You brought us down here!

You f***ed me.

And you killed Dylan!

Molly! Molly!

Help me, Molly!

Aunt Etta!

Etta!

Etta, let me in!

Aunt Etta!

Etta!

Don't leave me out here!

Etta!

Etta, help me!

Merry Christmas, motherf***er!

It is almost dawn.

We will be safe.

Shouldn't we try and fix this

to trap him again?

Whatever do you mean?

Wasn't that how he got out?

When Duncan broke it?

Oh, no, dear, this is just an ornament.

Then how did Gerhart turn into it?

Krampus is a Christmas spirit.

And like your father said...

The Christmas spirit can fill anyone.

But if your heart is blackened

with anger and vindictiveness,

then this spirit will fill it

until you become a hellish beast.

A hunter of the wicked.

Gerhart's anger let it in and...

He came after us.

So you kicked Gerhart out

after you kicked us out.

Then you put the cross on the door

to protect yourself from Krampus, right?

Yes.

- That's why you sent us away.

- What?

You knew my f***ed up family would be shark

bait for that thing, so you got rid of us.

- Wait, it isn't like that at all...

- Sure it is!

You thought Gerhart was gonna turn so you

sent us away knowing that he'd come after us.

You sacrificed us for Krampus

to save your selfish old ass!

Oh, please, please, now calm yourself.

You don't know the forces

that you are playing with.

Yes, I do.

And I know something else.

You've been a bad girl.

Mother of God!

Police are telling...

people just to stay away.

All right, just keep clear of the mall.

I know a lot of you are worried

about your friends and family, well...

the best thing you can do is just...

stay put.

And pray for a Christmas miracle.

Still no word on how many hostages

there may be down there, but...

But just... just stay at home.

For the love of God.

Is that you, dear?

Who's there?

Martha... is that you?

Leave me alone.

It's safe now.

It's over.

It's not over!

Oh, my darling.

Who's there?

I knew it. Krampus!

Vile enemy of Christmas.

We end this tonight.

Norman, stop!

Please don't kill me, Norman.

Norman?

Who's Norman?

What the f*** is wrong with you, Norman?

Martha, is that you?

- Leave me alone.

- It's only me.

F***, f***, f***, f***!

F***!

It's time.

Freeze! Put your hands up now!

What the hell is it about Christmas

in Bailey Downs?

Are we cursed or something?

Why does this season of love

and peace and goodwill

keep ending in blood

and death and horror?

You keep the spirit in your hearts,

you hear me, people.

You hug your loved ones

and you keep them close

and you treat them every Christmas

like it might be your last.

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle...

Let's go to the phones.

Hey, look, if they just had more

police training, then stuff like this...

You think more police can do anything?

Are you... it's Christmas!

There are magical dark forces

out there. People, wake up!

It's a beautiful season, it's light

and it's dark and it's ying and it's yang.

For our Asian friends out there,

you know who you are.

I said Asian, right?

I didn't say Oriental, right?

Well, I don't know!

You tell me which is offensive.

I'm a Christmas expert.

It's 11 Lords a-leapin' and ten mai...

ten maids a-milkin'.

No, no, no, don't go to the...

Don't you Google that!

I hate it!

We as a society...

can't go five minutes without...

looking... looking up a...

No, wait a minute,

somebody's texting me.

It's 11 pipers piping,

I'm way off, I'm sorry.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Horse open sleigh

It's Christmas Eve, all who believe

Santa is here, but once a year

All girls and boys, dream of new toys

Soundly they sleep, wishes to keep

Jing jing-a-ling, come hear us sing

Wreaths on the door, stockings and more

Magic is thrive, spells come alive

Snow in the air, laughter to share

Magic is thrive, spells come alive

Snow in the air, laughter to share

Wreaths on the door,
