One of the many trends that formulated over the past year or so, is the second coming of the Christmas horror film. We have covered many as of late, but few show as much potential as A Christmas Horror Story. Directed by Steven Hoban (Darknet), Grant Harvey (She Made Me Do It) and Brett Sullivan (Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed), the film stars William Shatner (Star Trek) and George Buza (X-Men). A Christmas Horror Story premiered on July 20, 2015 at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival, and honestly, I’m not sure what to make of it. Maniac Krampus looks legit. Zombie elves… not so much.

RLJ Entertainment will release A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY in theaters, iTunes and on VOD on October 2nd. One thing is for certain; it looks like a jolly good time. Check out the official trailer and plot synopsis below.

Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, peace and goodwill. But for some folks in the small town of Bailey Downs, it turns into something much less festive. When Krampus – the anti-Santa who punishes the naughty children – is summoned by a young boy, everyone’s fight for survival begins.
