‘Silent Night’ Santa Claus Wears A Mask, Rocks An Axe & Flame Thrower!!!
Not only did we score the first ever look and two official stills from Steven C. Miller’s now-filming Silent Night, their “loose remake” of Charles E. Sellier Jr.’s 1984 classic Silent Night, Deadly Night now filming in Winnipeg for release via Anchor Bay, but we’ve now scored a look at a teaser one-sheet that’ll light a fire under your ass! The
The below poster displays the slashing Santa, played by Rick Skene, with a flamethrower, an axe and what appears to be a “mask”. The idea that the Santa wears a Santa mask it actually pretty genius.
Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine, Mother’s Day), Malcolm McDowell (Halloween), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D), Jamie Kennedy (Scream), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim vs the World), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination) and Cortney Palm (Sushi Girl) also star in the film where a sadist Santa (played by Rick Skene) has come to punish the naughty of Cryer, and this Christmas Eve will be anything but a Silent Night…
The slashing begins on a snowy Christmas Eve in Cryer, WI. The normally quiet town is bustling with activity as the the residents are getting ready for the big day. The events take place around the towns annual Santa Parade, which has brought a record number of Santas to town. Deputy Sheriff Aubrey Bradimore (King) is stuck reluctantly working the night shift, dealing with all of the drunken Santas, road closures, and stressed out locals — but things are about to take a deadly turn. A vicious serial killer, dressed as Santa Claus, has made his own “naughty list” and anyone on it is in big trouble. As the body count rises, Aubrey races to discover the killer’s true identity – but in a town full of Santas, shady characters and dark secrets, finding the real murderer will take more then a Christmas miracle. McDowell plays Sheriff Cooper, a small-town hero ready for some big-time action.

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’
A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).
The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.
In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”
“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”
I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”
Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.
Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
