Shudder has unveiled the trailer for Kier-La Janisse‘s (Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror) The Haunted Season: The Occupant of the Room.

Here’s the synopsis:

The Haunted Season is a series of chilling horror tales following the classic tradition of telling ghost stories for Christmas. The new film in the horror anthology series, The Occupant of the Room is based on the classic chiller of the same name by Algernon Blackwood 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.

The Occupant of the Room marks the second film in The Haunted Season anthology. A new episode will premiere each December on Shudder in the tradition of telling ghost stories for Christmas. The first film, To Fire You Come At Last (2024), is currently streaming on Shudder.

The film’s producers are Liane Cunje, Shannon Hanmer and Kier-La Janisse. The executive producers are David Gregory, Carl Daft and Rob Cotterill.
