Howdy there, Scream Freaks! The temperature’s dropping, people’s home’s are becoming Vegas eye sores, and everyone’s radio’s looping the same old songs over and over again . . .Yup. It’s Christmas. The most annoying time of the year. Happy Elves. Happy Children. Happy Santas and Snowmen. Ugh. It’s like bein’ smothered under a warm blanket of smiles. Which is why I was so thrilled to have learned about the Krampus. A creature of lore that brings some real excitement and jeopardy to the holidays other than Santa completing his route. Yessir, I’m not sure where Krampus has been all this time since he’s from the old country, but more and more people are bringing him to the forefront of the Yuletide season like a black sheep of holiday mascots. The last few years he’s had his own comic book, independent movie (“Night of the Krampus”), and has even popped up on episodes of Venture Bros., Family Guy, Scooby-Doo. This keeps up, he’ll be a permanent shadow to Saint Nick and give all the naughty children a punishment worse than coal in their stockings!
To celebrate Krampus, we added a new Screaming Soup! Merry Krampus Eeeh!-Card to the site’s Extra section. Spread the joy of punishing brats this Christmas, and share the hottest Christmas card that’ll be sure to have your friends and family talking! When’s the last time anyone wanted to discuss your relative’s card of their dogs in ugly sweaters?
In other news, we’re still working hard to bring you a packed 2nd season full of funny reviews and treats with a special gift for you Scream Freaks planned for Christmas Eve. We’re currently preparing the latest entry to our new Graphic Headstone Blog which we’re excited about, and looking forward to producing an online comic we’ve been developing in our spare time.
