Where It Comes From

In case you missed it — because it’s really just too good to miss — the picture of Athena promoting Scott Westerfeld’s new vampire book Peeps:
Now, you ask, from what side of the family does that look come from? Let’s ask her mother, shall we?
Hmmm. On second thought, you know, let’s not. Unless you’ve got some garlic handy.
You’re blessed, Scalzi, blessed. Such a good looking family!
Damn you, Scalzi. I literally jumped and gasped when that picture hit my eyeballs. So much for swinging by your site before bedtime for some relaxing entertainment.
(shudder)
It’s weird how creepy that is even though I know it’s a manipulated photo.
…even though I know it’s a manipulated photo.Uh. Right, sure. Of course it is.
Well, if it’s not, then all the rest must be. Consider that.
Heh, I printed and posted Athena’s picture on my office door. It causes any co-worker, with girls, to shudder as they pass.
Creepy kid pictures really really freak me out, John. For some people it’s spiders, for others clowns; for me, the one way to guarantee a creepy crawly feeling up and down my spine is a picture of or a movie or story about creepy, scary evil little children.
You wanna know what? The picture really creeps out too, and I made the stupid thing. I get a shiver every time I see it.
So is the famous “Bat Boy” a first cousin?
Another thought: You should do a READ poster for the ALA, in a similar vein.
They apparently offer or sell kits which include template materials so that libraries can create posters that follow the design, but with different photographs.
ok, honestly? that scared the crap out of me. i’m going to go remove all the japanese horror movies i recently added to my netflix queue for extra measure.
