Join guest Maya Wyrmwood on this week's episode for a spine-tingling exploration of holiday horrors! We kick off with an epic bracket of beloved holiday horror films before diving deep into Christmas's darker origins. Discover the ancient folklore of the Wild Man, a primal figure dating back 50,000 years who evolved into famous Christmas monsters like Krampus. Learn about the pagan rituals, fairy sightings, and ghost stories that made the 12 nights of Christmas a time of both celebration and supernatural fear. From Celtic traditions of leaving offerings for ancestral spirits to the sinister origins of holly wreaths, we unwrap the forgotten dark traditions behind your favorite holiday customs. Whether you're a horror fan or folklore enthusiast, this episode reveals why Christmas was once considered the most haunted time of the year.
