The Webby Awards were surreal to say the least. Iām honored that my little monster show made the list of winners, and grateful to the team and the fans who helped me get here. Monsters matter. Public media matters.
I am so grateful for the talented folks @pbs and @pbsds . An incredible night to celebrate that felt more relevant and powerful than ever. Congratulations to the Webby Media Company of the Year. This PBS kid is still in awe I get to call yāall family.
My brother, who appeared in our award-winning episode, said I better have a good #5WordSpeech for the #webbys or I wonāt hear the end of it. Any ideas?
We did it! And itās all thanks to you! Monstrumās Hat Man/sleep paralysis demon episode won a Webby for How-To, Explainer, and DIY Video & Film. Iām so proud of our team, grateful to my brother for being on camera for this episode, and for the further proof that monsters have meaning. I better start working on that five-word speech! #thewebbyawards

Is AI becoming the next modern monster? š¤ For years weāve told stories warning us about what happens when humans try to play with artificial intelligence. Today, those fears may be becoming a reality. Are we now facing the monster we imagined? #monster #AI #halloween #scary

Lumberjacks fear them, but they ever see them. What it looks like, no one knows. Legends of the Hidebehind emerge in the 19th century but continue today. These monstrous animals lurk behind the tree trunks, never revealing their true form, until itās too late. It has an uncanny ability to shield itself from human view, but that doesnāt mean it isnāt there, silently stalking you through the treesā Art by @samuel_allan_illustrator
This constant droning sound canāt be heard by everyone. But for those who can, it creeps in at night when everyone else is quiet. Is it aliens? The Earth itself? @monstrumpbs host @dremilyzarka explores some theories.

Happy Krampusnacht! Krampusās historical origins are generally believed to have emerged onto the Yuletide scene in Slavic and Austrian celebrations. Winter festivals in the Alpine regions of Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Germany, and Italy all feature versions of this monstrous anti-Santa, though originally āKrampusā was really more of a category of monster rather than a single entity. Tied to centuries of masking tradition, and used to scare kids and adults alike, they dole out punishments to the naughty. Donāt let Krampusās switch get you! Art by @samuel_allan_illustrator
