Krampusnacht (cramp-us-knockt) is a holiday celebrated by many Satanists and non-Satanists on December 5th.

It is a night for people to have fun with friends, dress up in costumes, and enjoy festivals and parades.

Think of it like Halloween in December! Instead of trick-or-treating, people dress up as Krampus and other silly or spooky creatures.

Who is Krampus? 👹

Krampus is a creature from European folklore.

In old stories, Krampus is often described as a scary creature who visits children who misbehave. He is sometimes described as the opposite of Santa Claus, who brings presents to children.

Don't worry! Krampus is not real!

Today, people can dress up as Krampus just like they dress up as other characters for Halloween. Krampus festivals can include costumes, music, dancing, parades, and lots of fun.

Is Krampusnacht about hurting people?

No! Not at all!

Some people misunderstand Krampusnacht because Krampus looks scary in old stories. But now, Krampus celebrations are about costumes, folklore, festivals, and having fun.

People can enjoy a spooky character without actually wanting to hurt anyone. Krampusnacht teaches us that sometimes scary-looking characters can be part of fun stories and traditions.

You can enjoy spooky costumes without being afraid of them!
