Nine-year-old Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) wants a Red Ryder BB-gun for Christmas more than anything else, but he encounters all sorts of opposition to the idea, especially from his mother (Melinda Dillon).

Cast: Roberts Blossom, Cosette Lee, Leslie Carlson, Robert Warner, Marcia Diamond, Brian Sneagle, Arlene Gillen, Robert McHeady, Marian Waldman, Jack Mather
Based on a true story, this creepy tale is about an unstable, Wisconsin farmer who is made even more unstable by his domineering mother. When she dies, he misses her so much that he digs her up and preserves her. He then kills and stuffs other women to keep her company. Roberts Blossom does a good job as the psycho–making the viewer even more uneasy. "Psycho" and "The Texas Chairsaw Massacre" are also based on the story of Ed Gein, the psychotic killer.
