Auction History Result 9g276 SILENT NIGHT EVIL NIGHT 1sh '75 Black Christmas will ROCK you too, rare alternate style! Date Sold 8/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1975 Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Black Christmas (released in the U.S. in 1975 as "Silent Night - Evil Night"), the 1974 Bob Clark Canadian Christmas horror thriller ("If this picture doesn't make your skin crawl... It's on Too Tight!"; "Christmas is coming early this year. And it's murder."; "Black Christmas will rock you too!") starring Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, John Saxon ("as Lt. Fuller"), Marian Waldman, Lynne Griffin, Art Hindle, Doug McGrath, Nick Mancuso, and Julian Reid. Note that this film was planned to be released in the U.S. as Black Christmas (as it was in Canada), but studio execs thought that title might cause people to think it was a blaxploitation film, so it was changed to Silent Night Evil Night. However, during the continuous first release, the title was changed back to Black Christmas in some U.S. areas, sometimes as a double-bill with a blaxploitation movie (which was likely intentionally deceptive)! We have seen two one-sheet posters that have Black Christmas printed on them, as well as a herald and pressbooks, but otherwise all of the U.S. posters of all different sizes have the Silent Night Evil Night title (although many of them have Black Christmas snipes over the U.S. title).

Important Added Info: Note that until eleven years ago, I was under the impression that no posters were printed with the original "Black Christmas" title (the movie was originally titled "Silent Night, Evil Night", but after the posters were printed with that title, someone had the idea of releasing it under the cool title of "Black Christmas", and some of the "regular" one-sheets with the "Silent Night, Evil Night" title had a snipe added over them with the revised title). But in 2005, we were consigned a one-sheet that DID have the "Black Christmas" title printed on it (with an unusual different image, and the tagline "Black Christmas will ROCK you too!"), so I knew that there was that one poster, but until now, eleven years later, I had not seen a second example of that poster, and you can bid on it and buy it now (and it may well be eleven more years before we offer it again!). Condition: very good. There are a few tiny creases and scuffs on parts of the folds, and there are two incredibly tiny tears in the bottom border. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition!
