- Der Klown. Dear God, Der Klown. It's a very large, snake-like beast that swallows children and has a split-open mouth.
- The really intense chase sequence on the rooftops.
- 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 demonic toys are all creepy, but special mention goes to Perchta the Cherub, with her twisted eyes and lizard-like tongue.
- The final twenty minutes. DEAR LORD, the final twenty minutes are so rife with Paranoia Fuel that it's almost nauseating.
- The large unseen monster that burrows beneath the snow.
- Depending on the interpretation, the ending either implies the family, and many others like it, are all trapped in an eternal Christmas in their house and can never leave the inside of the snowglobe; or they are alive and free but the snowglobe signifies that Krampus is using it to keep an eye on them for the rest of their lives. It's either venturing into And I Must Scream territory or pure Paranoia Fuel.
- 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 Paranoia Fuel 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.
- The Underworld. When the Krampus opens the pit, screaming can be faintly heard in the background. It's heavily implied, and given the lore around the actual Krampus myth highly likely to be a Fire and Brimstone Hell.
- Omi's encounter with Krampus.
