Adam Scott, Toni Collette Lead "Krampus" Cast

Talented actors Adam Scott (“Black Mass,” TV's “Parks & Recreation”) and Toni Collette (“Little Miss Sunshine”) are joined by child sensation Emjay Anthony (Disney's upcoming “The Jungle Book”) in Universal Pictures' horror-comedy “Krampus.”

Says the director: “Our premise was, ‘What if we made that struggle more difficult by adding a heavy dose of supernatural fun to it?’ That meant casting people that you would believe in a family dramedy and finding actors who had strengths in drama and comedy…but who weren’t primarily known for horror films.” In Dougherty’s signature style, he muses, “I think it’s fun to take actors who you love and find endearing and then just do terrible things to them.”
