Three close friends embark on a wilderness search to find their missing sister and friend. What they discover in the snow covered wild is something more terrifying and inhuman than they could have ever imagined.

The worst case scenario for good little boys and girls comes true…
“This project has been such a joy to build alongside our dear friend David and the remarkable team of filmmakers involved,” said the Boulets. “The anthology showcases four distinct visions of holiday horror, and creating our own short within it gave us the chance to finally reveal the kind of scripted genre storytelling that’s closest to our hearts—moody, vicious, and hauntingly beautiful. We’re thrilled for audiences to experience the entire collection, and especially the dark little nightmare we’ve contributed to it.”
“There is something inherently haunting and haunted about the holiday season. Dickens knew it,” added Dastmalchian. “And now I get to team up with my favorite fiends, The Boulet Brothers, and a host of talented creative creatures as we twist and terrorize the holiday season into something fun and fearsome. Move aside, It’s a Wonderful Life, there’s a new holiday tradition coming to town!”
Holiday of Horrors is a Boulet Brothers Production in association with Good Fiend Films, with the Boulets and Dastmalchian executive producing.
