Day 24: The Snows of Terror

This week's psychological horror is Vasor, the main villain this week. He's a man who sets traps for the wolves in the snow, to protect the village around the area. He also finds helpless travellers around the mountains, and gives them some food and warmth. His story reaches a dark turn after Ian has left, leaving him alone with Barbara, at which point he becomes uncomfortable towards her, attempting to abuse her. There are hints that this is not the first time that this has happened, and that he willingly sends people off to their deaths, after receiving payment for the hospitality that he has given them. He is a monster, and yet the fact that he sets the traps for the wolves, and that he gives warmth and saves people's lives reminds us that sometimes we have to accept help from monsters, not without choice, but through neccessity.
