If you've ever wondered why kids cry when they have their picture taken with Santa, wonder no more.

These Santa's are horrifying!

I know that it takes a special type of person to be able to pull off "mall Santa."

They have to be kind, courteous and the ability to take a picture with screaming little kids.

The Santa's in the photos appear to be missing some of those qualities.

If you need more strange looking Santa's, I found a treasure trove of weird at Creepy Santa Photos.
