Krampus

This horned creature is the evil partner of St. Nick, punishing wayward children throughout the Christmas season. Krampus uses a variety of penalties, ranging from whipping with birch branches to the grave penalty of being transported to Hell and devoured. The terrifying 2015 Universal film, which captured the essence of this Yuletide enforcer, made a staggering $61.5 million at the box office, demonstrating the ongoing appeal of this sinister Christmas custom.
