Trivia
The film was originally to release on November 25 but was pushed back to December 4 to coincide with the Krampusnacht, a traditional Austrian festival held on December 5 that celebrates the Krampus coming to punish naughty children.

Goofs
After Max talks with his dad after dinner, he is shown reading his letter to Santa. The close up shows he is reading the front page, but when the camera angle changes to over his shoulder he is reading the other side. The angle switches back and he is again reading from the front page.

Quotes
Howard: We should have gone to stay with my brother!
Linda: Your brother lives in a barn!
Howard: Jesus was born in a barn!

Crazy credits
The closing credits feature a Christmas song, "Carol of the Bells", which is twisted to mention the Krampus and warn of his coming.

Alternate versions
(The Naughty Cut) Recently released by Scream Factory on 4K Ultra HD, this alternate version restores key dialogue and scenes that had to be trimmed from the original theatrical release to appease the MPAA.

Connections
Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Viola Davis/Allison Tolman/The Scottos/Emily Armstrong (2015)

A Christmas scare that offers tons of fun for the audience

Sags a bit in the middle but Michael Dougherty's Christmas scare, 'Krampus,' still offers tons of fun for the audience. It's both lighthearted and funny but also surprisingly horrifying. The movie features strong acting all around with leads Adam Scott, Toni Collette, and David Koechner providing wonderful performances. 'Krampus' also features a wealth of fantastic effects, from the evil toys, to the elves, and especially Krampus himself. There is no lack of great creature effects.
