Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)
Because Mickey Rooney was one of several celebrities to lead the charge against the original Silent Night, Deadly Night from 1984, its a little strange that he would take a role in the series seven years later. Because it is a stand alone story, its speculated that it was produced with a separate title (The Toy Maker) and he was not informed of it being a SNDN film (I cant find much in the way of a source for this). Either way it still seems odd he would take the role, after campaigning so vigorously for censorship of the killer Santa in the original. - RevTerry

March 22, 1985 - Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning is released theatrically in the US.
The slasher film was written by David Cohen, Martin Kitrosser and Danny Steinmann with Steinmann also serving as director. It starred Melanie Kinnaman, John Shepherd, Shavar Ross and Richard Young.
Casting for the film was done under a fake title, Repetition, and several of the actors did not find out it was a Friday the 13th film until after they were cast in their roles.

Horror Movie Review: Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)
