Featuring four original shorts directed and written respectively by The Boulet Brothers, Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), Akela Cooper (writer of M3gan, Malignant) and Kate Siegel (star of The Haunting of Hill House, Gerald’s Game), the special will bring horror, macabre and dread to the cheerful holiday season.
The Emmy-nominated Boulet Brothers shared, “This project has been such a joy to build alongside our dear friend David and the remarkable team of filmmakers involved. The anthology showcases four distinct visions of holiday horror, and creating our own short within it gave us the chance to finally reveal the kind of scripted genre storytelling that’s closest to our hearts—moody, vicious, and hauntingly beautiful. We’re thrilled for audiences to experience the entire collection, and especially the dark little nightmare we’ve contributed to it.”
David Dastmalchian added, “There is something inherently haunting and haunted about the holiday season. Dickens knew it. And now I get to team up with my favorite fiends, The Boulet Brothers, and a host of talented creative creatures as we twist and terrorize the holiday season into something fun and fearsome. Move aside, “It’s a Wonderful Life”, there’s a new holiday tradition coming to town!”
The anthology takes viewers on four very singular special adventures:
