Creepy Christmas Photos 2025

When looking at photos like this, I never know what’s more disturbing: that someone thought it’d be a great idea to dress up in such a fashion or that somebody else thought it needed to be memorialized.

Happy Thanksgiving 2025!

“With each meal, be aware that the food we eat was once a life, and to honor it as such. Say thank you to the members of the plant and animal kingdoms who have given up their life so we can continue ours: the vegetable, berry, four legged, swimmer and winged nations. Pray for their continued abundance and protection.”

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:
