...do I need to see Part 1 or is everything of value I'd take from the original in the "Sequel?"
And yes, I know 'Christmas Evil' is vastly, vastly superior to both and is top of the "killer dressed as Santa" movies list, but I'm just curious if ignoring the pre-"Garbage Day" entry into the series has me missing anything.

The first half of Part 2 is basically part 1... from what I Remember. |

Members of a Facebook horror movie group I'm in typically skip part 1 and go direct to part 2 on their franchise-binge. So you should be fine.

I’m a completist so I’d always recommend watching both at least once. However, literally anything of any value in Part 1 is in Part 2.

If you've seen Part 2 then you've basically seen part 1, Just with more memes, of course. |

I bought a Garbage Day ugly christmas sweater this year and it was the greatest purchase I've made.
To answer your question, I think the first one's still the best one. Part 2 is beloved because of the camp but it's not a particularly good movie.

The original is actually a pretty solid slasher movie and a lot of it gets left out of the "sequel". Definitely worth a watch divorced from the context of part 2.

How are parts 3-5? I do know 4 and 5 are unrelated to the whole killer santa plot.

That’s a fair enough point and another reason to watch 1 and 2. As I mentioned 2 features literally anything worth watching from 1. Yet, since it’s re-edited you lose some of the vibe of the original as a standalone movie. |

How are parts 3-5? I do know 4 and 5 are unrelated to the whole killer santa plot. Part 2 is infamous because the first half of the film is a recap of Silent Night, Deadly Night. You can go in blind and be okay. Basically all you need to know is Ricky is the original killer's brother. Also Linnea Quigley flashes her tits and is killed by a moosehead. Part 3 continues the story of Ricky with Bill Moseley taking over the roll... wearing a see through dome with his brain inside. Part 4 drops parts 1-3's story and it is about some cult. The only rememberable thing was they all wear dicknoses for some reason. Part 5 I haven't seen, but is about a toymaker and stars Mickey Rooney. Mickey having decried the original Silent Night, Deadly Night during it's controversy. |
