It’s been many years since we’ve heard anything from Mark Pavia, the director of the cult-favorite NIGHT FLIER, the 1997 film adaptation of the Stephen King story starring Miguel Ferrer. But thanks to me being his very best Facebook friend, I found out that the man’s about to get back in the pilot seat for SICK NICK.

SICK NICK sounds like a return to the days of Holiday Horror, a gruesome little subgenre that contains flicks like the immortal SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, and CHRISTMAS EVIL (real piece of work, that one). Here goes the plot:


House-sitting for the President of the University over Christmas break, Cindy Hart and her college classmates gear up for a crazy night of holiday fun when a massive snowstorm traps them inside without power. Undeterred, they continue to party, unaware of the horror that is about to pay them a visit – a human monster dressed in a red and white suit hell-bent on delivering his terrifying gifts.

SICK NICK is in the pre-production stage at the moment, with Pavia writing the script as well as directing. More on this as it happens!
