Trick ‘r Treat‘s writer/director Michael Dougherty tackles another holiday-themed horror film with Krampus, coming to theaters on December 4, 2015. Legendary Pictures has released a new trailer for the horror movie, showing off a little of the creepy creatures (designed by Weta Workshop and Weta Digital) as well as laying out the basics of the plot.
The cast is led by Adam Scott and Toni Collette and features David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Emjay Anthony, Stefania Lavie Owen and Krista Stadler. Dougherty co-wrote Krampus with Zach Shields and Todd Casey, and he produced the film with Zach Shields, Thomas Tull, and Todd Casey.
The Plot:
Legendary Pictures’ Krampus, a darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul, reveals an irreverently twisted side to the holiday. The horror-comedy tells the story of young Max (Emjay Anthony), who turns his back on Christmas as his dysfunctional family comes together and comically clashes over the holidays. When they accidentally unleash the wrath of Krampus — an ancient entity from European folklore — all hell breaks loose and beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own. Now, the fractured family is forced to unite if they hope to survive.
