Writer and director Lewis Jackson’s 1980 holiday horror Christmas Evil (aka You Better Watch Out) is slated for the remake treatment. Don May Jr. of Synapse Films has told of plans to remake the killer santa movie. Producers David Foster and Ryan E. Heppe have optioned the rights to Jackson’s feature.
“Before the writers’ strike, several companies were interested in financing the project,” Jackson says, “and post-strike, a deal should be completed.” The original movie stars Brandon Maggart as a toy-company employee, obsessed with the Yuletide spirit, who dresses as St. Nick to slaughter those adults he deems “naughty.”
