'Secret Santa' - 'Jason Goes to Hell' Director's Holiday Horror Coming to SCREAMBOX! [Trailer]

We have a trio of holiday horror films coming to SCREAMBOX but the very first to be unwrapped is Secret Santa, which hails from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday director Adam Marcus!

You won’t have to wait long to dig into this wild and crazy horror film as it arrives on VOD and SCREAMBOX on November 7.

In the film…

“As friends and family gather near, to celebrate another holiday season, they have no idea a murderer lies in their midst. With drinks flowing, a distant and dysfunctional, affluent family is unaware that their yuletide libations are laced with a truth serum that will bring holy hell down on their holiday gathering. When secrets begin to spill, the tension starts to rise until it escalates into a murderous rampage that Krampus would be proud of. But through the bobbles and bloodshed, one among them is desperate to stop the mayhem before it’s too late.”

From director Adam Marcus (Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday) comes the story of a holiday guest bearing anything but glad tidings. Co-written by Marcus and Debra Sullivan (Texas Chainsaw), Secret Santa is one of the most highly anticipated holiday horror films in years. Called “a nearly perfect holiday horror film,” by Horror Geek Life, the publication went on to say the film “blends laughter with blood, death and gore in a nearly perfect way, while managing to have a heart, and still feel like a holiday film.”

Secret Santa stars Michael Rady (“Timeless”), Debra Sullivan (“Big Love”) and comedian Drew Lynch. The film premiered at the Sitges Film Festival and was produced by Bryan S. Sexton with John Gilbert & Robert Kurtzman acting as executive producers.

Be sure to add this title to your Christmas list because it is the gift that keeps on giving. With chaos, blood and plenty of laughs, we can guarantee yule love it!

Pictured: Alden Ehrenreich in 'Cocaine Bear'

The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
