+Tommaker It has to be scary. But it's awesome. Hated it as a kid, love it now. It's just sad the last time a saw a Krampus or Perchte is like 15 years ago..
You don't know what you're talking about.This is not a Christmas shows, because this show is taking place at the time of advent, this has far deeper tradition than your commercial Halloween
This is totally AWESOME !!! I wish I could get over there one year hose participating and constructing their costumes and catch this. Beautiful culture and winter. My compliments to those participating and constructing their costumes as they are indeed some form of the most creative I've ever seen in my 63 years of life. Merry Christmas Austria !!!
Krampus are not on Christmas, they are on Saint Nicholas (Nikola) day (which is also in December). In Slovenia and Croatia (legend says) that they are coming because of bad and problematic kids. In my place, it is traditional to have a parade of Krampus once every year.😊 They are traditional part of an Croatian, Slovenian, Austrian... culture❤
YES! I'm from Slovenia and Kampus (or "Parkeljni" in Slovene) even walk around the villages on st. Nicholas eve. I wish to be one of them whn I'm older.
@@Gajci Well actualy, the closest to Santa Claus that we have in Austria is the Nikolaus, who shares a deep connection to the Krampus here, the christmas gift bringer is the Christkind
@@skyem00n59 learn english, "santa" is the english word for the german "Heiliger", also "Santa claus" is the english name for "Heiliger Nikolaus" btw, "santa" is a other form of the latin word "sancta" or the german word "sankt" what means nothing ealse than "Heilig"
This has nothing to do with metal. This is the closest to the actual christmas tradition you gonna get, it goes way back before jews and Christians even existed . Krampus is the son of helldr germanic godess of death and the hell. Lovely woman her son is even epicer. Cant wait to meet krampus in the afterlife.
Läufe mit Schnee in der Südsteiermark is ganz selten oder gibts schon nicht mehr... schade eigentlich🙁 mit Schnee is es noch schöner als jetzt schon🥺❄️❄️
My mom and I want to go to Austria to see these parades!!! This would be awesome to do in the uk. Sadly, it wouldn't be appropriated as most would deem it too scary but I don't care this is so awesome and looms so fun and the costumes are phenomenal ❤️ 💖 ♥️
What many of you dont know is that Krampus is Santas companion. Well at least in folklore. And Christmas is actually a pagan holiday but made commercial by Christians.
hahah yesss, but this is actually a different fest! some european countries like the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, some parts of Belgium France and Spain, celebrate this, it’s called Saint Nickolas. it starts somewhere in november and ends on december 5th. children get pressnts throughout the whole fest so that is like 20 days! i hope i informed you about it since it’s really hard to understand haha
this is so cool, I love to see such different cultures represented on platforms like youtube. it really makes me think about how different the world it outside of my bedroom. you know, sometimes when I sit by myself in front of my computer I feel like the world is small. Like I can visit countries like Krampuslauf Graz 2010. But in reality, as in, in the real world, I cannot. I'm trapped behind a keyboard and a mouse(pad) that limits my ability to touch the fur of a Krampuslauf Graz 2010. I can't smell the breath of a Krampuslauf Graz 2010. Hold your mouth above me and breathe my kramp Open your eyes and gaze into mine, hold your breath, speak with soft words and uslauf Graz Think of me when you close your eyes. Embrace the hair of the dog without regard for 2010 - Enzo
European people (I'm English but include me and mine) do not listen to the lies that we have no culture no tradition the point is we have the most vibrant and alive which is why it's constantly attacked and attempted to water down. Yule, winter solstice, Christmas (if you must) is a festival of major importance to our ancestors and you must work hard to keep the real yule tradition alive in your children.
I wholeheartedly agree with you sir I am a true believer in Yule and I know its roots and respect them dearly. May you have a blessed Yule and mey Santa Odin be with you! 🎄🎅❄️☃️
Funny thing is the christians used this myth for their purpose. It's ancient. Older than the bible. If you ever come to the German/Austrian alps Check it out
So, we have this tradition amongst the Austro-German community here in southern Brazil, but here it is called Pelznickel. And the fantasies aren't that good but scaring children is always worthy hahaha
If this was done in the US- the customes would be half assed, all krampuses would be carrying a corporate banner and passing out pamphlets for loan refinancing , with a 30 min space between each section of the parade
543 people didn't like this video. I think they might be getting coal this Yule! LOL or worse...dragged off into the woods never to be seen again. muhahhaahaaaaa
I love just how much goes into this celebration. How much fun everyone seems to be having. As well those who are the Krampuses and the different types of the outfits while staying true to what Krampus looks like. You can scare kids and get away with it and at the same time just have fun cause no one will know who you are. My dad would be freaking out at this to which i torment him all the time as he grew up with off the boat German grandparents who spoke German 90 percent of the time and from what I can understand/figure out is that while he may not have heard of Krampus his grandparent may have used something along the lines of him to scare him. The only time i have ever seem him 'scared' in his own way as well as the movies where he will not watch with us.
They do, you fool!!!! Satan has so many schemes and devices to deceive you. The only thing you have in common with Satan is he both hates you and Jesus. Don't blame me for not warning you.
Did they actually ban Krampus? Do you have a Source for your claim? I couldn’t imagine that, since they wanted to preserve their culture. So the ban seems very wrong in place, unless the idea from Krampus is non-European.
Eine faszinierende Tradition, die sogar bis heute überlebt hat. Die Wüstenreligionen waren nie stark genug, all das kostbare Heidnische in Europa zu verdrängen und zu vernichten. Blessed be 🌛💛🌜 Mögen die Götter und Geister euch schützen!
Yep Christmas is now officially scarier than Halloween
Sci-Fi Weekly iTs ofFiciAl
Yea
@TheGreaterGood80 you mean Austrian all christmas is germanic it's baised off yule
I've made a similiar video about the Krampus of my city! Take a look if you want =)
This is boring if you know how it is in Osttirol, watch the Video "Krampus in Thurn" then you know whats scary
This is awesome. The falling snow adds to the dark, wintery atmosphere of the parade.
People who hate Christmas: “Ugh. I hate this time of year. It’s so cheery and saccharine.”
Austria: “Nah.”
THIS IS OT AUSTRIAN ITS A GERMAN TRADITION!
@@henrysimmons4939 It is Austrian and Bavarian and clearly not German
@@Makei-uz8mz They also do this in south Germany. I know this because I've been to one.
@@henrysimmons4939 Was it terrifying?
@@Pedro-nt2ro Kinda. Once you know its fake you get used to it.
This entire parade feels like a fever dream. I love it.
The Europeans know how to parade.
We trully do 😈
You bet we do
Those costumes are amazing!
yeah
I've made a similiar video about the Krampus of my city! Take a look if you want =)
Awesome, yes
Yeah pretty scary stuff
Who says there costumes
I love how a lot of adults seems scared but most of the kids are having the time of their lives. Kids love monsters.
Nah austrian kids just built different if that was me i would litteraly died right there

