Allstate spokesperson Dennis Haysbert (okay, I tease. He starred in “24”) has been cast as one of the leads in Legendary Digital and Crackle’s zombie movie “Dead Rising,” reports TheWrap.

Set during an epic zombie outbreak that a mandatory government vaccine failed to stop, “Dead Rising” debuted on the Xbox 360 console in 2006 and has since spawned a video game franchise that has sold more than 6.5 million copies worldwide.

Zach Lipovsky (Leprechaun: Origins) will direct “Dead Rising,” which is being executive produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura. The 90-minute feature is based on the Capcom property and will mark the first release from Legendary Digital Media.

Sony’s Crackle will give “Dead Rising” an exclusive digital release in the U.S. before the film receives a multi-platform release on SVOD, VOD, DVD and TV, while Content Media Corp. (“Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn”) will distribute both feature-length and episodic formats on international platforms.

Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) has joined the cast of He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, a Christmas slasher slated to be released this holiday season by The Horror Collective.

In the upcoming slasher, a young man’s Christmas homecoming turns into a nightmare as a killer in a Santa suit gruesomely picks off his estranged, wealthy family for their fortune.

Williams is joined by Nicholas Vince, known for his role in the original Hellraiser, as well as David Lenik (An English Haunting), Peyton Michelle Edwards (Goodbye Honey), and Lauren Marie-Taylor (Friday the 13th Part 2).

Director/Producer Charlie Steeds said in a statement, “I knew David Lenik’s campy Christmas-themed slasher would be a blast to direct. It’s set in the ’80s and we filmed on location in New York State. The script draws inspiration from horror classics such as Black Christmas, Scream and Silent Night, Deadly Night which are all films I adore.”

“Christmas horror films blend holiday cheer with thrilling chills, offering a fresh and exciting twist on traditional celebrations. They’re perfect for those looking to spice up their holiday viewing,” commented Shaked Berenson, CEO of The Horror Collective’s partner company, Entertainment Squad.

The Horror Collective is the genre label of Entertainment Squad, a finance and distribution company founded by veteran producer Shaked Berenson (Turbo Kid, Tales of Halloween). The labels’ latest productions include the killer-pants cult classic Slaxx (Shudder Original) and the critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ horror-comedy Summoning Sylvia.
