Enjoy Christmas in Kamloops on the silver screen – Kamloops This Week

Kamloops horror and comedy podcast Drunk in a Graveyard and the Kamloops Film Society are presenting a series of movies at the Paramount Theatre

Kamloops horror and comedy podcast Drunk in a Graveyard and the Kamloops Film Society are presenting a series of movies at the Paramount Theatre, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.

Dec. 11 will feature a screening of Krampus, along with a live Krampus at the theatre, with whom photos can be taken by donation, proceeds of which will go to the Kamloops Film Society.

Photos will take place from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., with the film to follow at 6:30 p.m.

Hailing from Germanic alpine tradition, Krampus is a sidekick of sorts to jolly Old Saint Nick. While Santa Claus brings presents to nice children, Krampus comes to punish the naughtier ones. Krampus is often depicted as a devilish character or a twisted version of Santa Claus.

On Dec. 17, the 1974 Canadian horror movie Black Christmas will be screened at 6:30 p.m. The original flick is one of the scariest movies ever made and far superior to the recent remake.

On Dec. 18, the classic holiday film Christmas Vacation will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Organizers will also be selling eggnog, singing songs and awarding prizes in the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest.

For tickets and other information, visit the Facebook pages of Drunk in a Graveyard or Kamloops Film Society.
