LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Writer/director Mike P. Nelson and star Ruby Modine said Christmas and Halloween naturally go together in horror films like their Silent Night, Deadly Night, in theaters Friday. The film is a remake of the controversial 1984 killer Santa movie.
Rohan Campbell plays Billy Chapman, a man who saw a Santa suited killer murder his parents as a child and now dons a suit himself to kill people in December. Modine plays Pam, a clerk at Billy's day job who bonds with him over violent outbursts around the holidays.
In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Modine says she continues Halloween all the way through Christmas.
"My Christmases are still sprinkled with Halloween," Modine said. "All the way until January is Christmas and Halloween combined."
Nelson said Christmas brings back memories of winters in Minnesota. Christmas lights and meals with family brought warmth to the cold.
