S7E17- "Hoofprints in the Snow" - Horror Hill

Published: Dec. 30, 2022, 1 a.m.

b"Hello, listeners, and welcome to Season 7, Episode 17 of Horror Hill. I\\u2019m your host, Erik Peabody, and we\\u2019re closing out the year with a fun little tale of old world magic. Something I\\u2019ve always enjoyed about folk myths and legends is how directly deities and demigods influence the lives of mortals. It takes a lot of the guess work out of living, don\\u2019t you think? If you\\u2019re doing something that your god doesn\\u2019t like, well, they might just come down and tell you so. Or fill your house with vipers or something.\\nThen again, it might not always simplify things. Take our story tonight, for example. Our unnamed narrator has been tasked by the witches of his village with finding their Yule Tree. This involves his venturing into the nearby sacred woods with an axe to find the one special tree that The Horned God will allow them to cut down. However, the benevolent Horned God is not the only being in the forest, and this one might not have our protagon ist\\u2019s best interests at heart.\\nOh, and I forgot to mention that today\\u2019s story features both Nick Goroff and Geoff Sturtevant. Nick and Geoff, thanks for making this one extra special.\\n\\nTo watch the podcast on YouTube: http://bit.ly/ChillingEntertainmentYT\\n\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/HorrorHillPodcast\\n\\n\\nIf you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!
