On November 15th Amazon Studios is releasing the new holiday movie Red One that features Krampus! I’m thrilled anytime Krampus gets some mainstream spotlight. The premise is that Santa goes missing and Krampus took him. If you read my The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus and Other Yuletide Monsters book, then you know Santa and Krampus were never enemies, however, I get for the sake of the story St. Nick needs a nemesis. I can’t wait for the lively discussions this film will start. If Hollywood only knew about the myriad other monsters and ghosts lurking in December’s shadows they might have a whole movie franchise on their hands! Red One stars Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, J. K. Simmons, Nick Kroll, and Kristofer Hivju. It’s directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris Morgan, from an original story by Hiram Garcia. You can watch the trailer here:

Darkness Radio Presents: The Fright Before Christmas: Surviving Krampus & Other Yuletide Monsters with Researcher/Podcast Host/ Author, Jeff Belanger! Listen to the interview here: Christmas time is truly the darkest and creepiest time of the year filled with devilish creatures lurking in the shadows waiting to get us. Best known is the Krampus who has been the subject of films and songs. There was a time in the late 1800s when people sent Krampus cards, not holiday greetings. There are other violent and dangerous monsters from all over northern climes who have been hunting naughty children for centuries. From shapeshifters to mountain trolls, to elves, to heavy-handed cohorts of Saint Nicholas, the Christmas holiday has been filled with ghosts and monsters ready to dole out punishment to those who need it. The Fright Before Christmas delves into the folklore of Krampus and his friends with the elf-like Tomten and the goblinesque Karakoncolas. The Belsnickel is ready to hit us with his switch of sticks and Gryla may drag you back to her mountain lair. And watch out for the Yule Cat ready to pounce! These are just a few of the yuletide beasties coming for us in The Fright Before Christmas in the hope they can save us from ourselves. Jeff joins Darkness Radio today to tell us about these scary creatures, their history, our efforts to revive them, and why we need them more than ever right now!
