Krampus (or as we call them Kramperl) parades are rather new in my region. In South-Eastern Styria they were let loose on 5th December and roamed the streets. They were super fearsome, especially aggressive and there was a special kind of dare kids' undertook (including me). We provoked Kramperl to attack us, then ran from them. Since our towns are medieval (over 800 years old), there are lots of dark alles and spooky places where you could hide from Kramperl, or be ambushed by them.

[@Mr.Plant_man]

Sounds fun

[@011219551]

Do you think it's because of the Krampus movie?

[@929er13]

@@011219551 i don't think the movie holds any weight in those areas

I wish we had this in the US.

[@YouRubs]

When we were young we kicked them and ran away like it it is the last thing we are doing. this was so scary and i still remember 30yrs later like it was yesterday. back in these days, these guys really hurt you. they were drunk and had no issue with giving you scars This has changed, but still the masks make you still think it is a beast and not a man.

[@xxhazmaticxx4398]

YouRubs I seriously remember when one guy had this hard hard stick broom thing and hit me. It was so hard that it gave me deep bruising inside and some out. They would also bang on our doors and never stopped.

I have seen this question asked here in the comment section, so for anyone wondering about the origin of the Krampus figure: I looked it up, and it dates back to pre-Christian pagan traditions of the Alpine region (so Austria, Switzerland, Bavaria in Southern Germany). "The character of the Krampus dates back to pre-Christian pagan traditions of the Alpine region. Quoting from the Wikipedia article I found on it (which I presume to be correct, it is properly sourced as far as I checked): "There seems to be little doubt as to his true identity for, in no other form is the full regalia of the Horned God of the Witches so well preserved. The birch - apart from its phallic significance - may have a connection with the initiation rites of certain witch-covens; rites which entailed binding and scourging as a form of mock-death. The chains could have been introduced in a Christian attempt to 'bind the Devil' but again they could be a remnant of pagan initiation rites."

[@jodiequeenofcelticfire2605]

there is in LA and in Phili

[@tubekulose]

But be aware that in the evening of the 5th of December they come and whip people with their birches really bad. Legally because of tradition ;-)

[@captaindiabetes7349]

Im from Austria and it should not be in the U.S because its an austrian tradition and should not be faked from U.S

[@Polyglot_English]

U. S. has antifa parades Basically the same thing.

[@averieknight3927]

Lol my mom took me to one of these paraids and it heckled back at the first one who came up to me and the second through sixth one who came up to me I stood perfectly still and gave them the " I'm not afraid of you and never will be and get away from me face" and the fourth and sixth one I jerked at them like " come at me bro" they patted my head...lol

[@rowanphillips3497]

We need these in America! I would definitely enjoy Christmas seasons a lot more!

This is the way to Krampus day IF you dare. I would like to see you there.

[@eskemerdobombom]

like .. .what kind of parade is this ?

[@leighversteege7636]

Krampus parades are not usually seen in Canada. Some communities/areas may have them, especially with those Canadians of German/Austrian/Bavarian/Viennese decent. However, where I live, in Canada, we don't have Krampus parades at all.

[@sarjenka]

Leigh Versteege seems logical, since it is an eastern European tradition ;))

[@geoseward]

I want to convert an existing large Halloween prop to Krampus. What exactly is the whip that all seem to carry in their hand and what is the significance?

[@sm0ggy]

The fabled Krampus would leave naughty children a bundle of birch twigs instead of a present from Father Christmas, or he would just hit the children with the twigs and take the children away.

[@geoseward]

@@sm0ggy thanks for the input

[@philkaseyewitness6912]

Ohhhh this would be soooo cool

[@alessandroiskaymaurer1517]

No, de hecho los cachos y los trajes siempre son hechos tradicionalmente de pieles y cachos de cabras ipex. Por eso son bastante costosos los trajes

[@XxReptilesGalorexX]

+smgy the uk & us will never see anything like this, to many religious nuts would go ballistic screaming that it's a parade for satan, plus there's no money in it so neither to Us president or parliament/the queen (not sure who decides what in the uk) would allow this.

[@MeYpyHD]

+DarkDenGaming I live in Czech Republic ( Next to Austria ) And after more than 15 - 20 years that tradition in Austria, those Devils arrived to Czech .. Tomorrow I'm going to see them for my firt time .. I'm so excited and a little bit scared, but whatever .. I hope It will going to get to the USA onetime, because I wanna live there!
