I love the concept of the Krampus, a demon which goes around with Father Christmas to punish rotten kids. In this day and age especially I wish it were still a widespread tradition!
So, I decided to show my love of the figure through this song! Hope you like it!
What a beautiful singing voice! :P Haven't heard the story of the Krampus before, but it definately has some more kick to it than that thing about a lump of coal! Nicely animated and entertaining, and not too short either, it managed to get me in a pretty good Christmas spirit. Keep it going!

Oh you should look into him, he's really interesting. I prefer to think of him as a necessary spirit than a malevolent one, but a lot of stories make him out to be evil. To be honest, American Dad did a really great episode about it last year at Christmas, you should try and watch it!
Well-animated, the story is a bit too straightforward for my taste, maybe you could add some freakishness next time.
Anyway, still a good flashmovie, and is it just me or does Arnold Schwarzenegger sing this christmas song?! O.o
Honestly I wanted to do this in stop motion to add to the freaky factor, but time/budget/space issues stopped me. Maybe I'll redo it or make a sequel another year.
And that's funny you mention the voice. I was trying to sing it straightforward but it was missing something. I tried so many other voices and couldn't get it right. Then, in the shower, I started singing like Arnold and it hit me like a ton of fruitcakes!
Animation is good
