Krampus’ Recipe

A horror-themed project reimagining holiday folklore with a sinister twist. This concept explores a chilling narrative where Santa Claus kidnaps misbehaving children and uses them as ingredients in a macabre cookie-making ritual. Drawing inspiration from the myth of Krampus — the Alpine folklore creature known for punishing naughty children during the Christmas season — the project blends traditional holiday legends with dark, reinterpreted themes. Created fully in Photoshop using a composition of different images, it combines unsettling props, atmospheric lighting, and detailed scene design to craft a uniquely haunting visual story.
