‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’: Rohan Campbell & Mike P. Nelson On Bloody Holiday Romance, Nazi Christmas Parties, & Defending ‘Halloween Ends’ [The Discourse Podcast]
Holiday horror is usually all tinsel and trauma, but the new remake of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" decides it also wants to add a warm hug, a nervous breakdown, and a full-blown Nazi Christmas party for good measure. Director Mike P. Nelson takes the infamous killer Santa premise and rebuilds it as a supernatural slasher with a bruised, endearing Hallmark heart at the center, following a gentler, wounded version of Billy Chapman and the woman who accidentally falls in love with the monster in the red suit. It is romantic, nasty, and weird in exactly the right Christmas-y ways.
On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by star Rohan Campbell and director Mike P. Nelson to delve into reinventing a cult slasher, balancing sweetness with splatter, staging set pieces like a Nazi Christmas party and a nightmare ball pit, and exploring where a potential sequel could take Billy and Pam.
