Krampus director Michael Dougherty revealed he has an idea for a holiday horror sequel, but it doesn't involve family.
The Big Picture Director Michael Dougherty is the king of holiday horror. For Halloween, he delivered the cult classic Trick 'r Treat which has since become a staple of the spooky holiday in part thanks to its adorable little mascot Sam. Those looking for holly jolly scares, however, can turn to his 2015 film Krampus which twists the legend of the Austro-Bavarian folklore figure into a nightmare for Christmas.
"We have an idea for a sequel on that one, too," he revealed when asked about Krampus. "It doesn't necessarily center around a family as much as it might be about a group of strangers who are trapped somewhere." That plan would be quite a departure from the original whose heart and soul ran through its family dynamic. Krampus unfolds in the days before Christmas as the dysfunctional Engel family struggles to get along during the holidays.
Unlike Trick 'r Treat which weighed a sequel as far back as 2009, there's been no real movement toward bringing Krampus back for the holidays. In fairness, Trick 'r Treat is built better for a sequel as it's an anthology film that could simply tell new stories with its good boy Sam at the center.
'Krampus's Team Is Back Together for 'Trick 'r Treat 2' While a sequel to Krampus isn't in the cards for now, the writers behind the Christmas horror story are reuniting with Dougherty to continue Sam's tale with Trick 'r Treat 2. Dougherty revealed he has a "really good script" in the works with Todd Casey and Zach Shields, though a lot of work remains before the film will see the light of day.
