In 2015, Michael’s Dougherty’s tale of yuletide terror, Krampus, was released in theaters with a family-friendly PG-13 rating.

When it comes to classic horror, the Universal and Hammer monster movies come immediately to mind. Next, perhaps the Amicus anthologies or the films Val Lewton produced for RKO in the 1940s.
