10 Amazing Death Scenes Wasted In Terrible Horror Movies
2. Garbage Day - Silent Night, Deadly Night 2
Silent Night Deadly Night was a series birthed in the craze of making holiday-themed slasher movies after John Carpenter proved that that formula can be a license to print money. While the first one is mostly forgotten save for the hardcore bad horror movie geeks, SNDN 2 is more widely remembered for lovers of wonderfully terrible horror.
And all because of one truly glorious line read.
The movie centers around a troubled teen who goes on a murderous rampage throughout the film. While the hokey acting makes for lots of hilarious scenes, the one that everyone remembers is when he spies a random guy taking out his trash in the morning. Then, with a wild look in his eyes, he yells out "Garbage Day!" in the most batsh*t insane way that a person could possibly say those two words. And then he shoots him. And we're just expected to move on after that.
The scene leading up to this was mostly normal, so being suddenly slapped in the face with one of the goofiest line reads in the history of cinema immediately followed by brutal gun violence, has cemented this scene in the horror nerd history books.
