Forget cozy Coca-Cola Santas, this is the original dark side of Christmas.
In this episode, we dive into the terrifying folklore of Krampus, the horned Christmas demon of the Alps who beats bad children with birch rods, stuffs them in sacks, and drags them off into the winter night. We trace his roots back to the brutal midwinter Rauhnächte, the terrifying goddess Perchta and her Perchten, and the way the Church shackled these pagan spirits to Saint Nicholas to create the ultimate good cop / bad cop duo.
