  1. Good poll! You came up with some supremely scary bunnies-I’ve never really had bunny fear before, but now I have a feeling I’ll be having Donnie Darko/Watership Down/Anya nightmares….

  4. Ohmygosh, Caellum, your web-fu… it’s… it’s out of control! I mean, the flourescent bunny was one thing, but this – this is *scary*.

    Scary like a bunny.

    I don’t even want to know what sort of keywords you used to find that picture.

    And is it just me, or does that look a lot more like a bear than a bunny? ‘Cause I’m thinking: bear. Possibly dog. Not so much, rabbit.

  5. As one of my astute respondents mentioned, I forgot to include Ralphie in a Bunny Suit from ‘A Christmas Story’ as one of my live-action film choices.

    And a woman I work with, who has no LJ account, mentioned a Teletoon show called ‘The Untalkative Bunny’. I’ve never seen it personally, but she assures me it’s extremely creepy.

  6. And I am so not going to tell you what keywords I used to find it.

    Strangely, it doesn’t look like a bunny at all, no, more like a weird looking bear. Though, technically a bunny, so I believe I win the prize for scariest bunny found.

    -caellum
    What?! There is no prize?

  7. It not only looks like a bear, it looks like one of Disney’s ‘country bear jambouree’ bears. And now I’m having traumatic, childhood flashbacks. Thank you both VERY much!

  8. Fine! Keep your mysterious, obscene keywords.

    I’ll just be plotting your demise… I mean, prize.

  9. ACK! A .sig file from the FoH boards found on livejournal…

    I think that’s a sign of the impending apocalypse…

    -da Bunny…. self nominated scary bunny.

  11. Furthermore… filtering in continually are more things about bunnies, which I will attempt to post here.
