How Classic Christmas Movie Characters Would Fare Against Krampus

At the start, Krampus feels very much like any other Christmas movie. We meet a likable family with cute kids anticipating the big holiday. Annoying relatives come to visit. A nasty snowstorm pounds the suburban enclave where they live… and then a half-man, half-goat demon begins picking them off one by one.

The last part, of course, is what makes Krampus not very much like your typical Yuletide yarn. But what if this creature had paid a visit to other famous Christmas movie families? Who would survive, and who would die a grisly death at the hands of the mythical beast?

We put that question to Krampus stars Adam Scott and Allison Tolman as well as writer-director Michael Doughtery. Watch above as they decide the fates of characters from Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and Home Alone, and marvel at the unconscionable act of Adam Scott killing off Kevin McAllister.

Krampus is now in theaters. Watch the cast explain what in the world Krampus is:
