One, Two, Freddy's Coming for You

Is it just me, or is this completely the opposite of everything that a snow globe is supposed to represent? When I think of snow globes, I think of a lovely little scene - perhaps the Eiffel Tower, the North Pole, or Cleveland - that is instantly made magical by the light dusting of newly-fallen snow.

Instead we get to shake up the globe and see Freddy's newest victim have her vision obstructed by all the random crap that's swirling through the air as he lays in wait, pondering the perfect moment to strike.

Despite my reservations, I'm tagging this as a gift idea because we all have those occasions where you just want to completely alienate someone. Pestery great-aunt keeps sending you socks for your birthday? Send her one of these babies for hers and she'll soon realize you aren't worth the trouble. Ex-boyfriends or girlfriends keep calling? FedEx this over and wait for the restraining orders to come in!* Or maybe you just have a horror film enthusiast in your life, in which case this actually is the perfect gift. But if you ask me, you might want to reconsider that particular friendship. For your own good.

*Neither Overlooked nor ShopWiki condone this sort of behavior, you sick, sick bastard.
