Kallikantzaros (Christmas Monster)

I learn something new every day. Concretely, Monstrum has released a video about Kallikantzaros, a monster from Greece, associated with Christmas. Because Christmas can be spooky. And what a cool critter it is. Anyway, Kallikantzaros may be a mouthful(it took me a few tries to spell it and pronounce it), but this is our word of the day.

The old US TV series "Grimm" had a 2014 episode, The Grimm Who Stole Christmas, that featured the Kallikantzaroi. They also did a Krampus episode in 2013 called the Twelve Days Of Krampus. The Kallikantzaroi are most likely the inspiration for the Mogwai/Gremlins in the 1984 movie. Highly recommend this Youtube series, Macabre London, for all sorts of dark "Creepmas" folklore and tales: https://youtu.be/JqNuhavXlQ0
