Hellraiser and Nightbreed star Nicholas Vince joins the cast of Advent, a Christmas horror movie currently in production.

The film is written and directed by Airell Anthony Hayles, whose movie They’re Outside impressed at this year’s FrightFest. It is the story of a girl who comes across a cursed advent calendar, and plays a game against the devil in the run up to Christmas.

The project comes from The Haunted Cinema, who recently wrapped filming on Frost Bite (once again written and directed by Hayles), in which Santa turns into a werewolf on Christmas Eve. Frost Bite features cult horror film critic and writer Joe Bob Briggs and genre favourite Emily Booth, and both films promise Christmas thrills and chills…

Advent is set for release in time for Christmas next year.
