Literally anyone: *loses Christmas spirit* Krampus: It's free real estate

It’s sad that the parents didn’t do anything when the cousins were reading the letter That’s literally what started the movie

Jack is probably the most scariest and cutest horror monster ever. I love how he hugs the elves and was clapping when they arrived

The family's not actually in a snow globe, Krampus is just using a snow globe to spy on them and make sure they keep the Christmas spirit.

Random kid: *loses his/her christmas spirit* Krampus : SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH?!

All Krampus wants to do is give the family some Sprite Cranberry

I would kill for a recount of this movie for Christmas

Man, watching this Christmas 2021, I used to think Dead Meat hit it's prime around the time of this count, yet James' delivery is so monotone, hurried, and lacking that delicious behind the scenes goodness. Really shows how this channel constantly improves that you go back and realise old material you thought was great is really not so great compared to now!

Dog gets captured John Wick: Now you’ve just captured my attention

My interpretation of the end is this: When Max finally confronts krampus himself and says he’s sorry for losing the spirit of Christmas, thus offering himself up for his own family. Krampus (in his own twisted sense of humor) sees this self sacrifice as a good enough reason to let all of them go. So the only way he can legitimately do this is to take them all so he can revert everything back to the way it should be, still giving max the bell as a damn good reminder to not do it again. The snow globe is to make sure they don’t fuck up again and keep watch over them. Cause remember: he sees you when you’re sleeping*

What is even more terrifying about Krampus himself in this adaptation is that the filmmakers confirmed that the old man face he is seen with is not his face. It's a FLESH MASK, just like Leatherface! So he is hiding his real demon face underneath that old man mask.

I love how not only does the family have a real bond. So does Krampus’ and his monsters.

Man you kept saying my name in this over and over I appreciate the love.

Theres actually two ways to interpret the ending, either the Sad ending that the family is trapped for eternity in a holy jolly xmas snow globe or the family is now under watch from Krampus to keep the family spirits up for the holidays and krampus might come back leaving the ornament as a warning he's always watching.

Love how the clouds in Chucky went from being Gozer clouds to being Chucky clouds in Krampus

It's funny watching this again after so many years. You really notice the difference in James' delivery. He sounds like literally just reading everything off a bit of paper here. He's gotten so much better!

I dont think James realized Krampus was wearing someone's face over its own. Thats the reason the mouth is always open and the skin looks so clammy. Its honestly a fantastic design choice

*Imagine if you where the one family member that was sick or on vacation somewhere else*

Actually, most people (myself included) believe that the snow globes are just him watching the families to make sure they keep the Christmas spirit. He doesn't have them trapped forever.

“So love your family folks or you’ll wind up in a fricking snow globe and a billionaire will drop you on the floor and break you” Lmao I can’t today man 😂💀

I think the snow globe meant that “sees you when your sleeping” thing and they were being watched not just stuck

I always forget how fast and near emotionless James' kill counts used to be. He's gotten so much better

I actually love this movie. I like the kind of horror movie with comedy to kinda numb the fear. And the fact it’s a Christmas film means it’s got a tradition of watching it every year. Also, I tricked my horror movie hating mother to watch it one year. She loved it lol

Max:*rips of letter for Santa* Karmpus:boi u know what whats gonna go down now.

Wait... Are you telling me you DONT have a German grandma whose family was taken by a demon goat?

I hate scary movies. But this guy makes me enjoy them so much. It's such a lighter look at what freaks me out so much. Well done man.

10:32 WTF 😭😭 I DONT CARE IF YOUR FAMILY IS BEING CAPTURED DONT SEND THE DOG PLEASEE 😭 POOR BABY SHE WAS MY FAV CHARACTER

I saw this movie as a kid and was absolutely terrified at the scene of Krampus sending down the Jack-in-a-box to kill the girl under the van!

Personally, I don't think Krampus dragged the family down to hell. I think he constructed a nightmare for them, a warning of sorts that was designed to remind them that they need to keep the spirt of Christmas alive or else just like he gave it to Grandma Omi when he dragged her family down to hell. The bell that Max gets is the way that he reminds the family that the dream was, in some way, real as he is real. Finally, the snow globe at the end isn't their prison, it's a way for Krampus to keep an eye on them in case they try to violate the spirt of Christmas again. But that is just my opinion on it as I like the idea of a happy ending.

Human dies: oh ok cool Animal dies: *turns into sammyclassicsonicfan*

Idk I think krampus is kinda good all he wants is to teach people a strong lesson to be good

I love how the movie thinks the children fighting is a dysfunction, when in reality, if siblings don't fight, they probably rarely interact with one another.

