Watching Santastein as part of this year's Popcorn Frights Film Festival felt like unwrapping a Christmas gift extra early this past summer, so I'm especially excited that Manuel Camilion and Benjamin Edelman's new holiday horror film is coming to SCREAMBOX on December 19th as part of their streaming lineup this month!
Below, you can check out the previous Santastein trailer and details on SCREAMBOX's December streaming lineup (which also includes Rare Exports), and in case you missed it, feel free to read my Popcorn Frights review of Santastein, which brings Santa Claus back to life with a blood-splattered vengeance!
Santastein synopsis: Max was only six years old when he accidentally burned Santa to a crisp on Christmas Eve. 12 years later, Max attempts to raise Santa from the dead in order to fix his past mistakes and restore the Christmas spirit. But he soon realizes that the creature he has created is a bloodthirsty killer – and it’s headed straight for the town's Christmas party! Buckle in for some bloody holiday cheer that will leave you having a ho-ho-whole lot of fun!
Here is a look at the horror films coming to SCREAMBOX just in time for the holidays:
SCREAMBOX Press Release: SCREAMBOX has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in December, including Adam Chaplin, Santastein, Devils, Phenomena, and Eaten Alive.
Fresh off its Beyond Fest premiere, the extended cut of Adam Chaplin is streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX now. Drawing comparison to The Crow, Fist of the North Star, and Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, the unrated Italian splatterfest is a must-see for gorehounds.
Santa Claus has come to SCREAMBOX in Rare Exports. From Sisu director Jalmari Helander, the Finnish film joins SCREAMBOX's Yuletide Fear collection alongside exclusives like Secret Santa and Night of the Missing and such classics as Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
Violent South Korean thriller Devils streams exclusively on SCREAMBOX on December 5. It's Face/Off meets Freaky Friday when a homicide detective swaps bodies with a serial killer.
Dario Argento's Phenomena hits SCREAMBOX on December 15. Also known as Creepers, the 1985 giallo stars Jennifer Connelly and Halloween's Donald Pleasence. Other Argento classics on SCREAMBOX include Deep Red, Tenebrae, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and The Wax Mask.
From master of horror Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), Eaten Alive takes a bite out of SCREAMBOX on December 15. The '70s killer crocodile flick features The Addams Family's Carolyn Jones, a pre-Freddy-Krueger Robert Englund, and Halloween's Kyle Richards.
SCREAMBOX Exclusive Santastein comes alive on December 19. The festive twist on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein delivers Christmas cheer and slasher fear in equal measure.
SCREAMBOX continues its partnership with Dark Sky Films with over a dozen new additions throughout the month, including post-apocalyptic vampire film Stake Land with horror icon Danielle Harris, The Woman sequel Darlin' written and directed by The Walking Dead's Pollyanna McIntosh, and supernatural horror Wake Wood starring Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Timothy Spall (Harry Potter franchise).
Start screaming now with SCREAMBOX on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Prime Video, Roku, YouTube TV, Samsung, Comcast, Cox, and Screambox.com.
