On November 30th, Anchor Bay Films presents Silent Night on screens in ten major U.S. metropolitan areas. That following tuesday, December 4th, the Blu-ray/DVD combo and DVD will be available to unwrap nationwide. Bonus features include “SILENT NIGHT: Behind The Scenes” featurette and Deleted Scenes.

It’s kind of a rare thing to be getting our first look at a film’s trailer less than a month before its release, but I kind of like the idea in theory. It gives people a chance to get jazzed without getting burned out I suppose.

The film, directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion, Under the Bed, The Aggression Scale), is a loose remake of the horror classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. The cast includes Malcolm McDowell (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, Easy A), Jaime King (Sin City, My Bloody Valentine 3D), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D, Blade), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination, X-Men First Class), and Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).

“McDowell and King star as a small-town sheriff and deputy on the hunt for a murderous Santa Claus terrorizing their community on Christmas Eve. But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He’s made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.”

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.

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. READ MORE

We gave the Hollywood Reporter an exclusive first look at Jonny Weston (John Dies at the End) and Gattlin Griffith (The New Daughter, Changeling, Green Lantern) in Under the Bed, a new horror film produced by both Tom and myself announced last week.

Now in post, THR has a few more details: Weston and Griffith “play brothers who team up to battle a creature in what is being described as a “suburban nightmare” tale,” adding that it’s “a love letter to early Steven Spielberg films.”

Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion) directs from a screenplay penned by Eric Stolze. As previously announced, Peter Holden (The Social Network), Musetta Vander (Sindel in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation) and Kelcie Stranahan round out the cast. Holden plays Terry, the brothers’ father, while Vander stars as the stepmother Angela. Stranahan plays Cara, Neal’s love interest.

I have some pretty exciting news to share with you dear readers that hopefully will get your blood pumping.

Outside of Bloody Disgusting, both Tom and myself produced a horror movie that we’re pretty damn proud of. Over the past few month’s we’ve been working insane hours on both the website and Under the Bed, our horror film inspired by classic Steven Spielberg films such as Poltergeist.

Jonny Weston (John Dies at the End) and Gattlin Griffith (The New Daughter, Changeling, Green Lantern) topline the latest indie from up and coming genre producing outfit Site B. The duo will play brothers, Neal and Pauly, respectively. The two will will deal with the universal fear of a monster under the bed…

Ever since we discovered his $30k zombie feature Automaton Transfusion back in ’05/’06, we’ve been huge fans of director Steven C. Miller, which is why we approached him to helm this love letter to the 1980′s. The script was penned by Eric Stolze from a story we co-developed together.

Peter Holden (The Social Network), Musetta Vander (Sindel in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation !) and Kelcie Stranahan round out the cast. Holden plays Terry, the brothers’ father, while Vander stars as the stepmother Angela. Stranahan plays Cara, Neal’s love interest.

The suburban nightmare reteams A Horrible Way to Die executive producer Zak Zeman with myself. Will Clevinger also produces. Cinematographer Joseph White is utilizing the latest anamorphic lenses to achieve the look of the film. White recently completed both Mother’s Day and 11-11-11 for director Darren Lynn Bousman. We used the same lenses that J.J. Abrams used in Star Trek and the forthcoming Super 8 (so it’s gonna look insane!) Practical effects were provided by Vincent J. Guastini, while LIT will be taking on VFX duties.
