It was his father, dressed as Santa, who was upstairs doing one of the female party guests. When his mother took him upstairs to bed, they walked in on the couple. Dad flipped out, knocked the mother down the stairs and she fell and broke her neck. So, the killer is basically trying to kill his father over and over to avenge the slaying of his mother. He even says at one point that he lost a parent in a terrible way, when he's posing as a newspaper reporter and asks the main girl how she's coping after her dad had been killed (he was the party favor Santa).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-89001545167459536022009-11-05T16:32:52.457-08:002009-11-05T16:32:52.457-08:00The Brattle is showing this?
