"Saint Nicholas isn't coming this year. Instead, a much darker, ancient spirit has arrived—Krampus."As the holiday season winds down, we're closing out Christmas with a modern horror classic that's about to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Join Henrique and David as they travel (metaphorically) to New Zealand to discuss Krampus (2015), the shadow of St. Nicholas who punishes instead of rewards. This fan-favorite Yuletide horror has become a staple of December movie marathons.
When young Max and his dysfunctional family have an explosive argument during Christmas, he unknowingly summons the demonic Krampus—a dark counterpart to Santa Claus who punishes non-believers. Now, Max and his family must survive the night against the terrifying spirit in Michael Dougherty’s Krampus!
Starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, and David Koechner, this episode dives into why Krampus has such rewatchable charm, from its thrilling practical effects by Weta Workshop to its perfect blend of horror and holiday spirit. Plus, hear Henrique and David discuss their first time seeing it on opening night, the debate over whether Lethal Weapon or Die Hard is the ultimate Christmas movie, and more holiday-themed recommendations, including the Silent Night, Deadly Night novelization and the wild ride that is Santastein.
