Toronto – July 9, 2015. It really is Christmas in July. It is with great pleasure that Steven Hoban president of Copperheart Entertainment announces that A Christmas Horror Story, an interconnected hair-raising tale of Yuletide terror, will have its world premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival, the genre festival Quentin Tarantino calls “the most important and prestigious genre film festival on this continent.”
The World Premiere will be on July 20 at 9:55 PM
J.A. De Seve Theatre / 1400 De Maisonneuve Ouest
A work-in-progress version of A Christmas Horror Story played at Harry Knowles’ Butt-Numb-A-Thon in Dec 2014.
”Badass! Loved it!” –Harry Knowles, Ain’t It Cool News
“A blackly comic tale of Christmas carnage…the ending is epic”- Jason Gober, Twitch Film Twitch.
CHRISTMAS: a time of Joy, Peace and Goodwill. Unless you happen to live in the town of Bailey Downs. Here, on Christmas Eve, joy is corrupted when a malevolent spirit traps three teens in a school basement intent on recreating a twisted version of the Nativity story. Peace is shattered when a family returns from a snowy forest with the perfect Christmas tree only to find something is terrifyingly wrong with their 7-year old son. And goodwill is perverted when a not-so-nice family is hunted down by Krampus, the demonic anti-Santa Claus of Nordic mythology. Even Santa Claus himself is drawn into the horror when he has to fight off a horde of howling Zombie Elves before making his rounds. This Christmas, the creatures are stirring and they’re coming for you whether you were naughty or nice.
