The Santa Claus from Hell in ‘Sick Nick’
Mark Pavia, the director of Night Flier, is back with more terror as he’ll be getting behind the camera for Sick Nick. Sounding like a modern Silent Night, Deadly Night, house-sitting for the President of the University over Christmas break, Cindy Hart and her college classmates gear up for a crazy night of holiday fun when a massive snowstorm traps them inside without power. Undeterred, they continue to party, unaware of the horror that is about to pay them a visit – a human monster dressed in a red and white suit hell-bent on delivering his terrifying gifts. Pavia penned the screenplay. He also wrote the adaptation of Stephen King’s “Night Flier” for the big screen.
