PROJECT DETAILS
  • Filmed in New Zealand.
  • Originally had a November 25th 2015 release.
  • Adam Scott will play "the father, a workaholic and rather absent dad who has to step up for his family."
  • Stefania Owen will play "Scott’s daughter."
  • Toni Collette will play "the mother, a woman who pretends everything is perfect with her family via her elaborate meals but will also have to dig deep to protect her family"
  • Allison Tolman (Fargo series) and Emjay Anthony (Chef) will play mother and son in a family that is under the demon's attack.
  • Michael Dougherty was quoted saying: "The dark ancient origins of our holidays have always fascinated me. I’ve been drawing twisted Christmas cards for well over a decade, so it only made sense to bring some of that morbid yuletide fun to the big screen, and Krampus was the perfect mythology to do that. Christmas has been invading Halloween for far too long. It’s time to return the favor."
  • It's said that this film will be in a similar style of Trick 'r Treat.
  • Co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat).
  • Described as a "twisted horror comedy set around the Christmas holiday".
  • The film is based on an ancient legend about a beast-like creature that punishes the wicked during the Christmas season. You can read more on the Krampus folklore here.
