Something of a passion project this from a one Mr Kevin Smith. A man you might remember as the genius behind Mallrats and Jay & Silent Bob, but who I will always remember for dunking on some twitter doyle who tried to grass me up to him. "Did you know, Kevin Smith" this bedwetter cried, "that Adam Clery from WhatCulture says you haven't made a good movie in years?!!?".

"Yes" said Kevin Smith, "he's right".

In your face, nerd.

Anyway, way back in April 2014, Smith announced that he was working on a Christmas-themed horror movie Anti-Claus, and that it would have a script based on the Christmas special of his now legendary Edumacation podcast. Filming began later that year with Tusk actors Justin Long, Michael Parks and Haley Joel Osment. Yes, him from the 6ixth Sense.

The story, as best as we can figure, focuses on the slightly twisted European folklore interpretation of Santa called Krampus, an evil devil-esque creature who sneaks around in the night punishing and (I think) eating children on the naughty list. In 2017, it was announced that this had all been reworked into Killroy Is Here (by the sounds of it a similar story but with an anthology twist to it) and that Chris Jericho had joined the cast as "The Gator Chaser".

Expected Release: Unconfirmed, But Expected Winter 2019
