A number of horror films have been made about Krampus, a monster that punishes naughty children at Christmastime. These include Krampus (2015), starring Adam Scott and Toni Collette; Krampus Unleashed (2016); and Krampus: Origins (2018). In addition, Jason Hull directed Krampus: The Christmas Devil (2013) and Krampus: The Devil Returns (2016). Krampus was also a character in the holiday action comedy Red One (2024), which starred Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans; Krampus was played by Kristofer Hivju.
