Secret Santa is a new horror comedy from writer and director Mike McMurran, which has been selected to play at the Horror-on-Sea Film Festival on Sunday 28th January.

What can we expect from Secret Santa?

Organized by Fango contributor John Nicol and myself, Fangoria’S Black Sunday at Club 3030 was a splendid affair, packed with pundits poured into costumes of all kinds and featuring FX man Paul Jones, who brought his Red Pyramid suit from Silent Hill: Revelation and made up one of the bartenders as a Sh nurse. Paul and I even hosted a wild, barely controlled costume contest.
The substances flowed freely, the vintage pinball machines dinged and the music blasted until the wee hours. A good time was had by all, with Canadian Fango freaks and new converts sharing space and braving Sandy’s wrath (yes, up here we also took a smaller smack from the storm).
Thanks to Fango fotographer and contributor David Goodfellow, we even have the pics to prove that the party was legit. Have a look…
