“Two thousand years ago, Jesus is crucified. Three days later, he walks out of a cave and they celebrate with chocolate bunnies and marshmallow Peeps, and beautifully decorated eggs. I guess these were things Jesus loved as a child.”

Creepy Easter Photos 2025
Once again, the Easter bunny – like politicians and rap singers – are proving to be as scary, if not scarier than anything from Halloween. I still can’t figure out who in their right mind would accept a job in a mall dressed as a gigantic rabbit. Then again, I guess they’re not in their right mind in the first place – like politicians and rap singers – and therein lies the conundrum. And would someone please try to explain how Jesus Christ correlates to a chocolate herbivore that can lay eggs!

Creepy Easter Photos 2024
In case you hadn’t realized it, Dear Readers, Santa Claus and Halloween clowns aren’t the only holiday figures that can boast unnerving images. Easter bunnies hold a considerable share of macabre visages. After all, what mammal besides a platypus do you know lays eggs? Of course, the platypus is trying to procreate. The Easter bunny seems to have more nefarious intentions – they hide their eggs and convince innocent little kids to look for them. Who does that?!
And, if you aren’t sufficiently alarmed by these photos, here’s Liam Neeson adding to the trauma:

Happy Easter 2024
“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining – they just shine.”
Happy Easter 2023
“The real reason Easter is on a different day each year is because sometimes it’s difficult to remember which lie you told.”
