Did you see it, Lonnie?

I am more excited to see "Krampus"

I watched it and really liked it. It has Santa and Mrs. Clause, elves, and Krampus. Nest Festivus movie I watch will be Krampus.

Ever since Krampus was on the Venture Bros., it's been in the public mind and is getting more popular every year. I don't ever remember hearing about Krampus until the Venture Christmas special that he was featured in.

Being half German, I heard of him and Black Peter as a kid.

Even our "St Nicholas Day" bags (google it) had this menacing Santa with a broom in his hand that I was told, was used to punish the bad kids.

Believe it or not, I had a happy childhood and looked forward to Christmas.

I've heard of Black Peter, but didn't know that he and Krampus were the same.

I've heard of Black Peter, but didn't know that he and Krampus were the same.

I didn't think they were, Black Peter in my household at least, just gave coal on Saint Nick's eve if you were bad. I don't think I ever saw a drawing of Peter until I was an adult, he was described to me as a kid as a guy covered in soot.

Krampus was pretty downplayed, maybe heard about it once.

Okay, that makes more sense to me. So, not the same. I was kinda confused for a minute...

Holy crap, Brian, you just described our identical family situation. It was Black Peter, and then we later learned of Krampus in the 90s.

Cast and Crew of a Christmas Horror Story at Horror Rama in Toronto this past weekend (where it screened at the After Dark Film Festival). The folks behind this also did Ginger Snaps. Also pictured is the original headgear worn by Krampus, which was the only prosthetics used on the actor. The rest was the actor's mostly bare body running around outside in the snow during one Canada's harshest winters.

Shatner shot all his scenes in one day.

Krampus movie...

[Hedji]

Watched this last night. Decent mix of horror and Christmas, but I found less humor than I had hoped for.

And I cannot stand when they mispronounce Krampus. It's CROM-Pus. He's German. When they call him CRAM-pus, it sounds like a cyclical female problem. I also shuddered at the line "Krampus... the ENEMY of Christmas!!" This is just not accurate. They really misinterpreted the character. If Krampus is so Anti-Christmas, then explain these Victorian postcards:



Michael Dougherty's interpretation, while still Americanized, got it right. Still, a solid effort from Canada, and I appreciated the practical makeup.

Least favorite segment: School Nativity
