Director Sophia Takal‘s new take on Bob Clark’s slasher classic Black Christmas is headed to theaters on December 13, and Blumhouse has whipped up a fun little social media video this week on the road to Halloween. The spot initially appears to be related to Blumhouse’s Halloween films, but it’s quickly revealed to be clever promotion for Black Christmas.
This year, there’s a new holiday to fear…

In the new film, Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. One by one, sorority girls on campus are being killed by an unknown stalker.
But the killer is about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t willing to become hapless victims as they mount a fight to the finish.
Green Room actress Imogen Poots, Cary Elwes (Saw, “Stranger Things” 3), Aleyse Shannon (Charmed), Brittany O’Grady (Star), Lily Donoghue (The Goldbergs, Jane the Virgin) and Caleb Eberhardt (Broadway’s Choir Boy) will star in Takal’s holiday horror remake.
Takal (star of our V/H/S and director of Always Shine and the recent “Into the Dark” episode “New Year, New You”) directed a script written with April Wolfe.
