The Easter Bunny always kinda creeped me out. When I was a little guy, I remember telling my parents to lock the doors so that it couldn't come in my house and get me. The next year, on the day before Easter, my parents hired a man in a bunny suit (I hope) to come and run by our front window. I screamed and cried all the way to my room. There is absolutely noting cute or springy about a giant, mutant rabbit breaking into your home and hiding chocolate miniatures of itself for the children to feast upon. The Easter Bunny for me was more like the Easter Predator.
I suppose that this Easter Tanooki is no less creepy.
