An adaptation of a Swiss horror novella "The Black Spider" by author Jeremias Gotthelf (AKA Albert Bitzius), about a town with a knight problem, so they make a deal with a very suspicious man to help them in their time of need.

The creature is the Kanbari nyūdō, that creepy hairy guy watching you go to the bathroom on New Year's Eve.
