* Krampus himself. For added horror, the face we see in the movie IS NOT HIS. He's wearing it like a mask, to look more like Santa and less like his goat-like self. The only comfort is that the face likely isn't Santa's.

** The comic tie-in confirms the family isn’t trapped in the snow globe but Krampus is watching them. Sure they aren’t trapped for eternity but it’s still the latter ParanoiaFuel knowing they can’t afford to lose the Christmas spirit or else they’ll see the return of the demon and they likely won’t be given another chance...

* Before the toys make an appearance, the movie sets up the perfect atmosphere for a straight horror movie, rather than a horror-comedy. It gets so tense and strained and laden with paranoia that when they do show up, it can break the tension with the hilarious designs and situation.
