‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ Remake Streams on Screambox This Month

Published

on

Produced by Bloody Disgusting, the Silent Night, Deadly Night remake will stream on Screambox beginning April 28.

The film will be accompanied by a “Slaying Season” featurette and a blooper reel on the streamer.

The fresh take on the 1984 holiday horror cult classic is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85).

When Billy witnesses his parents’ grisly murder on Christmas Eve at the hands of Santa, it ignites a lifelong mission to spread holiday fear. Every Christmas, he dons the jolly red suit and delivers a blood-soaked massacre to feed his twisted sense of justice.

Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) and Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day) star with Mark Acheson (Elf), David Lawrence Brown (Orphan: First Kill), and David Tomlinson (“Fellow Travelers”).

Original Silent Night, Deadly Night executive producers Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead return to produce the reinvention of their Christmas slasher.

Screambox is the largest streaming service dedicated to horror. Bloody Disgusting readers get an exclusive introductory offer of three months for a total of $6.66.
