While this doesn’t really give away or spoil anything, it should be noted that the below track for “Krampus Karol of the Bells” is what you’ll be hearing during the end credits for the upcoming holiday horror/comedy Krampus. It’s a fantastic rewrite of the original and gives it a dark twist that is incredibly enjoyable!

According to USA Today, writer/director Michael Dougherty, “…wrote lyrics for a cautionary tale warning the younger kids to never lose their Christmas spirit,” and took the final product to his nephew’s choir at California’s Brea Olinda High School. Composer Douglas Pipes states, “These kids were an amazing flurry of enthusiasm and talent, true Krampus Karolers. Heed their message!”
Krampus is out on vinyl from Waxwork Records, on digital from Backlot Music and on CD from La La Land Records tomorrow, December 4th.
