  • Trailer: Krampus
    Nov 26 2024

    Holiday season is here, Folktownies, but that doesn’t always mean cheer and good tidings.

    Coming December 3rd, we’re leaving the lights and laughter of Christmas behind, and taking you into the snow-covered mountains where something much more sinister resides.

    In our special holiday episode, we conjure a creature as old as winter itself, with hooves that echo through the trees and chains that rattle in the night.

    So, Folktownies, wrap yourself tight and keep the fire burning. Because we’re peeling back the legend of Krampus—Christmas’s dark visitor. Listen on December 3rd… if you dare.
