Episode description
We have our first guest this week with our good friend Austin Tatious bringing some stories of classic Christmas monsters from European folklore. He covers Krampus, Frau Perchta, and Belsnickel from Germany, then Père Fouettard (Father Whipper) from France, then heads over to Iceland for Gryla, the Yule Lads, and the Jólakötturinn (Yule Cat), then covers the Mari Lwyd from Wales, and rounds it out with the little world tree choppers, the Kallikantzaroi.
