Scott, Collette set for Dougherty’s Krampus

“Trick ‘RT Treat” director Michael Dougherty’s latest movie “Krampus”, a Christmas-themed horror flick from Legendary, has commissioned the acting services of Adam Scott and Toni Collette.

The movie, which fixes on a family that comes under attack from a Santa Claus-like ancient entity who punishes bad kids, sees Scott (“Parks & Recreation”) playing pa, and Collette (“United States of Tara”) playing ma, says THR.

Allison Tolman already is on board as Collette’s sister-in-law, while Emjay Anthony is playing the son.

The movie will likely shoot in New Zealand.
