You may ask yourself, “What is this horrible, horned thing? Isn’t it supposed to be the warm and fluffy holiday season?” Allow us to explain. Here at Wintercroft, we love mythologies and mythical creatures, so we are devilishly delighted to bring you Steve’s version of the legendary Krampus in vivid No Poly. Lock up the children, break out the brandy and bask in the malevolence of our latest design.

For those who are unaware, the Krampus is a Northern European folklore legend. Basically, he is the horned and hooved henchman of St. Nick. Yes, behind the beardy chuckles and rosy cheeks, Santa keeps some sinister company. It is said that on December 5th, the naughtiest of naughty children are taken in a basket by the fork-tongued demon. Parents can try to ply the beast with brandy, but beware the bleating and hearken to the rattling of jangling bells on rusty chains.

 

Krampusnacht

By Fletcher Stewart

 

Twenty moons before Christmas, in a blacked out old house
The final squeak echoed from a dying old mouse
The brandy glass clattered on the old silver tray
Set out in offering, to send horned one away
 
The children lay silent, shivering in bed
Cold sweat and tears crystallised on their heads
Mum sat up knitting in nerve-jitter trance
While I poked at the flames in their last dying dance
 
Just as the last of the wood gave a crackle
The fire snuffed out from a soul-freezing cackle
I went to the window reluctant and fearful
And saw silhouettes that slayed all thoughts cheerful
 
The twisted old trees seemed to grab at the moon
While horned and hunched something loomed in the gloom
Hot breath like death clouds methodically pumped
Then with a grunt and a sprunt the thing jumped
 
With a gasp of sheer terror, I turned to my wife
Rocking faster face-frozen, like a doll without life
I saw little things skitter out on the lawn
It was then that I knew we would never see dawn
 
I fled toward the attic where the children lay wake
And heard something huge that made my bones quake
The clopping of hind legs, hooves cracking shingles
A hacking from Hades that made my spine tingle
 
The chimney breast wheezed mortar dust from the banging
When down dropped the chains and the hooks all a-hanging
Down came the hooves crushing hearth like an anchor
Out puffed a pungence of hideous rancour.
 
Then came the claws with nightmarish clacking
Feeling the floor spider-like in their tapping
It was then that the beast revealed hideous form
It was dressed all in dead things all rotting and torn
 
Rank rancid clouds plumed out from its gizzard
Sniffing young ones with forked tongue fit for a lizard
Yellow eyes burned, spying something delicious
Arms reached out branchlike macabre and malicious
 
It loped toward the kids, snatched them up like a ladle
Savouring screams in its devilish cradle
It grunted with glee, eyes and teeth all-a-flicker
As it stuffed the children into their prison of wicker
 
I begged, and I pleaded “please give them a chance!”
It clopped and it bleated in sinister dance
It burst through the window with its terrible yield
And bounced basked in moonlight through ash-laden fields
 
The events of that night will poison me ever
Every 5th of December comes unholy weather
The snow falls grey and the crows all flock
To torment my soul on the black Krampusnacht.

What Our Customers Are Saying

FAQs

Will you ship this mask to me?

For the majority of our masks (including this one), you won’t receive a physical item in the mail; it’s a digital download. Once your payment is complete, you’ll get an instant PDF download link via email so you can print and build it yourself at home.

How do I download and print the mask?

After purchase, click the download link in the confirmation email to save the PDF to your computer. Then open it in a PDF reader (e.g., Adobe Reader) and print on paper or card of your choice (A4 or US Letter Paper). You can then glue your templates to thicker card, cut out, score, and assemble your mask using the included instructions.

What materials do I need to build the mask?

You’ll need a home printer, A4 or US Letter paper, card (approx. 300 gsm cardboard is recommended), scissors or a craft knife, and tape or glue. No special skills are required; the template is designed to be easy and fun to assemble.

Will the mask fit an adult or a child?

Masks are scaled to fit an average adult head, but you can scale the print down (e.g., ~85–90%) to make versions that fit children. You may need to experiment based on head size.

Can I share, sell, or use these templates or masks commercially?

Awesome horn skull mask - worth the work!

We made this mask for Halloween for my oldest son, and attached el-wire. It looked so great, and he got so many compliments. The horns were a bit tricky. We painted them with primer and then acrylic paint, and it looked awesome. I'm kind of addicted to making these masks now!

Laura

Super satisfied

I was looking for a specific type of mask. I wanted to make a skull mask. But I couldn’t find something that would fit (and also in my budget) until I found Wintercroft! I 100% recommend it because the instructions are easy to follow and the results are great! No regret for me, I will search on the Wintercroft website for my future projects.

Hedwig mask

Our son wore this to school as Hedwig from Harry Potter for Book Week. As he walked into the playground, three boys who had been talking stopped, all looked at him, and one said: 'Now THAT's cool'. Anyone who asked him about it, he directed them to your website. All in all, a great response!

What a great resource

This mask was a lifesaver. It's Book Week, and your child wants to go as a dragon. I was already imagining trying to bend a bunch of papier-mache to my will when I came across this site. Not technically difficult, if you can use scissors and sticky tape, and you've got a little time up your sleeve, you can get a good result.

Carolyn

These masks are SO MUCH FUN


Having tried several different vendors for this type of project, Wintercroft is THE BEST. They are well designed, user-friendly, and just spectacular when finished. The school I work for is doing a production of The Lion King by middle school students, and with a tight budget, these masks have been an incredible, creative, and unique solution for the production.

I shall be very late

It was pretty fun to make! I really like the sophisticated minimal design. Wasn't the first purchase on this site and definitely not the last.

fantastic!!

The instructions are super easy, like putting LEGO together. I was able to decorate the mask with faux fur, and it looks so good!!!
