Elf on the Shelf is Creepy

I've never liked dolls. My mother must have worried about me as a child. Dolls promptly ended up at the bottom of the toy chest. Fancy porcelain dolls she put on wall shelves had to be taken down and regulated to the closet shelf instead, each of them facing the wall. I didn't trust that …

Creepy Home Decor

First, a disclaimer. I don't have any of these things in my house. For the most part, my decor is normal. That doesn't stop me from wondering just how many people I could scare if I did have a room with the following:   Let there be light...   Of course, no room is complete without …

I've never been afraid of clowns, but there are a lot of people who are. A guy I worked with was absolutely terrified of them. When I asked him why, he said it was because he always felt they were hiding behind a mask. I have to admit, some clowns are rather unsettling. Here's a …
