We announced yesterday that Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends, The Monkey) will be playing iconic slasher Billy Chapman in the upcoming Silent Night, Deadly Night reboot from Bloody Disgusting, Cineverse, and director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85), and today we’ve got some more exclusive casting news to whet your appetite for the holiday horror.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report this afternoon that Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day) will be playing Pamela in Silent Night, Deadly Night, alongside Rohan Campbell’s Billy!
In addition to playing Lori Spengler in both Happy Death Day and its sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Ruby Modine also starred in 2019’s Satanic Panic and 2023’s Fear. Outside the horror genre, Modine’s credits include “Shameless,” American Desert, and The Survivalist.
From Cineverse, a next-generation entertainment studio, and Bloody Disgusting, its horror division, Silent Night, Deadly Night will be slashing into theaters this holiday season.
A reimagining of director Charles E. Sellier Jr.’s original 1984 slasher classic, Silent Night, Deadly Night centers on a young boy who witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fueled by a twisted sense of justice, he puts on the Santa suit and punishes the naughty.
“Blending psychological horror, brutal slasher thrills and a touch of the supernatural and, shockingly, a sprinkle of romance, the new film hopes to deliver a modern new take on the ultimate holiday nightmare.”
The reboot of the franchise is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85) and produced by the original 1984 Tri-Star film’s producers Scott Schneid and Dennis Whitehead and New Dimension’s Jamie R. Thompson (Old Henry, Gunslingers), Rebel 6’s Erik Bernard, and White Bear Films’ Jeremy Torrie, with executive producers Steven Schneider (Insidious), and Anthony Masi (Halloween: 25 Years of Terror, Unknown Dimension).
Brandon Hill & Brad Miska () will oversee for Cineverse and will executive produce alongside Erick Opeka and Yolanda Macias, Bondit Media Capital’s Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor. Distribution outside of North America is being handled by Sixth Dimension, the new genre label of StudioCanal.
