These pictures are just flat out weird. I’ve never been crazy about the whole concept of taxidermy and frankly I can’t imagine going through a dead animal’s body is even remotely enjoyable. Remember that smell in biology class when you had to dissect the dead rat or whatever? Worst smell ever. Now imagine dealing with that on a daily basis and you’ve pretty much summed up the life of a taxidermist. I guess if it’s your job, you might as well have fun with it – that might explain some of the wacky creatures in the gallery after the jump.

Ok, so maybe these stuffed animals aren’t quite as creepy as our 28 Creepiest Taxidermy Creations, but stuffing dead animals for ornamental purposes is pretty damn creepy in and of itself. Throw in a Santa hat and some Christmas lights and it’s downright disturbing, albeit not as disturbing as this.

If there’s one career we never considered taking up, it’s taxidermy. Not that we have anything against dead animals. It’s that we don’t understand why the hell anyone would want to spend their life making the dead animals look alive again. But what we understand even less than that is WTF these crazy taxidermists were thinking when they cooked up these creepy concoctions. Here are The 28 Creepiest Taxidermy Creations.
