SCREAMBOX – December Highlights Include ‘Adam Chaplin’, ‘Santastein’, ‘Devils’, ‘Phenomena’, & ‘Eaten Alive’
SCREAMBOX has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in December, including the goriest film you’ve never seen, Adam Chaplin, as well as the “Frankenstein”-inspired Santastein, body-swap thriller Devils, and classics Dario Argento’s Phenomena and Tobe Hooper’s Eaten Alive.
Fresh off its Beyond Fest premiere, the extended cut of Adam Chaplin is streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX now! Drawing comparison to The Crow, Fist of the North Star, and Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, the unrated Italian splatterfest is a must-see for gorehounds.
Santa Claus has also come to SCREAMBOX in Rare Exports, also now streaming. From Sisu director Jalmari Helander, the Finnish film joins SCREAMBOX’s Yuletide Fear collection alongside exclusives like Secret Santa and Night of the Missing and such classics as Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
Violent South Korean thriller Devils streams exclusively on SCREAMBOX on December 5. It’s Face/Off meets Freaky Friday when a homicide detective swaps bodies with a serial killer.
Dario Argento’s Phenomena hits SCREAMBOX on December 15. Also known as Creepers, the 1985 Giallo stars Jennifer Connelly and Halloween‘s Donald Pleasence. Other Argento classics on SCREAMBOX include Deep Red, Tenebrae, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and The Wax Mask.
From master of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), Eaten Alive takes a bite out of SCREAMBOX on December 15. The ’70s killer crocodile flick features The Addams Family‘s Carolyn Jones, a pre-Freddy-Krueger Robert Englund, and Halloween‘s Kyle Richards.
SCREAMBOX Exclusive Santastein comes alive on December 19. The festive twist on Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” delivers Christmas cheer and slasher fear in equal measure!
SCREAMBOX continues its partnership with Dark Sky Films with over a dozen new additions throughout the month, including post-apocalyptic vampire film Stake Land with horror icon Danielle Harris, The Woman sequel Darlin’ written and directed by “The Walking Dead’s” Pollyanna McIntosh, supernatural horror Wake Wood starring Aidan Gillen (“Game of Thrones”) and Timothy Spall (Harry Potter franchise), and many, many more.

It was announced two years ago that filmmaking team Radio Silence (Ready or Not, Scream, Scream VI, Abigail) were working on bringing Snake Plissken back to the screen for a brand new movie based on John Carpenter’s Escape from New York for 20th Century Studios, with John Carpenter himself on board as an executive producer of the upcoming movie.
The project had originally been described as a “reboot,” but filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett had described it as more of a “requel.” Unfortunately, the pair revealed to Comicbook.com that they’re no longer developing the requel and have parted ways with the project.
Gillett told the outlet, “We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and we just weren’t in a position to make the clock, ultimately. But who knows? I think, in hindsight, it feels crazy that we would think we would, post-Scream, step into a John Carpenter franchise. You never know. There’s still interest in it and we’ve had a few conversations about it but we’re not attached in any official capacity.”
Escape from New York was set in 1997. “When the U.S. president crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber is sent in to rescue him.”
In Escape from LA, also directed by John Carpenter, “Snake Plissken is once again called in by the United States government to recover a potential doomsday device from Los Angeles, now an autonomous island where undesirables are deported.”
Radio Silence is fresh off of helming gory vampire movie Abigail. It’s the third vampire movie from the Universal Monsters brand in the past year, the film scaring up $34.7 million at the worldwide box office these past few weeks. That gives it a higher worldwide gross than both The Last Voyage of the Demeter ($21.7 million) and Renfield ($26.4 million), and it’s also the most critically successful of the three vampire movies. Abigail also just landed on Premium VOD, so you can watch at home now.
Stay tuned for additional details on the Escape from New York requel, and what’s next for Radio Silence.
