Happy Halloween Month!
Happy Halloween!

For some of you this may be premature. But for old Xemnu, Halloween is a month-long celebration of ghouls, ghosties and creepy-crawlies that slither, slink and go bump at the witching hour.
Last year I posted the 5 Days of Halloween, a series of Halloween and horror-related bloggings. This month I thought I'd do something a little different leading up to this years' 5 Days' and sprinkle a few terror-laced candy nuggets throughout the month.
So sit back, relax and wait for the chills thrillseekers! There will be blood!

Now, to get your blood pumping...heh heh heh...a Grim Fairy Tale from the December, 1953 issue of Tales from the Crypt. Looks can be deceiving, especially for...The Sleeping Beauty!

Krampus
Today, my children, is December 5th. Now, I know many of you are busy shopping for Christmas, hanging ornaments on the tree and decorating for the big day on the 25th. However...beware. If you haven't been a good boy or girl this year, tonight is the Night of Krampus.
And who, you ask, is Krampus? Glad you asked.
He's the cloven-hoofed, goat-horned demonic creature accompanying St. Nicholas during the Christmas season. His purpose: to scare the living crap out of children everywhere! Particulary Austria, Sweden and parts of Germany.
And he's pretty damn scary-looking.
Some Krampus links for your pleasure. Or not. It's up to you.

Krampus traditionally accompanies St. Nicholas to the homes of naughty boys and girls, scaring the holy sh!t out of them.
The tradition of young boys dressing in Krampus-gear and running through the villages is so popular it spawned several yearly festivals and events. Noticeably the festivities focus mainly on consuming large quantities of beer or other alcohol, with fear and mayhem a distant second. Sounds like fun!
But for tonight...lock your doors, turn out the lights and be very, very quiet...Krampus is coming!
