Now, Krampus is coming to Digital HD on April 12 and Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand on April 26… and judging from the details Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has released about the home editions, Christmas comes early this year.

Blu-ray Exclusive Special Features:

“Krampus and His Minions” – In this exclusive feature see how Krampus and his twisted underlings gave the visual-effects superstars at Peter Jackson’s New Zealand-based Weta Workshop some creative and technical challenges. Viewers will have an insider look at how Krampus and his evil minions were created and executed.
“Practical Danger” – Stunt Coordinator Rodney Cook walks viewers through how the film’s thrilling stunts were done live on set while facing challenges with the creatures, children and set design.
“Inside the Snowglobe: Production Design” – Filming almost entirely on sound stages in the middle of summer in New Zealand, the art department and special effects team had to pull out all of their tricks to create sets that were realistic, ready for stunts and practical effects, all while creating the look of a winter wonderland.
“Behind the Scenes at Weta Workshop: Krampus” – Go behind-the-scenes at the world famous Weta Workshop to see how they brought the amazing Krampus creatures to life.
“Dougherty’s Vision” – In this featurette Director Michael Dougherty, along with the film’s cast and crew, reveal how his approach informed the tone, pacing, humor and performances of Krampus.

Based on the notorious folktale of an evil Christmas entity out to abduct and slay misbehaving children who don’t believe in the Yuletide spirit, Krampus finds a young boy’s family in trouble when he denounces Santa and the magic of Christmas in the wake of visiting asshole relatives who have crushed his soul.
