Ep 52: Krampus
Happy Holidays from Legend Podcast!
To get everyone in the mood for the holidays we discuss the Legend of Krampus for our 52nd episode. Besides being one of Samm’s very favorite movies, he is literally from Hel. You may think he’s scary, but the people who pretend to be him may be worse. Listen in as Samm tells Amy the history and the fear that comes with Germany’s other Christmastime guy.
