I had the amazing opportunity to do a 1-on-1 interview with Michael Dougherty, the director of the upcoming Christmas-themed horror movie Krampus, which will be coming out December 4th. Now, I know that you readers are huge fans of Trick ‘r Treat, his 2007 anthology horror film that has become one of the most beloved and acclaimed genre films of the 21st century. Because of this, I asked him a bit about the status of a sequel and where things stand there.

Additionally, and this is where things get REALLY cool, I found out that both Trick ‘r Treat and Krampus may very well take place in the same “universe”, with Dougherty telling me that viewers will have to keep a close eye on the events of the latter film to be able to connect the dots!

You can see this exclusive interview below!

In Krampus, “When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers.

All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.”

Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, Allison Tolman, Conchata Ferrell, Emjay Anthony, Stefania Lavie Owen with Krista Stadler star in Krampus.
