Just a fun-loving German take on a holiday of goodwill and peace...although the spanking part does sound intriguing, especially to young women in a Monty Python movie.
According to legend, Krampus accompanies St.Nick (aka, Sinterklaus) on his rounds. Good little children get treats, but bad little chidren get taken away by Krampus in his basket to be thrown into the fire with the kindling. Perhaps the origin of the phrase "to Hell in a handbasket."
Alien8- Yeah, it was what I was thinking about too.
Why hasn't there been a videogame or movie about Santa Claus getting into a suit of black armor to battle the Krampus and save the good little boys and girls. I would play it, and watch it. It would be a family tradition to play that game.
There's no video game, but there is always the movie "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Another holiday classic is "Santa vs. Satan" made in Mexico in 1959 and available dubbed in English on YouTube.
Last Christmas, Mrs. PB bought Santa and the Martians, at the 99 Cents Only store. I think she was overcharged by at least $5. Eye bleach and leather restraints could not force me to sit through that "movie" again.
Saw 'em warming up for Lordi in Trondheim. Helluva show.

This could explain a great deal of 20th century history.

No, no, no. Common mistake. Those are the out of town relatives coming to stay for the week.

Fine... He goes around scaring kids and spanking women and is a holiday hero. I do that and I get a restraining order. Not fair.

I can't wait to see that version in clay-mation!

Is this the part where we're s'posed to turn the other cheek?
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 16, 2008 at 10:57 AM
p.s. I wonder if O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, Beck and all of the "War on Xmas" crusaders realize that Santa has an evil side?
Posted by: Clown Puppy | December 16, 2008 at 11:02 AM
This puts me in the mood for some Krampus Karols.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | December 16, 2008 at 11:17 AM
Is it just me, or does he resemble a Fyarl demon?
Yes, I've watched way too much Buffy.
Posted by: wingpup | December 16, 2008 at 11:25 AM
I know there's a "big man on krampus" joke in here somewhere.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 16, 2008 at 12:08 PM
I saw Marilyn Manson and several blokes from Warcraft. Perhaps they're just out Christmas shopping like everyone else.
What a lovely holiday tradition. About a week before Christmas, our mom would turn into one of these.

I saw the Mystery Science Theater 3000 take of Santa and the Martians. In fact, I think I will watch it again tonight.
Thanks!
I think..
