The Naughty List: From Kickstarter: "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. Now 6 years later we're finally trying to get it made!!
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.
The Naughty List is a cautionary black comedy - it's Reservoir Dogs meets Elf - the perfect Christmas tale for those who prefer their seasonal stories a bit more Bad Santa than Home Alone, and together with your help we can afford to turn our script into a wickedly funny live action short film."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
