That’s not creepy, that’s grizzly. ---

I’m sure it would be for a kid. But is it wrong that this 40 year old woman now wants to figure out a way to make her own? 😃 ---

That’s pawsitively alarming… Big creep factor for me and I know my son would run screaming into the night. ---

My kid would love it. Of course, my kid cheers for the zombies in _Army of Darkness_, so she may be a little weird. ---

I was hoping that it would be a Teddy Roosevelt lamp. Having the ol’ Rough Rider’s glowing head in my den would be pretty nifty. 😃 And yeah, it’s creepy. ---

Um, I assumed it would be creepy before I even clicked on the link. I bet taking pics of it in your kid’s room would make for a real Kodiak moment. ---

One consolation is that it doesn’t have any blank, staring eyes. ---

I was thinking more along the lines of a companion piece to the lamp from Christmas Story. ---
