Barely Bunny
“He was billed as the ‘Easter Bunny’ at my local San Fernando Valley (CA) mall and I was rightfully hesitant.”

Rabid Rabbit
“My sister on the lap of the most gawd-awful Easter Bunny ever. A mom in our mother’s club had borrowed the bunny costume for photos … we didn’t know how to tell her that not only did the Bunny appear to be a mutant, but it was SCARING THE CHILDREN!!”

When Laura Ashley Attacks
“This is a photo of my mom, younger sister, and me visiting my mom’s parents in Scottsdale, AZ in 1989. My grandmother, an old-school WASP, ordered these matching Laura Ashley dresses for the occasion. There’s no good explanation of my modified bowl-mullet hairstyle, however.”

Candy Cigarettes
“Easter 1967. The Easter Bunny brought two baskets — one with candy for me, one with Tareyton cigarettes for my father.”

An Easter Arrest
“This was taken Easter morning. I am the second from the left, and had just been bailed out of jail by my parents. I had spent the night in jail in Ferguson, Missouri for taking a case of beer out of an open garage.”

White Rabbit
“This photo was taken at K-Mart when I was child. Only when I was an adult was I able to appreciate the full creepiness of it.”

Rabbit Regret
“This is my husband in 1978, with the Easter Bunny from Hell holding him like a sacrifice.”

The Eyes Have It
“I grew up in a small city in western New York state. My best guess is that this was taken at the local mall. I’m the girl (yes that’s a girl) on the left and the bewildered baby is my brother. So much awkwardness going on here, with the homemade-looking set and bunny costume. It all looks pretty innocent, until you zoom in on the eye. Straight up terrifying! Happy Easter!”
