Night of the Krampus Teaser

Fighting Owl Films has released a teaser for their up coming film Night of the Krampus. Here is the official synopsis from the web site.

The holiday-themed short film delves into the mythology of Krampus, a legendary creature said to travel with Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. While Santa rewards the good girls and boys of the world, Krampus punishes the naughty. But that’s just a myth…or is it? When the naughty kids of a suburban neighborhood begin vanishing in the weeks leading up to Christmas, all evidence points to the creature's existence. It’s up to supernatural investigators Rue Morgan, Claire Rennfield and Herbie West to solve the mystery, save the children and face-off against the deadly Krampus.

Rue, Claire and Herb were featured characters in The Night Shift. Night of the Krampus serves as their exciting new adventure!

Psycho Santa

Here is an odd one for everybody. Last October I was looking for information on Jack Kittel's Psycho and stumbled onto a Christmas version. This is not done by Kittel in fact I can not find any info on it any where. I was able to track down the song for you listing pleasure.




And just a quick re-post for ya "We Wish You A Zombie Christmas"

The Master of Horror tells a tail Happy Creepmas.

 
The Christmas Carol
1949 | B&W | 25 Minutes | 1:33:1 | G | Holiday | Mono | Teletec

Director: Arthur Pierson

Writers: Charles Dickens

Stars:
Vincent Price
Taylor Holmes
Patrick Whyte

On the Last day of Creepmas The Master of Horror gave to me the best Christmas Ghost story. Vincent Price hosts this short TV adaptation of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" Staring Taylor Holmes as Ebeneezer Scrooge. Patrick White as Bob Cratchit and Earl Lee as the Ghost of Jacob Marley.

This is believed to be Price's first TV appearance. I was lucky enough to spot this little gem for a dollar on black Friday at Target. Could not wait to give this disc a spin. I was pleasantly surprised with this short film. It was a simple and to the point a cliff note version if you will. Very well paced and acted. Price as always was very fantastic. He played the role straight with a smile yet creepy in the way he narrated this beloved ghost story.

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge’s name was good upon ‘Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Make sure to stop back on Christmas for one more Creepmas surprise. Also visit all the other creepers this Creepmas season. I give A Christmas Carol

Tarantula

1955 | B&W | 80 Minutes | 1:37:1 | NR | Horror | Mono | Universal Pictures

Jack Arnold

In the Arizona desert, Professor Gerald Deemer is experimenting with growth hormones in the hopes of finding a way to increase the world's food supply. His partner in the project was recently found dead in the desert, suffering from a disease that normally takes years to advance but in his case seems to have afflicted him in only a few days. The local doctor, Matt Hastings, is puzzled by the strange case and with Deemer's recently arrived - and very pretty - assistant Stephanie Clayton tries to figure out what is going on. When cattle remains are found in the countryside, the evidence points to a giant tarantula as the culprit.

For the tarantula an actual live spider was used. Blast's from air jets were used to make it move in the desired way over a miniature landscape. In the movie Prof Deemer predicts that by the year 2000 the human population will be 3.6 billion in fact it was almost double that. And of course keep your eyes posted for the young Clint Eastwood making his film debut. 

No Credit Clint Eastwood.

Creepy Kofy For Creepmas

Horror hosts from California are No Name, a local radio personality, and Balrok, a demon, who claim to broadcast from caves under the KOFY studios. They have a snarky frat-boy style and have had many off-color guests, including frequent guest adult film actress Annie Cruz. The broadcast features in-house band the Deadlies, a surf/punk band and the hosts are often flanked during the broadcast by a variety of bikini clad models/actresses/fans. As of the third season, the show added two regular go-go dancers known as the Cave Girls whom often perform with the Deadlies. Being a fan of Horror Host's I sure with you this fine Creepmas Day "Don't Open Till Christmas". Originally aired 12/24/1211

Day Of The Dead and Christmas Poop

Creepy Christmas Traditions.

Christmas Dinner For Zombies

In Portugal the dead are respected at Christmas and extra places are even laid out for the dead as Christmas dinner, the plates are also filled as a gift to the dead and they believe that by welcoming these souls that their own new year will be happy and blessed.

Kallikantzaroi

In Greece to guard against evil spirits called Kallikantzaroi that live deep underground, some traditional families will hang a pig jaw inside the chimney to keep the evil spirits from descending into their homes.

The Caganer

Look at the traditional nativity display of homes around Catalonia, Spain and you might find a strange and somewhat out of place character in the middle of all the familiar figures. The Caganer, a statuette of a man in the act of defacation, is a controversial yet traditional piece featured in most families’ nativity scenes!

In and around Spain, a nativity display is usually set in a traditional Catalan farmhouse called masia, the scene interspersing mundane activities in the eighteenth century with events depicted in the Bible. A woman washing clothes by the river and shepherds heading toward the manger are a typical combination. The Caganer is usually in a place tucked into a corner, or hidden in the outskirts of the scene, far away from the manger where Jesus is supposed to be held.

The origins of the Caganer are lost, but most believe that the tradition started in the eighteenth century, with figures changing to modern recognizable personalities over time. It is seen as a symbol of prosperity in that it shows a figure fertilizing the earth. This tradition steeped in humor also led to an ingenious practice wherein children are asked to look for the Caganer in the nativity scene for a reward.

Mischievous as it might seem, the Caganer is one figure in Spanish nativity scenes that is sure to be a conversation starter.

Tio the Christmas Log

Traditionally the log is placed in the fireplace on Christmas morning and ordered to poop out its various treats, like nuts and dried fruit, which is pretty much the worst risk vs. reward ratio possible.

No, seriously. That's not tricky wording or overstating on our part. You beat the log until it voids its bowels, and then you pick up and cherish its fecal matter.


Here are some actual lyrics to the Tio de Nadal song. All together now!

Poop Log, poop turron

Hazelnuts and cottage cheese.

If you don't poop well,

I'll hit you with a stick,

Poop Log.
