Join us this week as we dive into the chilling folklore of Krampus, a mythical creature that adds a touch of darkness to the festive season. Originating from Alpine traditions, Krampus is the enigmatic counterpart to jolly old St. Nicholas. This horned, half-goat, half-demon figure is not here to spread cheer; instead, he's the punisher of ill behaved children. In this episode we will discover how this once-forbidden character is reclaiming the spotlight, from Krampus-themed events to movies, captivating audiences with his uniquely dark charm.
