Movie start times are 10:30 a.m. for sorority pledges being hunted by demon-worshiping frat bros during Christmas break, 12:15 p.m. for a movie about Krampus himself, 2 p.m. for a comedy about a con artist Santa, and 3:45 p.m for a thief who takes a dysfunctional family hostage and ends up acting as a referee.
