The Naughty List Teaser Trailer Revealed: "Back in 2009 writer/director Paul Campion was trying to turn author Brian Keene's novel Dark Hollow into a feature film, when Brian sent Paul a new collection of his short stories to read. Paul thought one of the stories The Siqquism Who Stole Christmas would make a great short film, and wrote the first draft of a short film script called The Naughty List based on that story.
The Naughty List is about two American mobsters, Tony Genova, and Vince Napoli, who are holed up in a remote wooden cabin on a snowy Christmas Eve, when there's a tinkle of sleigh bells, the sound of footsteps across the roof, and someone with boots and bright red pants starts climbing down inside the chimney. Soon Tony and Vince will discover if this really is Santa Claus, and what it really takes to get on the Naughty or Nice list.”
