He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good, and if you're bad, you get whipped with chains and dragged to hell? This week, Katie and Allison talk about the folklore behind Santa's fallen sidekick, Krampus and the traditions of Krampusnacht. Also just as a bonus: an awful retelling of the 2015 movie Krampus.

Picture this, it’s a Friday night, you’re about to watch a movie cuddled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, and suddenly, you hear a knock at the door, you go to see who it is, and you’re greeted with the sight of two little kids who appear lost. They ask to use your phone, and you almost let them. But a chill runs up your spine, and you feel a sense of dread permeating the air. The kid’s can sense your unease, and as they look up at you for their answer, your blood runs cold as you notice that these children are anything but normal. This week, Allison and Katie discuss an Urban Legend of sorts, Black Eyed Children.
