Krampus (2015 Film)

Three days before Christmas, the Engel family—parents Tom and Sarah, daughter Beth, son Max, and Tom's mother, whom the family calls Omi—prepares for the holidays. Despite his family's dysfunction, Max still believes in Santa Claus and writes him a letter with Omi's encouragement. Sarah's sister, Linda, brings her family and bulldog Rosie to come visit and stay for the holiday, along with their cantankerous Aunt Dorothy. This fuels tension, as Tom hates Linda's husband Howard, and Linda's children Stevie, Jordan and Howie Jr., don't get along with Max or Beth.

The Law of the Gourd and the Gargoyle

When the supernatural became legal in Gotham, the city didn't panic—it just got weirder. 🍃🦇 Years before the Bat-Family, an ancient, shape-shifting tanuki yokai looked down from the rainy rooftops and chose the most fractured soul in the city: Bruce Wayne. Now, in an alternate Gotham where oni act as bouncers and kitsune rule the courtrooms, the Dark Knight has a secret weapon that human logic can't explain. Bullets misfire, plans hold together by a thread of pure luck, and the Batcave smells of roasted chestnuts. The Bat-Family might not understand why the Batmobile occasionally turns into a giant gourd, but in a city where the Veil is just a suggestion, they can't argue with the only magic that actually brings Bruce peace. The Law of the Gourd and the Gargoyle is a chaotic, domestic fluff, and hurt/comfort fusion of Batman grit and ancient folklore—proving that sometimes, the best way to fight the dark is with a little bit of myth and a lot of mischief.
