Krampus is a darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul. It shows a twisted side of the holiday you won’t want to miss.
Young Max (Emjay Anthony) is fed up with his family’s constant fighting. Disillusioned, he turns his back on Christmas. He doesn’t know that his lack of spirit has awakened Krampus – an ancient evil out to punish non-believers.
Soon, holiday icons turn monstrous. The family home becomes a battleground. To survive, they must fight for each other… or be lost to the darkness.
See Krampus on the big screen. Unwrap the terror – one scream at a time.
Director: Michael Dougherty
Writers: Todd Casey, Michael Dougherty, Zach Shields
Stars: Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner

One Christmas Eve a long time ago, a baby crawled into Santa’s bag of toys… Raised as an elf, Buddy (Will Ferrell) grows into an adult three times larger than the biggest elf–and realizes that he will never truly fit in at the North Pole. This holiday season, Buddy goes looking for his true place in the world–in New York City. Buddy finds his workaholic father (James Caan)–who’s on Santa’s “naughty” list, a new mother (Mary Steenburgen) and a 10-year-old brother who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or elves. Here, now, Buddy discovers his destiny–to save Christmas for New York and the world!​
