If you’re dying for some quality holiday horror in this sea of prestige films, Universal and Legendary Pictures have got you hooked up, for they’ll be releasing Michael Dougherty’s KRAMPUS on December 4th. And if you can’t even wait that long to get your hands on Santa Claus’ nightmarish counterpart, Legendary Comics is gifting you with an early treat: a prequel comic book!
KRAMPUS: SHADOW OF ST. NICHOLAS is coming to town tomorrow, November 24th. It explands the mythology of the character with an anthology of three morality tales. Here’s the official synopsis:
At the most wonderful time of the year, a drunken mall Santa comes under siege from some very mischievous Christmas spirits, a dysfunctional cop becomes trapped with the man who ruined his life and the wealthy town “scrooge” must face the shadows from his past as his home comes under invasion from the homeless. This Christmas, Krampus will make sure they all get what they deserve.
Michael Dougherty is joined by Krampus co-screenwriters Zach Shields and Todd Casey and artists Fiona Staples (Saga), Christian Dibari (Hoax Hunters), Maan House (Witchblade), and Stuart Sayger (Bram Stoker’s Death Ship) to deliver a twisted gift for the holiday season.
