Cast

Production

Production began in December 2009 for twelve days with two additional pick up days in early 2010. Shooting was momentarily halted when the Los Angeles Police Department arrived by foot, car, and helicopter due to a concerned citizen mistaking actors with prop weapons for gang members battling in the streets. Lead zombie Timothy Muskatell was run over by a car while heading to set on his scooter resulting in a dislocated shoulder. This resulted in having director, Sean Cain having to substitute for him for two shooting days.

Release

The film had its premiere during the Gorezone Weekend of Horrors on November 1, 2009 where it played alongside another Cain produced film, Someone's Knocking at the Door. Since then Silent Night, Zombie Night has played in a number of festivals up until its release on DVD & Blu-Ray October 4, 2011. It has since gone on to be a holiday horror favorite popping up numerous lists in 2011 like HorrorNews.net's 'Top 20 Christmas Movies', 365 Horror Movie's 'Best Christmas Horror list' and Most Wanted Monster's '13 Christmas Horror Films to DIE for'.
