A press release from Gary Morgenstein and Maureen Granados of the Syfy Channel:
Ho ho ho! To usher in the holiday season, Syfy will present a snow globe with the power to destroy the world in the latest Saturday Original Movie, Snowmageddon.
Airing Saturday, December 10 at 9PM during the channel’s second annual Countdown to Christmas Week, Snowmageddon stars Michael Hogan (Battlestar Galactica), David Cubitt (Medium) and Magda Apanowicz (Caprica) in the story about a cursed snow globe which, when shaken, causes very bad things to happen.
Syfy’s Countdown to Christmas Week will also feature the two night original miniseries Neverland, airing December 4 and December 5, a trio of holiday episodes from Eureka (“Do You See What I See?”), Warehouse 13 (“The Greatest Gift”) and Haven (“Silent Night”) on December 6, and a holiday themed Ghost Hunters on December 7.
Then Chiller will cap off a successful year with the premiere of its first original movie, Steve Niles’ Remains on Friday, December 16 at 10PM.
Based on the highly acclaimed IDW Publishing graphic novel written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and illustrated by Kieron Dwyer, Remains is set in a chilling post-apocalyptic Reno, Nevada, and follows the survivors of a bizarre accident that reduced most of the world’s population to zombies. The group takes refuge in a vacant casino and fights a losing battle against the undead, who grow steadily stronger, smarter and more aggressive by the minute.
Remains stars Grant Bowler (True Blood, Ugly Betty), Evalena Marie (Are We There Yet?), Mike Hughes (Pet Sematary), Tawny Cypress (Rescue Me, Heroes) and Lance Reddick (Fringe, Lost, The Wire). Remains is written by John Doolan and directed by Colin Theys; Andrew Gernhard and Zach O’Brien serve as producers for Synthetic Cinema International.
