The popularity of the mythical Alpine creature known as Krampus reached a fever pitch last year, and a few films came along to capitalize on the trend. There was the low-budget Krampus: The Reckoning and the (better than you’d expect) anthology A Christmas Horror Story, but it was Trick ‘r Treat director Michael Dougherty who …
Released earlier this month, Michael Dougherty’s Krampus became a surprise hit at the box office, and I think it’s safe to say the film’s success can be chalked up to both positive reviews and the fact that the titular character is currently more popular than ever. Dougherty’s movie quite literally came along at the perfect …
Six years after Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat was dumped to video, after sitting on a shelf for a couple years prior, his follow-up Krampus spread holiday fear at the box office this past weekend. Much to the delight of the horror community – or at least the fans who actually like horror movies – …
At the time of writing this, we’re just a few short days away from the release of Michael Dougherty’s Krampus, and I can’t imagine being a horror fan and not being incredibly excited right now.

At the time of writing this we are 1/4 of a way through 2015, and a handful of this year’s most anticipated horror movies have already seen release. We’ve been fed box office stinkers like The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death and The Lazarus Effect, but we’ve also gotten a decent amount of …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images I’ve stumbled across on the internet this week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! I tweeted earlier today that I don’t want to be …
