Awesome or scary? The Christmas devil parade of Krampuslauf

December 13, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Who is Krampus?. The short answer is that Krampus is the other side of the coin to Santa Claus. Krampus punishes wicked children in the same way Santa rewards good ones.

Krampus is mainly still talked about in Austria, Slovenia and Croatia but on Krampusnacht in Germany they dress up as the demon.

This video is from Krampusaluf Graz, in Austria, last year and it is in equal measures awesome and scary.
