10 Memes About The Scary And Interesting 'Krampus'

Krampus Day passed earlier this month, so now, Krampus is said to be out looking for naughty children before the holidays. Many of us aren't particularly familiar with Krampus since we didn't grow up in a society where we were meant to dread evil Santa Claus every year.

To explain, Krampus is basically the anti-Santa in some European regions. He's a horned monster who kidnaps evil children in December, tosses them in a sack and drags them away to his cave. Charming, right? It's certainly one of the best holiday traditions out there.

Apparently, Christmas has a very different meaning depending on whether or not you live in a pro-Krampus region. If you're a kid, hopefully you don't spend your Christmas every year sheltering in place from this guy. We're here to tell you that you're safe. Probably. While you await Krampus's inevitable return, we've gathered some of the best new Krampus memes and imagery from this year's "Krampus Day" and more.
