OFFICIAL TRAILER - RALPH'S PERFEKT CHRISTMAS @ralphschristmas. Theatrical Oct. 30. Digital (US/Canada) Nov. 3. Digital (International) Nov. 9. For Ralph, Christmas isn’t just a day – it’s a way of life. When his wife Heather can’t tolerate his quirks any longer and files for divorce, Ralph’s life is thrown into shambles. He finds a new sense of hope when he dreams he can win her back by creating the perfect Christmas. With no time to lose, desperate times call for desperate measures. Ralph concocts a crazy plan that involves kidnapping the former child star of his favorite Christmas movie. But when a series of accidents send his ill-conceived scheme spiraling wildly out of control, Ralph’s good intentions quickly take increasingly dark and unexpected turns. The fallout reveals two sides of one very desperate man determined to have his "Perfekt Christmas," no matter what - even if it lands him on the Naughty List. Tom McLaren stars as the quirky, yet lovable Ralph Bailey in this horror-tinged dark comedy that delivers a roller coaster ride of thrills, chills and emotion as one nice guy learns that good intentions really do pave the road to Hell. Jill Schoelen is his wife, Charlie Schlatter plays the former child star, and Casey Burke, Landon Gimenez, and Lynda Day George round out the Bailey family. Special guest appearances by a bevy of veteran film/TV stars: Susan Blakely, Marta Kristen, Nicholle Tom, Trevor Lissauer, Bill Mumy, Angela Cartwright, Anitra Ford, Judie Aronson, and a stellar supporting cast including Geordie Robinson, Aaron Coleman, and Banks Pierce. With nods to many classic holiday films add a layer of retro charm to Next Chapter Entertainment’s unique and twisted holiday movie for adults. Distributed by Cineverse (US / Canada) and Spirit Entertainment (International). #ralphsperfektchristmas #trailer #movietrailer #trailerdrop #nowplaying #nowshowing #comingsoon #nextchapterentertainment #newmovies #newmovie #newfilm #newfilms #movie #film #movies #films #tommclaren #horror #comedy #christmas #darkcomedy #horrormovies #comedymovies #christmasmovies

It's our anniversary! Flashback photo here w/my beloved Mary on our 10 yr vow renewal in Florida many years ago. I felt our wedding focused on family, and so I wanted this moment 10 yrs later for just the two of us. The classic 1982 song "You and I," which we discovered during our college years, will always be a special song for us. #anniversary #weddinganniversary #marriage #married #marriedlife #amazingwife #luckyhusband #cutecouple #tommclaren #marymclaren #nextchapterentertainment #ralphsperfektchristmas #producers #filmmakers #creatives #celebration #grateful #loveyou #lovestory #love #unconditionallove

Happy 60th anniversary of the premiere ep. of Star Trek! I discovered this show in reruns when I was a kid & absolutely loved it. In 2019 I was honored to chat with the one & only Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) in one of her final autograph show appearances. Charming, witty, friendly, kind, engaged. Such a wonderful woman. #startrek #livelongandprosper #NichelleNichols #uhura #generoddenberry #WilliamShatner #LeonardNimoy #grateful #actor #filmmaker #producer #tommclaren #filming #hollywood #showbiz #actorslife #nextchapterentertainment #ralphsperfektchristmas

Rest in peace to the legendary Dolly Parton. Today I’m visiting the stages on the Fox lot where she filmed 9 to 5. #dollyparton #9to5 #hollywood #behindthescenes #onset #foxlot #icon #legend #restinpeace

Flashback, these past 20 yrs have just flown by! Look at that carefree guy. But was I truly carefree? Here in this memory, I was just about to transition out of corporate business into the creative arts but it would take me 5 more yrs before I would summon the courage to step foot into my first acting class. imdb.com/name/nm4850533 #flashback #throwback #tshirts #grateful #actor #filmmaker #producer #tommclaren #onset #behindthescenes #tvpilot #teachers #teacher #professor #actingteacher #filming #hollywood #showbiz #actorslife #nextchapterentertainment #ralphsperfektchristmas

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia filmed on the Fox lot earlier this year. It's quite something to see Danny DeVito driving a golf cart as you walk to lunch! Check out Season 18 ep. 2 which shot on a dressed up New York St. for that big cannon launch finale. I'm checking it out here while the facade exteriors were still decorated. #studiolot #foxlot #backlot #itsalwayssunnyinphiladelphia #dannydevito #moviemagic #smokeandmirrors #ralphsperfektchristmas #nextchapterentertainment #tommclaren #marymclaren #newmovies #newmovie #comingsoon #movie #film #movies #films #featurefilm #onset #behindthescenes

I'm growing or the door is shrinking? Neither! I'm on the Fox lot and this wall has just been painted to look like a building. A background illusion for the magic of movies and television. #studiolot #foxlot #backlot #opticalillusion #moviemagic #smokeandmirrors #ralphsperfektchristmas #nextchapterentertainment #tommclaren #marymclaren #newmovies #newmovie #comingsoon #movie #film #movies #films #featurefilm #onset #behindthescenes

What's it really like to be an actor? The fastest actor wins??? Here's another one of hundreds of examples I have which reveal: it's not always what you expect it to be. imdb.com/name/nm4850533 #grateful #actor #filmmaker #producer #tommclaren #onset #behindthescenes #filming #hollywood #showbiz #truth #actorslife #nextchapterentertainment #ralphsperfektchristmas #casting #CastingDirector #Audition #selftape @ralphschristmas @nextchaptent

Happy birthday to the love of my life Mary McLaren @marymtweets ! The birthday girl actually gives me the best gift every morning just by waking up next to me and then spending another glorious, precious, valuable, joyous, cherished, and loving day with each other. Artistic shot here of my beautiful Mary was a modeling photo shoot she did for the Allen Edwards hair salon. #amazingwife #luckyhusband #birthdaycelebration #birthdaygirl #birthday #marymclaren #nextchapterentertainment #ralphsperfektchristmas