Funfact: "Omi" means "Granny" in Germany... So she's basically "Grandma Granny"

I'm gonna be honest, this movie scared the shit out of me.

I remember watching this with my family on Christmas Eve.

This version of Krampus is actually still a goat demon. In behind the scenes they show that the mask has two sets of teeth and they say that Krampus is wearing an old man’s face.

If the elves are Krampus's family, that means that it's *Christmas With the Kramps*

Grandma" how did your brother die" Me: he ate a gingerbread man and got dragged up a chimmney"

4:01 - As someone who lives in the Midwest, and commutes to University in the Midwest, I can confirm that, we are used to walking/driving in the snow.

I think the dog is a real one for having an appetite at the right time,I love her sm

Me:I’m the BEST at the floor is lava Krampus:Hold my children

This movie had some of the most creative captures I've ever seen on this channel!

I was raised on Tim Burton so I loved that story and it's animation

5:38 "I understood that reference" Steve "Captain America" Rogers

“Mad jumping skills he’s great at floors lava”😂😂

You forgot one capture: Me You've captured my attention And my subscription

james voice is so calming and nice to hear, he speaks so fast yet so clearly and idk when he says chocolate or stuff like that its very nice to hear

14:28 THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOMENT IN THE DEAD MEAT CHANNEL

"He just looks like messed-up Santa Claus with a long-ass tongue." Well, yeah, James...it's a mask. Krampus is wearing a Santa Claus mask.

He isn’t a bad guy he’s like the principal of Christmas

I would love a re-count of the captures in this film! Some of the behind the scenes would be dope, especially the huge toys like the jack in the box.. Maybe this year

Michael Dougherty describes the Krampus in this film as Santa Claus's shadow: "He's not the unstoppable monster that kicks down your door and rampages and grabs you. There's something darkly playful about him. He's having a good time doing what he does, and he enjoys the cat-and-mouse aspect of it." The Krampus's final design was distilled from various postcards and illustrations of the creature over the years. Krampus is a huge part of Austrian and German folklore. In Austria and southern Germany, they have "Krampus Runs" where grown-up men dress up as Krampuses and parade through the city streets and scare children. They made a point of having the film's first act be strictly a "Christmas movie" before having it turn towards horror and dark fantasy. Max's mom alludes to "the noodle incident" that estranged the family from a neighboring one. The noodle incident was often referred to but never explained in the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip, and Krampus also leaves it unexplained. The opening sequence was shot on location in a single day at a department store in New Zealand. The visible breath in the cold exteriors was done digitally, but a major component of it involved filming real people in freezers reading dialogue for the scenes. Their breath was then isolated and added optically into the shots. Michael Dougherty described the film as a darker version of a Christmas family film: "Christmas movies exist in their own little snow globe, where a clashing family, no matter how sick of each other, always manages to overcome their differences and live happily ever after. But what if the family's issues escalated, and then they sort of allow Krampus to seep into their reality?" Understandably, with the controversy that surrounded other Christmas horror movies like Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) and Black Christmas (1974), Krampus (2015) was a hard story to sell. It wasn't until Legendary Pictures agreed to a PG-13 rating that Universal green lit the movie. In Max's letter to Santa Claus, his full name is Max Engel. The name "Engel" is the German word for "angel". This hints at his family's Austrian heritage. When Tom speaks with his mother, he does not speak standard German, but Austrian dialect. The Krampus is most associated with Austria. The evil toys that attacked the family included an angel ornament, a teddy bear, a Jack-in-a box and a robot, similar to the evil toys in the movie Demonic Toys (1992) only instead of an evil angel ornament, it was an evil baby doll. The glimpse of A Christmas Carol playing on the television is meant as foreshadowing to this film's end.

grandparents are always wise in scary movies the siblings always hate eachother until the spooky stuff starts happening the dogs are always adorable and terrible parents who always wonder where they went wrong

This was all the cousin’s fault.

My favorite part is “I’m old enough to know when life’s coming at you with his pants down”!

