- GoofsAfter Max talks with his dad after dinner, he is shown reading his letter to Santa. The close up shows he is reading the front page, but when the camera angle changes to over his shoulder he is reading the other side. The angle switches back and he is again reading from the front page.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits feature a Christmas song, "Carol of the Bells", which is twisted to mention the Krampus and warn of his coming.
- Alternate versions(The Naughty Cut) Recently released by Scream Factory on 4K Ultra HD, this alternate version restores key dialogue and scenes that had to be trimmed from the original theatrical release to appease the MPAA.

Featured review
Three days before Christmas, a suburban family gets together to celebrate the holidays.
One child named Max wants to continue the family's Christmas traditions, but tensions between members of the family keep everyone from having a good time and the family lose their Christmas spirit, especially Max, who rips up his letter to Santa and throws it to the wind after his cousins read it out at the dinner table Shortly afterwards, a severe blizzard appears and cuts out power in the entire town and Christmas will never be the same.
Now Despite it's Christmas Background this film is anything but cherry. In fact this film is one of the best main stream horror films produced in quit some time.
In this film we get a cross between "Night of the Living Dead" and "Gremlins". If your fans of those films then you will enjoy this movie.
If you have small children please do not let them watch this.
