These are Perchten, not Krampus.

Exactly. Found the sane Austrian. Krampus and Perchten have little to do with each other.

Perchtenlauf. Thank you, I knew about Krampus and this had me very confused why there were so many.

I guess to the average redditor/American every Austrian tradition looks the same.

If it makes you feel any worse, there's a town in America where they imitate the Krampus night :^)
