Stills from the unaired 1967 Rankin/Bass Christmas special "Krampus Drags All The Naughty Little Children To Hell."
Following the success of 1964’s “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” NBC was eager to market new Christmas mascots, and greenlit a pitch by Rankin/Bass to reach beyond contemporary American Santa Claus stories and explore darker international Christmas folklore. Apparently misunderstanding the Krampus lore, one exec reportedly believed they had found “the next Rudolph,” saying “every little Jack and Jill in America is going to want a stuffed toy of our adorable ‘Santa Goat’.”
The result, however, was a different story. Shelved before it ever aired, the film was described by NBC president Julian Goodman as “among the most foul and blasphemous affronts to God and man I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing.” In the film, naughty children are visited by Krampus, who warns them of their fate if they don’t change their ways before Christmas. When the children continue to misbehave, they find familiar holiday scenes like tree lightings and snowball fights dissolving into vivid nightmares; even Santa Claus is stripped of his flesh and becomes evil “Skelly Claus.” The nightmares conclude with Krampus and his demons dragging the children to infernal dungeons at Satan’s command, where their souls burn in hellfire for all eternity, as visualized in the film’s surreal 20-minute final sequence, described by those who have seen it as “an agonizing maelstrom of non-stop screaming.”
