>>109145This krampus mask is more of an modern interpretation if you will, they got scarier and more "hollywood like" over time. The krampus clubs started to use pyrotechnic and light effects and they often pick up new horror trends for their masks. For example I saw something that looked pretty much like a white walker from game of thrones last year.
And I think we still have this tradition because Austria has a lot of remote valleys that were inaccessible during the winter. So there were no visitors from outside and they could practiced their traditions without interference.
Pic is a traditional mask
