Krampus is Santa Claus' whip-toting Christmas sidekick. According to legend, Krampus joins Santa where he tends to the children on Santa's naughty list. No coal here though. Instead, Krampus whips and licks children into shape or carries them off in his sack.

  • Um my stepsis faved this and i wanted to see why she faved it..just curious. But i learned my lesson...ILL NEVER WATCH THIS CREEPY VIDEO AGAIN!

  • Damn voidmaid, I wish I was your grandpa in those days. I would've let grandma tell you the Krapus story and then put out your favourite candy in a dish telling you you couldn't have any. When you sneaked a piece I would pretend not to notice then go outside and dress as Krampus and bang on the door demanding to speak to you. When you came to the door I would tell you I would take you away at Christmas time and kill your grandparents if you didn't tell them what you did

  • I wanna be krampus for a day

  • You the licking of children sounds more like Santa is trying to make pedophile porn.

  • I'm a mixture of giggles and tears after watching this. When I was little my grandmother threatened me with the Krampus legend whenever she thought I was misbehaving while visiting her for the holidays. So on one hand this 'carol' reminds me of those precious Christmas family moments as a child, but on the other hand it reminds of the traumatic times I spent envisioning a child-abusing devil creeping through the snow-covered deciduous woodlands of rural Wisconsin.

  • To those complaining this is practically a story about Zwarte Piet, known in the Netherlands as "Black Peter". If this character was called and depicted as Zwarte Piet you'd probably be crying about racism. Get over it.

  • That was terrifying.

  • So for the next generation, we all tell our kids that there's a demonic buddy of Santa's that's hellbent on eating naughty children, agreed?

  • Well, I'm now scared of Germany.

  • lol
