Red Christmas (comic story): Difference between revisions

The Eleventh Doctor (in a jingling festive hat), takes [[Amy Pond]] to [[Hollograd]] on [[Christmas|Christmas Day]] in [[1873]]. Expecting it to be like a fairy-tale Christmas scene, the village is instead covered in a red mist - a psychic fog that is separating the parents from their children. The psychic fog blocks the children (like Almos), from the minds of their parents until the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to clear away the fog with a bright light. In the light, those behind the fog are revealed as [[Krampus]] - creatures of folklore, who use the fog to create a fear and sadness (in this case from the feelings of losing a child at Christmas), on which they feed. The screwdriver doesn’t give light to keep the fog away and it creeps back until the Doctor returns to the TARDIS and switches on the roof light. The fog is dispersed, the parents are re-united with their children and the Krampus, unable to exist without sadness, fade away.
