Austro – Bevarian folk lore. He is a half goat, half demon who punishes children who are bad at Christmas in contrast of course with Santa who rewards the good boys and girls.

As far as Christmas horror goes it wasn’t my sisters favorite. She didn’t love the family and she felt the motive was lacking because he took “good” people too. So the rules are kind of out too for her and the she did not like the ending.

I however dug most of it. It was funny in parts. Had a great cast and some super innovative kills, the man eating jack in the box is frightening as shit. Though i did want Krampus himself to be scarier. It was pretty realistic and had great effects. I really liked the cautionary tale story.

Overall Tara did not like it much for a score of 46/100 but i nearly loved it with a score of 75/100, so I say check it out, you wont be disappointed but be warned my sister disagrees and you might too!

10 Things That Make Me DJVoorhees. 1. My favorite food is pepperoni pizza. From the East Coast of course. 2. My most prized possession is a replica of the Hellraiser puzzle box. My sister haggled the price for me, but she still doesn't like touching the thing. 3. Controversial Food Opinion Time! For one, fish is meat. It was once alive. Now it's food. Fish is meat. For another thing, a lot of fish can be paired with different kinds of cheese and be quite delicious. Gordon Ramsey and many other chefs are wrong. Yeah, I said it. 4. A lot of movies make me tear up. I'm not too proud to admit that. Even horror gets me when done well. Train to Busan, for instance, hit me so hard, I think I cried during the whole end credits. 5. My dream house would be all one story, have a huge back yard for our 2 dogs, a huge catio for our 2 cats (complete with tunnels, trees, and a cat door so they can run in and out whenever), several industrial-sized airconditioning systems, a solar array, a panic system, a library, a game room, a movie theater, 3 different kitchens, an indoor swimming pool, 2 koi ponds and a giant wall surrounding the whole damn thing. 6. If I could have superhero type powers, I'd want to make anyting I can imagine, a reality. Organic or inorganic. A living thing or a sandwich. If I see a Burger King commercial, I want to be able to think a Whopper into being right in front of me. 7. I'm enjoying a lot of interesting music lately. From classic rock to modern singer-songwriters. Some of my favorites are Jasmine Thompson, Norah Jones, Chris Stapleton and the great James Taylor. 8. I watched wrestling for over a decade from the 90's into the 2000's. Recently, with the introduction of the Bloodline faction and the return of The Rock, I started watching it again. I'm really liking it, too. Some of my favorites are Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. 9. Creepy, sickly, old women scare me. Think "Zelda" from Pet Sematary, "Mrs. Kersh" from IT, and "The Countess" from Black Sabbath. 10. My first pet ever was a bunny named Buffy. Yes, after the vampire slayer. The movie slayer though, not the show one. Do not like the show.
