On Candy Cane Lane, every house glitters with lights, inflatable Santas, and the promise of the "perfect" Christmas. But seven-year-old Ellie Harper sees what no one else will admit: the carollers at the end of the street aren't human. Their song is wrong. Their mouths don't breathe. And when a neighbor boy takes their hand, he vanishes-only to return as one of them. As the adults cling to denial and the children fall under the carollers' spell, Ellie discovers the horrifying truth: these faceless singers are corrupted Christmas spirits, feeding on competition, perfection, and stolen joy. They've come to harvest Candy Cane Lane-one child at a time. Armed with nothing but courage, a red mitten, and the kind of hope adults have forgotten, Ellie must resist the siren call of the eternal choir. To save her family, her neighbors, and Christmas itself, she will have to offer the one gift the carollers cannot corrupt-her own pure spirit. A chilling holiday horror, Silent Nightfall blends the magic of Christmas with the terror of folklore, reminding us that the truest gifts are born from sacrifice, not spectacle.
