Krampus Page #5

Synopsis: When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family's home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.

Stevie.

I'm coming, baby.

Stevie. Baby.

It's okay. Mama's here.

Mama's here. There you go.

Mom, it got Jordan.

It was gonna

eat me next.

Thanks, honey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

What?

Mom!

Max!

- Come on, baby.

- Come on, baby. It's okay.

Max, are you okay?

Yeah.

- What happened up there?

- They got Jordan.

- Who?

Mom?

I think it's panicking,

trying to get outside.

Well, we boarded

everything up.

Howard, that's Jordan.

We got to get in there.

We got to get in there

and get her out.

Linda,

what are we dealing with?

What did you see up there?

You don't wanna know,

sweetheart.

Honey, I just got

my ass kicked by a bunch

of Christmas cookies,

so trust me

when I say I can take it!

Shh.

No, no, no.

Max, what are you doing?

- Go get 'em, girl.

Get 'em, Rosie.

Rosie?

Ew!

- For god's sake, Howard,

shoot it!

- Get it off me!

- Dad! Dad! No!

Howard! You b*tch!

Get it off me! God!

Dad!

Omi!

Aunt Dorothy? Finish it.

With pleasure.

Aw, sh*t.

Howard,

where's Chrissy?

I don't know!

- Where's the baby?

Honey,

where's your sister?

No!

No! Howard!

Howard, the baby!

I'll see you in hell.

- Twisted

fairy-tale horseshit!

- Howard, no!

Oh, great.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Max, get the ammo.

- Where did they go?

- I'm more worried about

when they come back.

We need to make

a break for it.

For what, tom?

The snowplow.

It's our only shot.

And then

we're going after 'em.

What is going on?

Sarah, what's going on?

Mom, come on.

We're leaving.

You're gonna be okay.

Mom! We have to go. Now!

It's him.

Come on. Okay.

Hurry, hurry.

- Get your gloves on.

Put your hood up.

Ready?

Everybody,

hold on to each other.

Omi!

Be good.

Omi!

Omi, no!

Omi!

Mom! Mom, open the door!

Mom!

Mom, you open this door now!

The window.

Dad!

She wants to face him.

She's trying to help.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Go!

Keep moving!

Go! Go!

Get behind me. Go.

Go, go, go!

Keep moving.

Come on, buddy.

Come on.

You have to go.

You have to go.

I need you to go.

No.

All of you,

you have to go.

Do you understand?

Keep driving.

Do you understand?

I love you.

I love you, buddy.

Go! Now! Go!

Go!

Come on!

Come on.

Keep going. Keep going.

God. Get in.

I want you

to get up in here.

I don't want you to move.

You stay here.

You don't move.

- Okay? You understand?

- Mom! Mom, please!

Sarah!

Baby, go with

your aunt Sarah.

Stevie, sweetheart,

it's okay.

Mom!

It's okay. Come on.

Sarah!

Stay here.

I'll be right back.

Sarah!

Mom! No!

- I love you.

- Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Max, we got to go.

Max, we got to go. Max.

Come on.

It's not starting.

It's not starting.

Why isn't it starting? Come on.

Come on, Max, please.

I'm trying.

I don't even know

how to drive a stick.

We have a hybrid!

Come on! Please!

Stevie! Stevie!

Max! Max! No! No!

Stevie!

He left me as a reminder

of what happens

when hope is lost,

when belief is forgotten

and the Christmas spirit dies.

Help! Help! Help!

Help me!

Max!

Help me!

Hey!

A**hole!

I take back my wish!

I take it all back!

Give me back my family!

Max!

Let her go!

Help me!

Please.

I know you can fix this.

Give them back.

Take me instead.

What are you doing?

I said, take me.

Take me.

What are you doing?

Take me!

No!

Stevie!

No! Let me go!

No! No! Please!

I'm sorry.

I just wanted

Christmas to be

like it used to be.

No!

You want down?

This dog

didn't keep you guys up?

She likes to bark at night.

She sure does.

Thanks for making pancakes.

About time you got up.

We've been waiting forever.

Oh, hey, there he is.

Hey, kiddo.

We thought

the sugarplum fairies

may have gotten you.

- You're all alive.

- Barely.

I haven't felt this hungover

since the pope died.

What's up, buddy?

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just--

just had a bad dream,

i guess.

Enough with the sappy crap.

Let's open up

the damn presents.

Okay. Okay, already.

Come on, Linda.

Let's do this.

You're gonna help me?

Okay.

Merry Christmas, Max.

Girls.

I got two beverages.

- Stevie, sweetheart.

- Thanks, mom.

- Oh, ho ho ho!

- Isn't that fun?

Hey, maxi-pad.

Training

batting gloves.

What could that

possibly be?

Oh, my god!

- "Oh, my god" is right.

Oh, my--

- that's from me and the girls.

- I had to reattach the foot.

Yeah, if you look closely,

he did a really good job

of reattaching it.

Oh, thank you.

This is great.

Omi, that's beautiful.

Wow. What's this

all about?

It's nothing. Just--

merry Christmas.

Oh. Well,

merry Christmas

to you too, Max.

Merry Christmas, son.

I just wanted Christmas

to be like it used to be.

That's what

a family is, Max.

Nothing bad's gonna happen

on Christmas, right?

I just got my ass kicked

by a bunch of Christmas cookies,

so trust me

when I say I can take it!

"They're why some people

shouldn't be allowed to breed!"

Do you think

they took Howie 'cause of

the time he painted the cats?

And as he had

for thousands of years,

krampus came not to reward,

but to punish.

Not to give,

but to take.
