New Krampus Movie Featurette Hears Slay Bells Ringing

The family that stays together gets slayed together in a new Krampus movie featurette

Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures have just released a new featurette for Michael Dougherty’s Krampus movie featuring new footage from the horror comedy, which you can check out below!

The Krampus movie follows young Max (Emjay Anthony) who, after his dysfunctional familyclashes over the holidays, becomes disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.

Horror fans are likely already familiar with Doughterty’s flair for Holiday terror, as he made his feature film directing debut with the Halloween anthology Trick ‘r Treat. His Krampus movie boasts a cast that includes Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Stefania Lavie Owen and Krista Stadler.

For the film, Krampus and his mischievous underlings have been created by the combined efforts of Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, both renowned for their epic work on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies and King Kong, among many others.

Written and directed by Dougherty, the Krampus movie is co-written by Zach Shields and Todd Casey and produced by Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni, Alex Garcia and Dougherty. The film will be released by Universal Pictures on December 4.
