Valentine’s Day Treat: ‘Holidays’ Image and Clip Bring the Love! (Exclusive)
Starry Eyes set the indie world afire, and now filmmakers Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer have teamed once again for a love-struck tale set on Valentine’s Day.
Bloody-Disgusting has the world exclusive premiere of a clip and image from Kolsch and Widmyer’s “Valentine’s Day” story, which is part of the upcoming horror anthology Holidays.
The image and accompanying clip show a young girl who is infatuated with her diving coach. What kind of horror will teen’s obsession bring?
“We wanted to tell a very dark tale of romance from the POV of a love-struck teenager,” the duo told Bloody Disgusting. “To us, that was a nice confluence of mixed emotions. We also don’t see a lot of movies with the setting of a High School dive team. So the world of the story felt unique to us.”
Added John Hegeman, Distant Corners President and producer on the film: “Holidays in general are always a balance of anticipation and dread. I love how the day can really freak people out and things can just spiral in to complete chaos. With ‘Valentine’s Day,’ Kevin and Dennis hit it out of the park. They’re crazy.”
Holidays is an anthology feature film that puts a uniquely dark and original spin on some of the most iconic and beloved Holidays of all time. A collaboration of some of Hollywood’s most distinct voices, the directors include Kevin Smith (Tusk, Yoga Hosers), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Dark Skies), Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer (Starry Eyes), Sarah Adina Smith (The Midnight Swim), Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact) Adam Egypt Mortimer (Some Kind of Hate) and Anthony Scott Burns (Darknet). Holidays is produced by John Hegeman’s Distant Corners Entertainment in conjunction with XYZ Films.
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
