Krampus is a 2015 Christmas comedy horror film based on the eponymous character from Austro-Bavarian folklore. Directed, co-written, and produced by Michael Dougherty, the film's ensemble cast is led by Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Emjay Anthony, Stefania LaVie Owen, and Krista Stadler. It tells the story of young boy who loses his festive spirit, following a dysfunctional family squabble, and inadvertently unleashes the wrath of Krampus, a demonic spirit who punishes naughty people during Christmas time.
The concept for Krampus began in 2011, when Dougherty was planning to make a Christmas-themed horror film, with him and Shields writing the screenplay. Production on the film began in 2014, with Dougherty directing and writing a new screenplay with Shields and Casey. The casting call began from November 2014 to March 2015. Principal photography on the film began on March 12 and wrapped in May 2015. Creature effects were made by Weta Workshop.
