Kevin Smith Among Directors Contributing To Horror Anthology Called ‘Holidays’
The holidays and horror go together like peanut butter and jelly. They seem totally opposite, but end up fitting just right. A day like Halloween makes clear sense but several holidays have been given the horror treatment over the years. Now, all of them will come together in one massive movie.
XYZ Films and Distant Corners Entertainment are teaming up to makeHolidays, a horror anthology film that’ll feature segments based on holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Mother’s Day. Among the directors participating areKevin Smith(Clerks),Gary Shore(Dracula Untold),Scott Stewart(Legion, Priest),Matt Johnson(The Dirties),Dennis WidmyerandKevin Kolsch(Starry Eyes),Nicholas McCarthy(At The Devil’s Door),Sarah Smith(The Midnight Swim) andAnthony Scott Burnswith more on the way. Below, read more about theHolidayshorror anthology.
Deadlinebroke the news of theHolidayshorror anthology movie. They also got this quote from financier/producer John Hegeman:
Smithrevealed on his Twitterthat his segment inHolidaysis called “Hollow Ian.” However, it wasn’t 100% clear if this film was taking the place of his Krampus anthology. Most likely not though XYZ if looking to launch “four-six genre franchise properties annually.”
This poster, likely just something that’s aiding in the sales,was also revealedby Gary Shore.
If there are more directors to be announced, and already eight signed on, these aren’t going to be terribly long segments. But the idea of tying them into the holidays is a novel one with lots of possibilities.
What do you think of this line up? Do you think this will be fast and fun likeThe ABC’s of Death, or slower and scarier like theV/H/Sfilms?
