Fright Rags Will Punish the Naughty With Upcoming ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ Board Game!
From the producers of the original slasher classic, Fright Rags has announced Silent Night, Deadly Night: The Game this week, a brand new upcoming board game based on the movie!
The chilling game will be coming down the chimney in 2022, and a Kickstarter campaign has been launched by Fright Rags to raise the funds necessary to make it all come to life.
Wonderwheel Entertainment has partnered with premier horror merchandise retailer Fright-Rags, Inc. to develop the board game based on Wonderwheel’s 1984 horror film.

The film’s original Executive Producers, Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead of Wonderwheel, have toyed with the idea of releasing a board game based on their movie that horror fans could play every Christmas, establishing a new and fun holiday tradition. With board game popularity on the rise, the guys figure that now is the perfect time to realize their vision.
“Over the last decade the market for SNDN merchandise has exploded, meaning fans are still celebrating the film all these years later,” says Schneid. “Adding a board game to the SNDN Merch-Verse is the perfect way for fans to experience the film in a new way.”
Schneid and Whitehead, along with Anthony Masi of MasiMedia, are producing the 2022 reboot of the iconic film, and Masi led the design of the game. “It’s easy to learn, quick to play, and different each time you play,” says Masi. “Also, the Kickstarter features the exclusive ‘Naughty & Nice’ version, which offers a really fun spin on how the game is played.”
Ben Scrivens, founder of Fright-Rags, says, “I was really excited when the SNDN team approached us about working together on the board game, as we had already been thinking of entering that space. Anthony’s concept was already solid, so we had fun discussing all the different design elements and ways to make it even more fun and unique.”
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
