The First Trailer For ‘Krampus’ Is Here, And I Love It

Briefly: Following the first photos from just a few days back, the first trailer for Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat follow-up, Krampus has just hit the web.

It’s a pretty fantastic first look at the film, and it almost looks like a fairly generic holiday comedy when the video starts. Things take a turn for the worse pretty quickly, however, and just when it looks like Saint Nick may be coming to help out this family in need, Krampus is revealed instead.

I can’t wait to see more!

Take a look at the first trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think! Trick ‘r Treat is probably my favourite Halloween-themed film, and I would be absolutely thrilled if Legendary and Dougherty could do the very same thing for Christmas.

Krampus hits theatres on December 4th!

When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.
