A slighly sinister Christmas picture post

Post by FloridaClay »

I'm not sure I'd want that girl with the doll near my Christmas tree. She looks like an escapee from the Adams family.

She does look scary :o Probably mad because she had to pose for the picture.

I just watched "Village of the Damned" a couple of nights ago. Dye her hair blonde, and she would fit right in. :lol:

That is a well documented picture of Lizzie Borden's family prior to being whacked...

Lizzie, why did you do that?!?!?!

Sorry, I was "Looking for the Band" and got carried away.

LOL!

She's clearly upset that she got the same doll she already had for Christmas.

Even the baby looks worried (or is it just wind?) but there are no scary people in this next Christmas scene. The high-tech interior boasts a DD machine, a player piano, a telephone and even Mr Edison's newfangled electric light......

Sorry, that's not a player piano. Nice interior view though! Probably a nice looking parlor stove somewhere in that house as well...

"but there are no scary people in this next Christmas scene."

This is the empty parlor AFTER Lizzie took care of her family... when authorities interviewed Lizzie afterwards, she told them that the crazy patterns in the floor coverings made her extremely agitated...
