It’s the season of joy, peace, and goodwill unless you live in Bailey Downs. Last Christmas Eve, two teens came to a grisly end in a school basement. Now, one year later, a new set of horrors has come to town. As three friends explore the site of the massacre, a malevolent spirit is determined to keep them there forever. One of the first cops to the scene of the bloody murders has new complications as his seven-year-old son exhibits terrifying and violent behavior. And when a local family seeks reconciliation with an estranged aunt for the wrong reasons, they suddenly find themselves running in terror from Krampus, the demonic anti-Santa Claus. Not even St. Nick is immune to the terror as he fights back against a horde of zombie elves. This is destined to be a holiday no one will ever forget…

Il Sonnambulo: Press Release: "Los Angeles, CA - Myth Factory Films has debuted the first trailer for their new web series, Il Sonnambulo, ahead of its October 31st launch. Written and directed by Douglas Rath (director of last year's horror-comedy hit Shock Value), the as-of-now three-part series follows a photographer made famous by crime scene photos relentlessly pursuing the shadowy killer who brought him his gory renown.

First teased on Eli Roth's Crypt TV HalloVine series, Il Sonnambulo stars Dean Christie (The Trial), Elizabeth Moynihan (TV's "Vikings"), and Ross Mullan ("Game of Thrones", "Doctor Who"). The first chapter, titled "The End of Everything", of the compelling dark drama will be released on Halloween, with subsequent volumes being unleashed in the following weeks.

Like a faded shock rocker clinging on to the vestiges of the world that moved on, Atticus Hurst - fêted photographer, infamous provocateur - has been living on the after-glow of fame. Locked into a dangerously symbiotic relationship with his muse, Il Sonnambulo, an almost mythological killer, Atticus is always tipped off by a mysterious, random caller (who never survives) at precisely 2:37 am the night of the killings. First on the scene he has found fortune - and infamy - photographing Il Sonnambulo's atrocities. Over three decades, he has traversed the globe documenting them all. The last seven years has been quiet for Il Sonnambulo - and Hurst - yet despite Atticus's fading notoriety, his ambition to hunt Il Sonnambulo has not.

Cutting through the din of empty, drug-binging anarchy, a call at 2.37 am ushers Atticus back to the world of very real horror-show crime scenes, this time cropping up in London, scarring the civilized world's collective consciousness. Reluctantly enlisting help from Roberto, an ambitious hacker turned journalist hoping to crack the darkly glittering façade of Atticus's celebrity, the two endeavor to track down Il Sonnambulo: a mission that confronts them with crimes of unprecedented savagery, and a haunting from Atticus's past that he could have never imagined.

As the two are drawn into the dark corners of London where the grotesque tableau is found, veritable Doré etchings of death, oblivion and futility await them. This nihilistic romp will either consecrate Hurst's legacy or burn them both to the ground."
