\"krampus\"<\/a>We’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about Christmas horror comedy Krampus<\/strong><\/em>, the new film from Trick ‘R Treat<\/em> <\/strong>writer-director Michael Dougherty, and now two stars have been cast.<\/p>\n

THR<\/a> reports that Fargo<\/em><\/strong>‘s Allison Tolman, who played dogged detective Molly Solverson, and Emjay Anthony, who played Jon Favreau’s son in Chef<\/em><\/strong>, will take the film’s two lead roles.<\/p>\n

The site reports that the film “is a twisted horror comedy centering around a Santa Claus-like ancient entity who punished bad kids. Tolman and Anthony will play mother and son in a family that is under the demon’s attack. Anthony’s character is essentially the lead of the movie, as his is the one that has to step up to save the day.”<\/p>\n

Tolman was absolutely superb in Fargo<\/em><\/strong>, and Trick ‘R’ Treat<\/em><\/strong> is one of the finest Halloween movies ever made, so we’re a little bit excited about this one.<\/p>\n

Krampus<\/em> is set for a UK cinema release on 27 November 2015. You can buy Trick R Treat on DVD for £6 at Amazon.co.uk.<\/a> Keep up with the latest genre news with the new issue of SciFiNow<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
