Ep. 8: A Not So Merry Krampus Christmas

We can't believe it's almost Christmas, so in the spirit of the season, we've decided to scare the hell out of you (or into you!) This week, Elise takes us past the peaks of the jagged Eastern Alps and into valleys full of tradition and intrigue. We'll dig deep into the history of Krampus and his band of spooky specters, all while St. Nicholas and his weeping bones stand by to make sure we're being nice, not naughty. For the latter, Krampus is ready with his whips and chains to drag us straight to hell, where all bad children go. Krampus isn't the only ghoul around on Christmas - we'll uncover the Perchten, Bloody Thomas, Wild Barbaras and even Werewolves. In the spirit of tradition, we'll imbibe with pink festive drinks from Elise's past and enjoy a delicious chocolate chip cookie dough cake straight from our Easy Bake Oven. If you're searching for the spooky side of this cheerful holiday, this is the episode for you. Happy Haunting!
