Peeeeeeeeek a boo! (Who thinks Santa is about to eat these children?)
I wish I owned this.

Watched Poltergeist II the other day (great movie, but the first was awesome), and happened to pause for a break on this comical frame:
Oh, hell yes, haunted kitsch sweater!

Unofficial music video for “The Darlings of Lumberland” by They Might Be Giants, from their 16th album “Nanobots” (2013): http://www.tmbg.com (see more below).
