Transcript
00:00You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I am telling you why.
00:12Because Krampus will drag you to hell in his basket and eat you.
00:16The Yuletide tradition of Krampus began in the Alpine region of Europe.
00:21December 6th is the feast day of St. Nicholas.
00:24The night before, as St. Nicholas delivers gifts to the good children, his companion
00:29cohort Krampus delivers lumps of coal, fear and punishment to the naughty.
00:34His chains represent his defeat by and submission to the Christian church.
00:40He beats the wicked with his bundle of birch branches.
00:43His basket is to kidnap the children for further punishment.
00:47This card art flourished in the 19th century.
00:51Grubvom Krampus translates as Greetings from Krampus.
00:56The function of Krampus was to frighten children into being good.
01:00But adult women are often depicted with a hairy, scary, satanic satyr in erotic situations.
01:07Females can be Krampus.
01:09Despite attempts to eradicate pagan Krampus, he is celebrated throughout Germanic regions
01:14and by an ever-growing worldwide revival.
