Los Angeles, CA – April 18, 2024 – Caroline Williams (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”) joins the cast of “He Sees You When You’re Sleeping,” a Christmas slasher slated to be released this holiday season by The Horror Collective. A young man’s Christmas homecoming turns into a nightmare as a killer in a Santa suit gruesomely picks off his estranged, wealthy family for their fortune.
Directed by Charlie Steeds, who produced with Tom Malloy under his Trick Candle Productions banner. Malloy, who plays a role in the movie, has produced horror films such as “#Screamers,” “The Attic,” and “The Alphabet Killer.” Executive Produced by Shaked Berenson, who is known for instant cult films such as “Slaxx,” “Big Ass Spider!,” “Tales of Halloween,” and “Turbo Kid.”
Williams is joined by Nicholas Vince, mostly known for his role in “Hellraiser,” David Lenik (“An English Haunting”), Peyton Michelle Edwards (“Goodbye Honey”), and horror veteran Lauren Marie-Taylor (“Friday the 13th Part 2”).
Director/Producer Charlie Steeds said, “I knew David Lenik’s campy Christmas-themed slasher would be a blast to direct. It’s set in the ’80s, and we filmed on location in New York State. The script draws inspiration from horror classics such as “Black Christmas,” “Scream,” and “Silent Night,” which are all films I adore.
“Christmas horror films blend holiday cheer with thrilling chills, offering a fresh and exciting twist on traditional celebrations. They’re perfect for those looking to spice up their holiday viewing,” commented Shaked Berenson, CEO of The Horror Collective’s partner company, Entertainment Squad.
Producer and actor Tom Malloy commented, “I loved the title and the script, and I was excited to work with filmmaker Charlie Steeds, whose work I’ve known for years.”
