*A Q&A with actress Frances Lee McCainActress Frances Lee McCain ( Lynn Peltzer in Gremlins, Back to the Future (1985), Footloose (1984) and Stand by Me (1986) and additional cast tba follows the screening.

Joe Dante's 1984 horror/comedy classic scarred the minds of children everywhere and along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating. It made Mogwais as big as Ewoks and showed that microwaves could be used as a weapon. The cartoonish violence took on Looney Tunes levels of mean-spiritedness, and proved that despite being funny, the Gremlins could inspire fear. Gremlins killed people, which is something that the countless imitators like the Ghoulies series, Hobgoblins or Munchies forgot.

 In our new setting for the Krampus Run, your encounter with the costumed monsters of Krampus Los Angeles will be the closest thing yet to the experience you’d enjoy in a little town in the Alps. Not only will the festivities take place amid the faux-Bavarian splendor of Alpine Village’s chalet-styled shops and chapel, but we’re also going to MAKE IT SNOW. Or at least enough snow for you to snap a picture that might convince your friends you snuck off for a secret European vacation. Leaving the urban fishbowl we’ve been using in downtown Los Angeles creates more space, more twists, turns, and hiding places for chases and for surprises encounters with switch-bearing devils.
