Following the Paddington Bear, fans took to Photoshopping the little bear into a variety of horror movie scenarios. The one above by Olly Gibbs is my favorite, but it doesn’t end there:

Meanwhile, the Weinstein Co. is getting on with the marketing, releasing a new trailer for the film which follows the comic misadventures of Paddington (voiced by Colin Firth), a young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British who travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family who read the label around his neck — “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” — and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist (Nicole Kidman)… Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi and Julie Walters co-star.
The film recently moved its release date by a couple weeks and will now hit theaters on Christmas Day, check out the trailer and poster below.
