Summary

It’s a bonus Christmas episode for everyone! We hear the story of the frightening Christmas wild man, Hans Trapp - an evil cannibal who disguised himself as a scarecrow to fall upon his unsuspecting victims. Then, we hear the story of the real “black knight” whose life story inspired the Hans Trapp folklore. Next, Riverbend Comics stop by to talk about Black Eyed Kids, Bunnyman, and more.
