Here’s a lovely holiday treat we just received in the mail: a few motion-posters straight from the KRAMPUS himself! Okay, perhaps it was Legendary Pictures and director Michael Dougherty who masterminded the gift, but I personally think ‘ol Krampus himself had a hand in it, too.

The following text accompanied the Christmas cards: “Filmmaker Michael Dougherty provides horror fans a holiday present – an early glimpse into his dark Yuletide horror film ‘Krampus’, scheduled for release holiday season 2015. As Christmas trees burn and shadows fall, this set of three twisted “Krampus Cards” showcase the darker side of the holiday and provide a fun, shareable look at Michael’s subversive vision for the film.”
