Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) - Most notable for the amount of controversy surrounding it during its release: the film was condemned by critics such as Siskel and Ebert, and was protested by various parents and religious groups for its depiction of Santa Claus as a murderer (but it should be noted in that it differed from other slashers as this focussed on the killer in question, showing in some detail how he became a psychotic slasher). Followed by four sequels.
