The term for a piece of media that unintentionally executes a major plot point (usually the finale) in a way that makes most audience members misinterpret the plot point as drastically differently from the way it canonically happens. Named for the 2015 film Krampus, which historically ends with the family getting a happy It's A Wonderful Life type 'it was all undone and is okay' happy ending, but is so badly visually executed on screen that almost everyone who views the film leaves convinced the family is trapped in a snowball in hell for all eternity. (Often, but not always, the interpreted major plot point or finale is drastically less satisfying than the canon one).
