This time next year, we will all celebrate the wonder of this holiday season with a brand-new Krampus movie. So start sharpening your whoopin' sticks, the anti-Claus is coming!


Director Michael Dougherty (and friends) have created three Krampus gifs that tease the new monstrous movie. With a projected release date of sometime at the end of 2015, we absolutely cannot wait to see a real life Krampus on the screen.

Here's the official premise and a few more teasers gifs:

Based on the ancient legend of a pagan demon who punishes the wicked, Legendary Pictures' KRAMPUS, a twisted horror comedy set during the holidays, is written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat). Co-written by Todd Casey and Zach Shields and produced by Legendary's Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Alex Garcia, this darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul will be released by Universal Pictures.
