Universal /Legendary Set Dates for Krampus and SpectralGet out your calendars, folks, as Universal/Legendary have just set release dates for two of their upcoming terror tales. Look for the yuletide anthology Krampus on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, and Spectral on August 12, 2016.

Michael Dougherty will be directing Krampus, based on an ancient legend about a pagan demon who punishes the wicked. The film is said to be similar in style to Dougherty’s cult hit Trick ‘r Treat.

The dark ancient origins of our holidays have always fascinated me,” Dougherty said. “I’ve been drawing twisted Christmas cards for well over a decade so it only made sense to bring some of that morbid yuletide fun to the big screen, and Krampus was the perfect mythology to do that. Christmas has been invading Halloween for far too long. It’s time to return the favor.

Spectral, directed by Nic Matthieu, stars Emily Mortimer, James Badge Dale, Max Martini, and Cory Hardrict. The film has been described as a darker and more serious take on a Ghostbusters-like story with a plot that revolves around a special ops group formed to bring down evil ghosts that have taken over Manhattan.

More on both of these soon!
