Freaky, the Scary Snowman


Imagine the feeling of walking down a sidewalk, and seeing a fake snowman decoration. It looks somewhat bizarre, so you walk over to investigate. You are now within arm’s length of this curious thing when all of a sudden, it lunges at you! You nearly piss yourself.

That is the magic of Freaky, the Scary Snowman. 

The story behind it is that a fellow named Jay from “RIPFILMS” and another person named Tom from “ExtremeCostumes” were having a conversation. Jay wanted to make a screamer video involving a snowman, while Tom went for more of a snowman costume idea. After talking about it, they had settled upon the idea of scaring someone from within a snowman costume.

Untooning

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/untoons

Wanna See something creepy? There's a fad that spiked within the last few years called untooning. You could say untooning is taking a cartoon, and showing what it would look like in real life. Untooning is the art of taking a cartoon image, and with photoshop, though I'm sure you could use something else if you found something else, and using real features from real people to make the cartoon seem real, while keeping all of it's cartoonish features. As you can see from the Mario image (assuming it's still there whenever you're reading this, otherwise you can follow the link....assuming the article is still there), Mario has all the features of a real man, yet he looks creepy as a real person, almost as if he's got some sort of deformaty. Here's a video of "untooning" jessica rabbit (assuming youtube or the user who put it up doesn't suddenly decide to take it down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r940y3N1Yns. In short, the artist untoons jessica rabbit by using photos of both Angelina Jolie (Star of...you know who she is...) and Alyson Hannigan(Redhead from American Pie). I don't know, I just thought it was interesting.
