Know anyone who says, “I wish it were Christmas all year!” and they really mean it? Be afraid of them. Be very afraid. Celebrating the most wonderful time of the year all year would be mad. And that’s exactly why we’re so excited for Christmas at the Kringles. The holiday horror-comedy’s new trailer shows what happens when a joyful family takes Christmas deadly seriously.
This retro-style trailer truly feels like a gift, as Christmas at the Kringles clearly has no interest in holding back on either the laughs or the gore. But what exactly awaits the neighborhood when it learns the not-so-surprising truth about its mirthful neighbors.
Here’s the official synopsis from Briarcliff Entertainment:
The story follows the Seversons, a family starting fresh in a quiet suburban neighborhood, whose next-door neighbors, the Kringles, celebrate Christmas year-round. What begins as charming quickly turns unsettling, as Mark and Julie grow concerned about their son’s growing attachment to the family. After a heated confrontation, Mark heads next door to bring his family home only to uncover the Kringles’ true intentions: to hypnotize and indoctrinate them. What follows is a life-or-death rescue mission, as Mark teams up with a rogue, badass Santa in a high-stakes, action-packed fight to save his family.
We love this cast just as much as we love the premise. It stars Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Rob Riggle, Arden Myrin, Donald Faison, and Thomas Lennon. Christmas at the Kringles comes from director Kevin Lewis (Willy’s Wonderland) with a script from Zack Imbrogno (Slayers).
The Kringles will enjoy when their horror-comedy arrives in theaters. Christmas at the Kringles premieres on October 30, that way we can celebrate the most wonderful time of the year during the spookiest weekend of the season. Those “Christmas all the time” sickos are gonna love it!
