Holiday Rhymes - Krampus

 

Rent it on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, and Apple TV 

We’ve covered two classic films 

On this blog so far, 

A family picture and an action flick 

Both setting a high bar. 

Now we turn out attention 

To something with more fright, 

For Christmas is not always jolly 

For those who fear the night. 

Krampus is a horror film 

And a good one I might add, 

A creature-feature with a Holiday theme 

How could this possibly go bad?

The legend of Krampus is an old one 

Hardly spoken of or seen, 

So it is a rare and chilling treat 

When it graces the silver screen. 

Our story follows a family 

Dysfunctional in every way, 

Trying to tolerate each other 

Just for this one Holiday. 

But one young boy has had enough 

Of his families lack of cheer, 

And sets out to make them pay 

By giving them something to fear. 

The boy called for vengeance 

Intentional or not, 

By overshadowing his Christmas Spirit 

With anger and what not. 

His cry called upon Karmpus 

The Anti-Claus if you will,  

An ancient spirit of Christmas 

With plenty of terror to instill. 

He’ll hunt you down 

And make you pay, 

For not celebrating 

This Christmas day. 

Can the family survive 

This horrible night, 

Or will they succumb 

To the dreadful fright? 

This film is a blast 

A proper scary flick, 

If you need a different Christmas watch 

This just might doo the trick. 

It’s not for the whole family

Adults only if you please, 

For it is graphic and course  

Like rare and smelly cheese. 

For a frightful Christmas 

This is a wise choice, 

Halloween and Christmas fans alike 

Can finally rejoice. 

For it is not the only film 

That blends these two traditions, 

For there is another movie 

With similar ambitions. 

But that will have to wait 

For another time and day, 

Until then, be a good person 

Or Krampus will make you pay!
