videosearch?hl=en&q=Krampus%20runs&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv# and for a recent<br />

video clip from Pongau, Saltzburg, showing the variety of masks employed and the<br />

remarkable similarity between the Krampus performers and the Sardinian Mamuthones, cf.<br />

http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.film.o/o189a, the wide variety of videos at http://<br />

www.brauchtumspflegeverein-anras.com/content/view/25/50/, as well as these pictorial<br />

representations of the Krampus: http://www.galavant.com/krampus/. The regional variation of<br />

the costumes and masks is noteworthy, while performers dressed in straw with blackened faces<br />

also are commonplace, e. g., the St. Nikolaus day characters called Perschtln in the Austrian Tirol.
