301-Japanese Folklore: After Sundown

The story of a family and the monsters that hunt them. The twist? These are monsters that they might know better than they realize.

The creature is snow snake! It's a snake that lives in the snow, and if you're thinking, "that's ridiculous, snakes are cold blooded!" Well, while you were thinking about that it bit you and you died. Congrats.
