Stumbled upon a couple of weird Christmas movies created by the guy who translated "Arsole Fantüme, Gentleman Immoralist" earlier this year. They feature a character called Stumpy Claus, a limbless figure of horror and menace who is kind of a cross between Santa Claus and Krampus-- he punishes bad kids so that they can receive their gifts, and he rewards good kids with-- well, he rewards good kids. He also has a mysterious man in a reindeer suit called Reindeer, and a chain-smoking elf who speaks in word balloons that pop out of her mouth and float away.
They are weird:
