Tonight at 9p
Grimm ends its winter run with a 2 great new episodes and both will leave you with nightmares.
If you grew up in NYC, then the first episode will have a special meaning for you. Remember when you were a kid and you heard that alligators lived in the sewers? Well tonight on Grimm they take on that myth and you will never want to go down into your local sewers ever again. Not that you ever wanted to in the first place, but after watching this urban legend come to life, you’ll be avoiding them like the plague.
Then at 10p Grimm gives new meaning to the naughty and nice list that Santa Claus keeps. When teenagers, who have been very naughty suddenly go missing, Nick (
David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) have to find out what happened to them. Turns out the legend of Krampus is true and they have to find the teens before it is too late. Will they be able to find where he has been hiding them before it is too late?
You will just have to tune in for two of hours of television that are absolutely perfect for Friday the 13th!
Now some of you may be saying that these episodes do not focus on stories that are part of the Grimm Fairytales and you would be right. Earlier this week I was on a conference call with the show’s star, David Giuntoli, and he talked about that. He explained that as the show and his character, Nick, grow “that some of these other phenomena that take place in the world haven’t yet been added to the book of fairy tales, but they are being added by Nick now.” Then he added, “So we are taking other myths and folklore and otherwise just kind of stories that have been told and putting the little Grimm spin behind them now, so I enjoy that.” He concluded that thought by saying that he likes it and I have to add that we the viewers agree with him. Seeing the scary bedtime stories we grew up with come to life on the small screen, terrifies us but we also enjoy felling that fear all over again.
And here are two little facts about tonight’s episode that he shared with us. They actually filmed part of the first episode in a sewer under Portland. When it comes to the second episode, when Giuntoli saw Derek Mears in his full Krampus makeup, he was actually frightened by him. So if an actor can be afraid of another actor, then you know that the episode is going to be scary good. So tune in or the Grimm will get you!
