Okay that's more terrifying then the version I heard about Krampus.
The version I heard (from a Slovak) was that you went into the town square for the celebration and there would be an angel and Krampus that came around on December 5th asking each child their name. If you were listed in the giant book, the angel would give you a small something. If you weren't in this giant book, Krampus would put you in his bag and drag you off to be eaten to dragged to the depths of hell.
