Welcome, dear listeners, to a festive episode of "Anthology of Horror," where we unwrap the shadows and explore the eerie tales that lurk beneath the twinkling lights of old-timey Christmas traditions. Tonight's chilling narrative, crafted by the masterful Rick Wood, takes us on a journey through family traditions, the birth of new rituals, and the haunting presence of the legendary Krampus.

As we delve into the heart of the episode, you'll be transported to a bygone era, where Christmas was not just a season but a tapestry woven with age-old customs. Discover the tales of yuletide celebrations from a time when the air was filled with both merriment and an underlying sense of the supernatural.

Rick Wood's narrative expertly intertwines the warmth of family gatherings with the cold breath of ancient folklore. Follow the characters as they navigate the twists and turns of their own family traditions, each steeped in history and mystery. But beware, for as the festive lights flicker, a darker presence emerges—the infamous Krampus. With claws and chains, this creature of the shadows embodies the darker side of the season, reminding us that not all who visit during the holidays come bearing gifts.

Throughout the episode, the interlude music, a haunting rendition of "Carol of the Bells" by Mykola Leontovych and played by  Spring Heeled Jack, adds a layer of atmospheric tension, enhancing the eerie ambiance of the storytelling.

As we bid you adieu, we leave you with a closing song that resonates with the spirit of rebellion against the conventional cheer. "This Christmas (I'll Burn It to the Ground)" by Set It Off captures the rebellious essence of those who find solace in the shadows, making it the perfect soundtrack to accompany you as you reflect on the spectral tales of this holiday-themed episode.

So, dear listeners, as you let the echoes of tonight's episode linger in the recesses of your imagination, we wish you a chilling Christmas filled with the warmth of tradition, the thrill of the unknown, and a touch of rebellion against the ordinary. Until next time, may your holidays be both merry and mysterious.
