Kevin Smith came up with the idea of a Christmas-themed horror anthology film last year, once again drawing from an episode of his podcast for inspiration. Soon afterward, director Michael Dougherty (Trick R’ Treat) announced a similar film of his own called Krampus. Now there is a third holiday horror anthology coming out this year called… wait for it… A Christmas Horror Story. This one stars William Shatner and is directed by some Canadian filmmakers who were responsible for the Ginger Snaps sequels, but hey, it also has Santa Claus fighting Krampus so there’s that to look forward to. A Christmas Horror Story hits select theatres and VOD on Oct. 2nd; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
