While I haven’t seen anything I like from dear old Kevin Smith in quite some time, I am actually pretty stoked for Tusk, and his super ballsy religious-themed genre piece, Helena Handbasket.
He surprised his fans Friday by dropping another bombshell on his official blog, announcing a new screenplay entitled Night of the Krampus, which is inspired by the epic anthology, Creepshow.
Explains Smith: “If you listen to the EDUMACATION podcast, you’ll remember that episode 20 (Part 2 of the Christmas eps) consisted of another dopey conversation that resulted in a screenplay – a’la SModcast and TUSK. I was goofing around with Mr. Edumacation himself, Professor Andy McElfresh, when we accidentally brainstormed a Christmas horror anthology that would eschew the gruesome spin on Santa Claus, and instead embrace the Scandinavian/German Kid-Eating Christmas creature known as the The Krampus. That podcast was released 12/23/13.
It took us less than a month, but Andy and I have finished the screenplay for a flick we’re calling COMES THE KRAMPUS! It’s 99 pulse-pounding pages of what’s essentially SModCo’s CREEPSHOW, with four terrifying tales stitched together by a freaky framing device. It was a blast to write and totally new to me, as I never actually wrote a screenplay WITH someone else before.