@@canuzzi Omg seriously? That is horrible. I feel with them. :( :( Why do they do such things? WTF is wrong with this world?
most of these krampuses are actually the dads of these kids so they aren't that scared because they know that it's just their father
@@Yazume That makes the kid being picked up by Krampus even cuter.
I need to go to Austria next Christmas
+Mark Oglesby NO you shoudn´t go that´s very scary I hat this time in Austria
+Tommaker It has to be scary. But it's awesome. Hated it as a kid, love it now. It's just sad the last time a saw a Krampus or Perchte is like 15 years ago..
EarthIs NotFlat
***** Da hast du recht
Tommaker Australia isin't that scary! Kangaroos are harmless! All I wonder is why is it snowing in this video if Australia is in the south...
Krampus is like a walking Beyond Scared Straight Holiday special
Their Christmas parades are more bad ass and evil than our Halloween parades.
Das ist richtig!

Austrian Christmas parades: demonic growling and drums
Yeah dont worry Austria soon will be islamic, so wont have none of that lol xD

in austria this is an old regional customs ! to keep away the bad side from the new year..
Santa Claus is the same as in America, this is just a diffrent holiday and not crithsmas.

I love how it’s actually snowing on their costumes making them look even more realistic…
The little kid who is not scared but seems rather pleased and excited @ 2:54?
Way cool.
Was soo cute was smiling as he was being picked up!!
He just had this look bye mom.. no fu**s given
You're of the devil just like Krampuslauf! Read the bible and be saved.
Reasons why I love Austria:
-Worldwide capital city of Classical Music.
-This.
The art work in all of the costumes are so good !
The real nightmare before Xmas. I had to say it's fascinating.
This is how one ends up looking when beeing stressed about not finding the perfect christmas gift for loved ones😂
That fact that actually looked this up, and watch it..
2:48 bye bye
😂😂
They were never seen again
This is the most METAL Christmas I ever seen!! I wish we had this in the United States
Agreed! I’m from Kentucky and tbh I wish we HAD THIS!
Totally! As an American, I'm envious. Lol

2:44 Krampus: your child is coming with me!!!
2:54 other Krampus: Your wife is coming with me!!! Shes mine now john!!!!!! 😈
Just seeing the faces on those little ones is priceless we need this parade in the USA wake some people up
No you ruin everything
I wish we could have this in the U.S.
We have this is fucking Brazil, so, everyone can hahaha
Yeah I wish it have in Canada 🇨🇦 and the USA 🇺🇸 that would be fun.
We do in some places. pittsburgh is closest for me.
L Loc yeah you right I should movie away but my I need to save enough money first becuase the airport are not cheap
