Robots and Angels and Bears, Oh My!
Get the Christmas cookies in the oven, finish your letter to Santa, and whatever you do, don't let the fire go out! Hop in the Hummer because Midnight Cinema is celebrating the holidays with the Engel family! And you're invited!
Art and Erik are facing down the shadow of Saint Nicholas as they lead you through the snowbound fun that is Michael Dougherty's 2015 holiday horror comedy Krampus!
We're opening every present and examining every demonic toy of this Christmas-set modern classic.
The spectacular opening scene skewering holiday consumerism
Adam Scott and Toni Collette and the great cast.
The terrifying (and somehow adorable?) Gingerbread Men with nail guns
Killer toys: the Jack-in-the-Box from hell, the Angel creature, the teddy bear attack and the stabby robot.
Aunt Dorothy's one-liners and why she's the MVP of the movie
The lore behind the real European Krampus and how Dougherty updates it
That unforgettable, bleak, twisty ending—interpretation theories included
Snowmen, Evil Elves, WTF Reindeer and what is under the the snow?
By the end, Art and Erik decide whether Krampus is a lump of coal… or a perfect spiked-egg-nog of festive fright.
Spoiler: We're keeping the fire stoked.
