Barbara Crampton Stars in Vivienne Vaughn’s ‘Deathcember’ Segment “A Christmas Miracle”
Coming soon, the holiday horror anthology Deathcember will open 24 doors to Hell for “the ultimate advent horror anthology movie.” The anthology will feature 24 shorts by 24 directors from around the globe, each one taking a look at the dark side of the festive season.
We’ve learned today that director Vivienne Vaughn‘s segment “A Christmas Miracle” wrapped filming over the weekend, and it stars horror legend Barbara Crampton!
In “A Christmas Miracle,” a grieving mother (Clarke Wolfe) who suffered a stillbirth is spending Christmas alone, when she is visited by an apparition (Crampton) that promises to bring her child back to life – but at what cost?
“Proud to say that our crew was almost entirely women – the cast, all of the producers, camera and G&E departments all female,” Vaughn told us. “We also had SFX makeup by the legendary Bruce Spaulding Fuller and his wife, Gabriela Quinonez.”
Deathcember‘s line-up of directors includes big names as well as up-and-comers, from genre mainstays such as Lucky McKee (The Woman) and Trent Haaga (68 Kill) to festival favorites like Isaac Ezban (Parallel) and Lazar Bodroza (Ederlezi Rising) to exciting fresh talent, such as Sam Wineman (The Quiet Room) and Ama Lea.
Also attached as directors are names like Pollyanna McIntosh (Darlin’) and, as a special surprise, the living genre legend, Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust)!
Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
