As someone who adores holiday horror stories and firmly believes Michael Dougherty's Krampus is one of the best horror movies released in the 2010s, I'm thrilled (and, yes, chilled) that Scream Factory's 4K / Blu-ray release of Legendary Entertainment and Universal Pictures’ Krampus: The Naughty Cut (coming out on December 7th) is absolutely brimming with special features, including a bevy of new interviews, a fresh Dolby Atmos track, and additional scenes for fans to unwrap:
From the Press Release: This December, get ready for ho-ho-horror with Scream Factory’s release of Legendary Entertainment and Universal Pictures’ Krampus: The Naughty Cut on December 7th, 2021. Supervised by director Michael Dougherty, this two-disc set includes both 4k UHD and Blu-ray editions and marks the first time “The Naughty Cut” of the film has been available. This frighteningly festive film comes loaded with bonus features, including a new interview with director/co-writer Michael Dougherty; new interviews with actors David Koechner, Allison Tolman, and Emjay Anthony; a new interview with WETA’s Richard Taylor; a new interview with producer Todd Casey; and much, much more! Fans can pre-order their copies now by visiting ShoutFactory.com
Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation), Toni Collette (Hereditary), Allison Tolman (Fargo) and David Koechner (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy), this holiday fan favorite is a wonderfully dark and subversive holiday film.
When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know that 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.
