Welcome to HOB's Dark Christmas
Duration: December 1st - January 31st
You have to save Christmas by getting rid of the 10 Legendary Christmas Monsters. All the non-stop joy, mirth, mandatory parties, carols, cards, tinsel and holly can make the holidays unbearably irritating. So if you’re in the mood for a little menace this Yuletide, put away your copy of The Night Before Christmas and join us for some nightmares before Christmas (and we don’t mean the Tim Burton stop-motion musical) — a list of 12 Christmas monsters! Between cannibalistic witches, goat demons and ritualistic child murderers, you’re sure to get a fright from them. Most of them come from old European myths and fairy tales that pre-date the Christian holiday, but some appear in more modern Christmas stories from pop-culture.
A fair warning for the faint of heart: These tales and images might scare the hell out of you; so if you’re sensitive to violence or squeamish at all, you might want to stick to some of our other Christmas stories!
