Hull is pulling out all the stops this time around by casting horror film veterans Bill Moseley and Kane Hodder for Krampus: The Devil Returns! This time around we’ll be seeing more blood, more Santa and of course more Krampus. Read on for all the details.
From The Press Release
Director Jason Hull and Snowdog Studio announce their sequel to 2014’s “Krampus: The Christmas Devil,” in “Krampus: The Devil Returns.” Jason states that production on this rendition will be further elevated, promising to include more of “what the fans requested,” in more blood, more Krampus, more Santa, and a spectacular cast.
Attached to the film are Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Devil’s Rejects), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th VII, VIII, and X, Frozen), Robert Mukes (House of 1,000 Corpses), Tiffani Fest (Circus of the Dead), and scream queen darling Melantha Blackthorne (Sinners and Saints, A Grim Becoming) will be joining various returning members from the prior cast, including Rich Goteri, Mike Mili, A.J. Leslie, Darin Foltz, and Paul Ferm returning as Santa.
Krampus is based on actual mythology dating back to 17th century Alpine/Eastern European lore. Krampus is Saint Nick’s evil brother. However, unlike St. Nick, Krampus brings wrath on children who misbehave. This story takes place shortly after the demise of Jeremy’s (A.J. Leslie) family. Krampus has returned to this small community and is seemingly out of control on his quest to punish bad children. Jeremy is brought back to help end the reign of terror that Krampus has brought upon so many towns.
Filming is slated to begin in the winter of 2015, with a November 2016 release date. “Krampus: The Christmas Devil,” their first film, will be released worldwide via ITN Distribution this fall.
