Teaser Trailer For SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT Reboot - A Killer Santa Returns This Holiday Season — GeekTyrant
The first teaser for the upcoming reboot of Silent Night, Deadly Night has arrived, giving horror fans a glimpse at the return of one of the most controversial concepts in slasher history: Santa Claus as a evil murderous killer. This reimagining of the notorious 1984 cult classic comes from writer-director Mike P. Nelson ( Wrong Turn , V/H/S/85 , The Domestic ). Unlike the loose 2012 remake Silent Night , this version promises a more faithful yet modernized approach to the original nightmare. The cast is led by Rohan Campbell ( The Hardy Boys ) as Billy, a young man forever scarred after witnessing his parents' brutal Christmas Eve murder by a man in a Santa suit. That trauma twists into a murderous tradition, with Billy donning the red suit each holiday season to deliver blood-soaked 'justice.' The film also stars Ruby Modine ( Satanic Panic ), Mark Acheson ( Peter Pan & Wendy ), David Lawrence Brown ( Orphan: First Kill ), and David Tomlinson ( The Hillsdale Adoption Scam ). The project comes from Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing, who will unleash the film with an unrated wide release on December 12, just in time to ruin your cozy holiday cheer. When Silent Night, Deadly Night first hit theaters in 1984, the idea of a homicidal Santa was too much for many. TriStar Pictures faced boycotts and outrage, cutting its theatrical run short despite the film briefly outperforming A Nightmare on Elm Street at the box office. Made for only $750,000, it earned $2.49 million and sparked four sequels, a loose remake, and decades of cult devotion. This new take aims to reignite that legacy for a modern audience, leaning into the original's dark Christmas horror while updating the brutality. Check out the teaser below. Silent Night, Deadly Night slashes into theaters December 12th.
