‘The Elf’ is Off the Shelf in this New Trailer

Forget about Santa seeing you when you’re sleeping. This little dude is always watching.

Halloween may be the next holiday to fill our souls with fright, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas.

If you are a fan of haunted holiday horrors, you’ll be pleased to see that the cute-but-controversial Elf on the Shelf is getting a shot at killer doll stardom this winter.

Synopsis via Bloody Disgusting:

Nick is haunted by night terrors stemming from a tragic murder he saw when he was young. After inheriting an old toy shop, he discovers a cursed elf doll sealed inside an ancient chest with a naughty list of his family’s names written on it. He soon discovers that the elf was an evil conduit meant to unleash a supernatural killing spree during the Christmas Holidays by whoever set it free.

The Elf will be released by Uncork’d Entertainment on VOD November 7 .
