Todd Casey and Zach Shields wrote the initial script set around the Christmas holiday and a pagan demon called Krampus who punishes the wicked.
Dougherty of course co-wrote "X2: X-Men United" and "Superman Returns" and his hiring is not a shock given the cult fanbase (myself among them) that love his Halloween-themed horror anthology flick "Trick 'r Treat". Dougherty has also been drawing inventive and twisted Christmas cards for well over a decade.
The project is not to be confused with that other Krampus movie in the works--"Anti-Claus" that Kevin Smith is slated to direct.
