Am I the only one who didn't like it?

I agree thank you. Just because they are traditional, doesn't necessarily mean it is right for the movie. It's called screenplay, and sometimes literary things are changed from script to screen for a visual reason.

There's one scene I enjoyed where we first see Krampus jumping from house to house. That had a nice visual flair and a storybook feeling, but that's the best I can say about the entire movie.
That was the only scene I liked too. I liked the howling noises too.
You're going to Camp Blood, aint ya? You'll never come back again. -

Those are not movie's faults, those are just personal preferences.
About the creatures wearing masks, that's the creative decision made by the people who worked on the movie, it's what they wanted.
That's like if I watch Halloween and complain how Michael Myers shouldn't wear that William Shatner mask, he should wear a pumpkin mask instead.
Or if I watch a zombie movie and complain how the zombies should burn people by touching them, not eat them.
As for the movie being a horror comedy, again a personal preference. The director did say it was going for a Gremlins feel, so you shouldn't have expected something dead serious. There's a ton of Krampus movies coming out anyway, at least one of them will be the dead serious one the OP expects.
Again, that's like if I watch something like Alien and say: This should've been a horror comedy, it's not good because it's serious.
