because I just told it to you. So get your thinking caps on and give us the filthiest yet most seasonal humour you can come up with. And don’t fret about offending anyone; we can take it. We’re Brutal As Hell.
Get your entries in to contests@brutalashell.com with your name and address, before midnight this coming Friday, 27th November. Once again, please note that this competition is only available to readers in the UK. And remember – we know if you’ve been naughty…
