That Film Stew Podcast

Directed by Michael Dougherty, Krampus is the Christmas comedy horror film based on the eponymous character from Austro-Bavarian folklore. Luke and Nathan kick off the festive season early as they go back to this 2015 Yuletide feature which was co-written by Dogherty alongside Todd Casey and Zach Shields. When dysfunctional family squabbling causes young Max (Emjay Anthony) to lose his festive spirit, it unleashes the wrath of a fearsome demon. As Krampus lays siege to the Engel home, mom (Toni Collette), pop (Adam Scott), sister (Stefania LaVie Owen) and brother must band together to save one another from a monstrous fate.
