‘Friday the 13th Part 2’s Warrington Gillette Slashes Into Christmas with ‘Shiver: Slaying All Night’
Warrington Gillette, who played the unmasked Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 2, is returning to slasher territory in Shiver: Slaying All Night.
Set during the Christmas season at a remote ski resort, the film follows unsuspecting guests whose holiday escape turns into a fight for survival. Deep within the surrounding mountain woods lives a manic killer named Vincent, who stalks and brutally murders his victims one by one.
As the terror unfolds, disturbing truths come to light — revealing that a tragic vaccine mishap in Vincent’s youth may have played a role in creating the monster he has become.
The ensemble cast also includes John Fiore (“The Sopranos”), Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean), Robert LaSardo (Death Race), Vincente DiSanti (Never Hike Alone), and Brent Edgett.
Robert Resto writes and directs, with Jeff Descoteaux and Steven Rears producing.
The film promises to deliver “intense, old-school practical horror” with special effects by Necro FX’s Jade Figueira (Johnny & Clyde, The Fetus).
Shiver: Slaying All Night is currently in production on location in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
