If you still need a Krampus fix after attending the parade, don’t worry, a homespun San Antonio attraction has you covered.

Visitors to the Haunted Dollhouse Museum, 619 W. Hildebrand Ave., this holiday season can snap a photo with the horned mythological creature. Just cuddle up for a holiday pic your friends and relatives will definitely remember.

“With Krampus, you don’t just sit there on his lap and smile like you do with Santa,” Haunted Dollhouse Museum director Giovanna Albrecht said. “There is a lot of participation with Krampus and the people. They can sit on his lap, or Krampus can read to them. Krampus can even stuff them in a bag or choke them.”

Photo sessions are available noon-6 p.m. Saturdays and noon-5 p.m. Sundays through Dec. 22. They cost $20 per group or are free with paid museum admission.

The self-described “creepy-cute haunted doll museum” also will host a Creepmas Party on Dec. 6 starting at 8 p.m. Krampus will be there, along with food, drink, music, performers and an artisan night market. The block party is free, but the full experience requires a $20 donation.

The Haunted Dollhouse Museum is easy to spot from the blowup Krampus displayed on its front lawn. Once inside, visitors can shop from an assortment of merch featuring the Yuletide devil, including pins, kitchen towels, mugs, T-shirts and, naturally, a sweater that comes in various sizes for men and women. Just don’t call it an ugly sweater, or Krampus will stuff you in his sack.
