UNLEASHING KRAMPUS: The dark heart of holiday folklore unveiled. Join me as I dive deep into the chilling world of Krampus, the nightmarish antithesis of Saint Nicholas. Forget the jingle bells and joy; it's time to confront the true terror of the holiday season.

In this video, I don't just rehash the well-known story of Krampus from the 2015 film.

From his menacing behavior to his spine-chilling appearance, I delve into every detail that makes Krampus a horror icon.

Moreover, I'll dissect the deeper meanings and cultural significance of Krampus comparing the cinematic portrayal of Krampus in the 2015 film with his traditional depictions in Central European folklore.
