10 Christmas Movie Villains More Evil Than Krampus

Over the years, Krampus has had a pretty bad rap. Movies have been made about this all-time-favorite, infamous villain of Christmas, but we’re here to say that he isn’t as bad as everyone makes him out to be when you compare him to other guys. Sure, he’s half-goat, half-human. Not a great combination, but you can’t blame a guy for how he was born. Then you have the whole beating kids with birch branches or hauling them off in a sack. Overall, those aren’t great, but the kids had misbehaved—not that he should react that way to a kid who was a little snot all year.

At the end of the day, Krampus is the worst one out there. Some may even think that Krampus is doing the world a favor because the kids were bad. On the other hand, some movie villains are a lot worse because they pray on innocent children. Some of the children were even good! What really makes a villain evil? We think that the villains that attack innocent kids, who were good most of the year (if not all), are the real baddies.

Not that we’re trying to defend Krampus, but other villains deserve to be higher on the “evil” scale. From Home Alone to Santa Clause, these are 10 Christmas movie villains that are far more evil than Krampus can be. In all honesty, Krampus may even aspire to be like some of these ultra-bad characters.

Marv and Harry (Home Alone)

Marv and Harry (Home Alone)

Home Alone is without a doubt an all-time-favorite Christmas movie, and a huge reason for that is Marv and Harry. These two buffoons are constantly outsmarted by Kevin, but by god, do they keep trying. Even though these two aren’t the smartest, they’re still evil. Who goes after a kid?!

Miles "The Angry Elf" Finch (Elf)

Miles "The Angry Elf" Finch (Elf)

Miles would come across the table if he knew his title in this slideshow was “the angry elf,” but he earned it because this dude has no chill. We're totally on Buddy’s side here, even though he was a little politically incorrect in asking the "angry elf" if he borrowed a reindeer to get down here right in the middle of a meeting.

Stripe (Gremlins)

Stripe (Gremlins)

Stripe is so devilishly adorable. He’s the strongest, smartest, and deadliest gremlin in the first Gremlins movie. This little guy tied up Barney, the Peltzer’s family dog, in Christmas lights! Every dog lover will agree that this is the most heinous of his transgressions.

Professor Hinkle (Frosty the Snowman)

Professor Hinkle (Frosty the Snowman)

Not only is Professor Hinkle a terrible magician, but he’s also a selfish person. Who would take the magical hat and the literal life out of Frosty just to make a few bucks? He somewhat redeems himself at the end of the movie by apologizing to Frosty, but he only did it in hopes of receiving another magical hat from Santa.

Scut Farkas (A Christmas Story)

Scut Farkas (A Christmas Story)

If your name is Scut Farkas, you're just destined to be a bully. Scut loves to terrify and taunt the younger kids in the neighborhood, so he spent nearly all of his time in the movie lurking in the shadows, waiting to jump out and scare innocent passersby. Plus, his maniacal laughter just screams “budding villain.”

Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)

Ebenezer Scrooge (A Christmas Carol)

Scrooge is the most classic of the Christmas villains. He despises Christmas and anyone who has anything to do with it. Before he encounters the three ghosts of Christmas, he was one of the most cold-hearted, terrifying scrooges in all the land. “Bah humbug!” and his legacy will never fade.

The Grinch (How the Grinch Stole Christmas)

The Grinch (How the Grinch Stole Christmas)

Before his heart grew three sizes larger, the Grinch was a pretty cruel dude. He delighted in ruining Christmas for everyone in Whoville and nearly left Cindy Lou Who to die in a package sorter!

Jack Frost (The Santa Clause)

Jack Frost (The Santa Clause)

Jack Frost is one jealous dude. He is envious of Scott Calvin being Santa Claus, so he does everything he can to upstage him. His list of sins goes on and on, from freezing a volcano in Hawaii to sending geese north for winter!

Bumble (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Bumble (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Because this abominable snowman is so adorable, it’s easy to forget that he is the main villain in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. But he is. Let’s not forget that he knocked out Rudolph with a stalactite and then laughed at his unconscious body!

Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

Though Die Hard might not be a traditional Christmas movie, Hans Gruber is definitely the most sinister of the Christmas movie villains. He's a German terrorist who tries to overtake a company Christmas party. Scary!
