Krampus

Oh, the weather outside is frightful and the fire is...not going to stop Krampus from collecting his victims!

The Mikes ignore Omi's advice and check out Santa's evil other half in the 2015 film, Krampus, directed by Michael Dougherty, on this episode of Forgotten Cinema.

Mike Butler and Mike Field throw out some interesting facts about the making of the film, talk about how awkward and uncomfortable scenes in films can only go far before alienating your audience, and gush over the practical effects and the Joe Dante-esque feel of the film.

So grab your candy cane and hot cocoa, please notice the winter wonderland at the front and rear of the sleigh, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
