Santa’s Coming! The Indiegogo Campaign For “XXX-Mas” Needs You Help

Santa is back Indiegogo style and ready to address his naughty list in the new independent film XXX-MAS. Writers James Dean (No, not that guy. Not that guy, either) and Louis Otero bring us the story of Santa’s life after he suffers a mental break. With his grasp on reality slowly disappearing, he targets adult film actors shooting a Christmas-themed porn flick and takes care of those naughty ones in an extreme murderous rampage.

Here’s the synopsis:
We follow Black Mamba, Kristy Kreme and Julie Treats among many other adult actors as they all prepare for a Christmas-themed porn shoot. Johnny D (the sleazy director) jots a feature-length porn and everyone gathers on Christmas Eve to start the shoot. Santa arrives in a bloody intro as the porn shoot is underway. Along with Santa’s little helper (his elf) they tear through the production’s cast and crew with extreme brutality

Monster Kid Productions is the company set to produce the film. The company’s goal is to bring to life high-quality original content while paying homage to its influences and become a leading boundary-pushing production company that offers unique stories that use practical effects and gore.

The film stars many real sex workers and even though the movie is a comedy/horror, the creators want to show them as real people. It also has plenty to say about the dehumanization of sex workers and their perceived negative image in the eyes of society.

Monster Kid Films needs your help.

The announced cast (so far) includes Drew Marvick (Pool Party Massacre), Dolly Leigh (as Julia Treats), Morrigan Thompson (Debbie does Demons), Jonathan May (Fountaine and the Vengeful Nun Who Wouldn’t Die), and Sleepaway Camp‘s very own Felissa Rose.

XXX-MAS delivers on the practical effects and is a tribute to slasher films of the 1980s — with a few surprises. Think Slumber Party Massacre with Dead Alive levels of blood. Mix this with boobs, lots of gratuitous gore and some holiday cheer sprinkled throughout, and XXX-MAS will make gorehounds giddy with glee.

Check out the NSFW video below from director James Dean.

There are also perks that go along with supporting the film. These include Blu-rays, signed posters, screen-worn costumes and even a part in the film. Please check the campaign page for all things XXX-MAS. Spread the word around as this campaign is nearing its last days and still needs to meet its goal.  Look for this film to see a release of December 2023 (if they reach the goal on the campaign) and for heaven’s sake, don’t be naughty!
