Christmas fear comes a little early to the streamer.
Shudder has announced that THE HAUNTED SEASON: THE OCCUPANT OF THE ROOM will debut on December 1. The second in the HAUNTED SEASON series (after TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST) of films homaging the tradition of ghost stories told at Christmas, it was written and directed by Kier-La Janisse (WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED), based on the story by Algernon Blackwood. Veteran character actor Don McKellar, Ben Petrie, Delphine Roussel and Jessica Huras star, with cinematography by Karim Hussain (WE ARE STILL HERE, POSSESSOR). According to the official synopsis, it’s about “a schoolteacher whose late-night arrival at a hotel in the Alps without a reservation leaves him with no option but to accept the room of a missing hotel guest–leading to a sleepless night full of strange and uncanny occurrences.”
