Written by Michael Mallory with a foreword by writer/director Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Superman Returns, X-Men 2), Insight Editions’ “The Art of Krampus“ is now available at book retailers everywhere.
In Alpine folklore, Krampus is a fearsome horned figure who punishes naughty children during the Christmas season, just as Saint Nick rewards those who behave.
Dougherty brought this iconic figure to life in Krampus, the modern-day horror comedy set against the perfect suburban holiday celebration.
“The Art of Krampus” takes a look at how this terrifying character inspired the filmmaker and Legendary Pictures to create a movie that captures the dark side of the holidays. With fascinating concept art and unit photography showcasing the most thrilling, suspenseful, and horrifying moments of the movie alongside insightful commentary from the cast and crew, this deluxe coffee-table book details all that went into crafting Dougherty’s Yuletide horror film now in theaters.
As an early holiday present, one lucky Bloody Disgusting is going to score one of these bad boys signed by Dougherty!
