Krampus, Krampus
Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Godzilla: King of the Monsters) directed and co-wrote maybe the first Christmas movie to contain this question: “What kind of goat walks on its hind legs?” The answer, of course, is Krampus, who’s inspired by European folklore but here is also given his own army of killer cookies and toys—including a terrifyingly toothy Jack-in-the-Box that practically rates its own entry on this list. With an outstanding cast led by Toni Collette and Adam Scott, Krampus teaches us the importance of not letting go of the holiday spirit, lest a hulking man-goat monster appear and drag you straight to hell.
