Let It Snow

Hexeglaawe: Belsnickel

In the wake of popular American interest in European Krampus traditions, few Pennsylvanians are aware that the commonwealth is the New World point of origin of an equally legendary and fearsome figure known to the Pennsylvania Dutch as the Belsnickel.

Although interpretations of the Belsnickel have varied considerably throughout Pennsylvania, many Berks County families remember a time when the tap-tap-tapping of the Belsnickel’s birch switches against the window was a foreshadowing to the children of what was to come. Clad in furs, smeared in soot, and waving a bundle of birch switches, the Belsnickel served as both bearer of gifts and the agent of punishment in the Pennsylvania Dutch Christmas tradition. The Belsnickel typically was masked and dressed in patched and tattered clothes, sometimes carrying a whip or crowned with horns.

The Creep

When you mention to your friend that you bought a new fog machine, and they suggest an inside test run with adjacent photo shoot...  preferably a photo shoot featuring glowing eyes.

Thanks again, Wren!  A fine idea.  And the fog machine works like a dream.

The Strawman

Trailer: The Empty Man

I heard nothing but bad things about The Empty Man, but I always loved the Beksiński-like creature featured in the film's trailer.  I was looking for images of it online tonight and ended up watching Chris Stuckmann's review of the film, and now I'm VERY curious about the movie, as he is quite the fan of it.  Just added this one to my watch list.
