LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Halloween will see Santa slaying as Dystopian Films' The Nights Before Christmas has just been announced at part of October's FrightFest line-up, with the legendary horror festival unveiling a stellar line up in it's 20th year. The festive slasher sees a psychotic Santa and Mrs Claus killing their way through a very special list in the run up to Christmas, with the FBI hot on their tail.
Producer Ken Bressers said "We've always loved it when movies subvert the genre a little... classics like Gremlins, or Die Hard set with the Christmas backdrop... well here's a real Christmas story to watch when the Hallmark type Christmas movies are making you feel too safe! Play at FrightFest is a great honour and we're thrilled to be part of the line up."
In the run up to Christmas, a murderous Santa and Mrs Claus rampage their way through a series of gruesome killings. FBI Special Agent Natalie Parker is tasked with tracking the pair of psychotic serial killers and discovering what links their victims.