4:34 wait so Beth was captured? I thought she was gettin eaten alive

Austrian here: The usual tradition is, that one day before St. Nikolaus shows up on the 6th of December in order to treat the good kids, he sends the Krampus to punish the bad ones, usually by taking them with him in a basket on his back and throwing them into the pits of hell. Basically, here in Austria your parents ask your neighbours to dress up as the Krampus (the costumes are really common here, the dress is made out of goat fur and the mask is made out of wood, cheaper versions are simply made out of rubber) and come over to your house in order to scare the living shit out of you. When I was 4 years old, the Krampus stomped into our living room, smashing arround his chain while screaming like a maniac, breaking multiple glasses and a clock in the process, grabed me at the collar, pulled me up from under the table, draged me outside through the snow and threw me on a hay cart, where some other children were already in it. Then he drove through the neighbourhood with us for about another hour, getting some more kids on his way till he stopped at the main square of our little town, where our laughing parents were waiting for us and he finally released us. Us kids got a piece of nut loaf as a kind of compensation afterwards. Some ten years later, my parents told me that they had a serious talk with the guy dressed up as the Krampus that night, cause they found it really over the top that he broke their clock. Though I almost pissed my pants everytime the Krampus showed up when I was a toddler, these are among the best childhood memories I have. (;

That Jeff Goldblum reference was the only Christmas present I needed this year.

I love these unique rewards you sometimes give these shows.

we need a recount of this

4:10 Imagine having to play the floor is lava with this guy, but the floor is litteraly lava

*kids beat up each other* Parents: *i love wwe*

For the record I blame Stevie for making fun of Max's letter to santa. Because you should never EVER mock to someone who is wishing for a bit of Hope of their family for Christmas

My favorite season is Christmas and I’m glad you did Krampus because it fits perfectly🌨🌨❄️☃️⛄️

7:53 anyone else notice how the santa goes from smiling to a sad face?

"Howard gets grabbed by something underneath the snow that whips him back and forth like he's Willow Smith's hair." laughed my ass off for a bit there

You not only count the kills but you recap the whole movie I love your content and made sure to subscribe

I started listening to the DNDND podcast and I am hooked! Almost done with season 1!!

But seriously, what idiot goes to eat a gingerbread man that's DANGLING FROM A CHAIN DOWN THE FIREPLACE?!?

3:50 "Did we learn nothing from Anthrax" LMAO James looked hilarious, the way he said it too💀 This video is the perfect Christmas present 🎁

This story/scenario would make for a great one-shot D&D campaign.

Aunt Dorothy’s capture was the best that noise was everything

Also, the snowglobe ending is meant to be open-ended, and left to interpretation. Whether the family is unknowingly trapped in a snowglobe within Krampus' workshop, or if the Snowglobe is his way of keeping an eye on them to ensure they learned their lesson, and regained the Christmas Spirit they cast aside. Remember he is St. Nicolas' Shadow who exists as his antithesis. So he ALSO sees you when you're sleeping, and knows when you're awake. He and Santa know if you've been bad or good........and he's why you must be good for goodness sake. But that's the beauty of this ending: it's up to the audience to decide what the ending means, and what the families fate REALLY is. Once again utilizing the horror concept "fear of the unknown", which i'm really a fan of now.:D

“Did we learn nothing from anthrax?”- best line

I’m not sure if you noticed but Krampus actually has a full goat head and he’s just wearing a flesh mask that looks like Santa Claus

The line who gave the family tickle me Elmo’s left me in stitches

The way he narrates it is great😂

Krampus just set the record for most captures in a capture count

Man,I can’t believe the dog saved Howard from the gingerbreadman

i still rewatch this because krampus is soooo good 😭😭😭😭😭

"They steal the baby like they're some kind of well-hung goblin king" that got me lmao

I’ve seen like 20 these vids today....I can’t stop.

Roses are red Frappuccinos are dapper I’m James A jannise Let’s get to the captures

Someone: Santa’s fa- Krampus: *brandishes his living deadly present shot gun* welp, another day at the job..

In the end Krampus is just a pissed off old man that makes sure people love christmas as much as he does

"the whole house looks like an abandoned Norwegian Outpost in Antarctica" I see what you did there...

There's no Santa in that universe. But, there's an anthropomorphic goat that kills people for not believing in Santa?

My mom actually recommended me this movie, she watched it last year around Christmas time and told me it was "pretty good". I wasn't too sure about it so I'm glad you had a Kill Count for it, it definitely does seem good!

Kicking off the Christmas season with this one

I like how you give a summary of the movie too

A German grandma? check. Lost her family too a demon goat?... Check.

5:14 “If doin’ The Scarn is gay, THEN I’M THE BIGGEST QUEER ON EARTH!”

Rest in peace Conchata Ferrell. March 28, 1943-October 12, 2020

i don't remember this episode of Parks n Rec

The description of this movie is a comedy, no joke, go look at the ad

I feel like this movie would be insanely funny with home alone music playing every time someone gets captured 💀
