by

Hey there, horror enthusiasts! Buckle up and brace yourself for some chilling news: Rohan Campbell, who made waves in one of the most contentious Halloween films ever, “Halloween Ends,” as Corey Cunningham, the character who attempts camaraderie with Michael Myers, has been roped in to play the menacing figure in the remake of “Silent Night, Deadly Night.” So, gear up for a fresh take on this classic yuletide terror!

According to Bloody Disgusting, Campbell will portray Billy Chapman in the upcoming movie “Silent Night, Deadly Night.” This role was initially played by Robert Brian Wilson in the 1984 slasher film classic. The remake is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson, and it hails from the same team behind the “Terrifier” franchise. Brandon Hill and Brad Miska serve as executive producers for Cineverse, ensuring a faithful adaptation while also catering to contemporary viewers. The new version of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” is set to hit screens later this year, promising a blend of the original’s essence with something fresh and exciting for today’s audience.

Silent Night, Fatal Night” – This film revolves around a young lad who observes the slaying of his parents by a man disguised as Santa Claus. As an adult, burdened by his past horrors and driven by a perverse sense of righteousness, he dons the Santa suit to mete out punishment to those he deems naughty.

The upcoming movie combines elements of psychological terror, intense slasher action, a hint of the uncanny, and surprisingly, a dash of romance. It aims to offer a fresh, contemporary twist on the classic horror associated with holidays.

Apart from “Halloween Ends”, Campbell has also starred prominently in Osgood Perkins’ film titled “The Monkey“, and he has made appearances in various productions such as “Snowpiercer“, “Supernatural“, “iZombie“, and “The 100“. Notably, one of his notable roles outside the horror genre was in Hulu’s adaptation of “The Hardy Boys“, where he portrayed Frank Hardy, one half of the renowned detective duo who were initially introduced through the classic novels penned by Edward Stratemeyer.

Fans React to Rohan Campbell in ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’

News about Campbell taking over the remake of “Silent Night, Deadly Night” has spread quickly online, prompting a flurry of responses.

Instead, they are eagerly anticipating his success in this new project, as @HalloweenYrRnd expressed on X.
