'Krampus Origins' writer Robert Conway says it's hard to find 'an idea that won't get buried by too many similar titles'

Conway's forte isn't just plain horror. His signature style, though, is blending all the gory, bloody, and scary aspects into one tight-knit plot thus making for a compact horror.

Horror has accelerated to crazy, insane lengths in the new age of cinema. There is no one genre of horror now; there are psychological thrillers bridled with science fiction, and then there are slasher horrors with a tinge of supernatural. Bordering along the lines of a bit of everything is 2018's latest horror 'Krampus Origins' - a blast from the past about how the horrifying stories revolving around the infamous Christmas Devil came to be. 

Directed by Joseph Mbah, and starring Maria Olsen, Anna Harr, Amelia Haberman, the official synopsis of the film describes its story like this: "The first World War rages on when a group of American soldiers find a mysterious artifact that can summon the ancient evil of the Krampus. After the men are killed in action, the artifact is sent to the commanding officer's widow who is a teacher at a small-town orphanage. The orphans accidentally summon the Krampus and the teacher, and her pupils are forced to battle this ancient evil."
