Let's turn to the following pictures because you will surely be dumbfounded by some. These are some weird, scary and funny elf on the shelf poses that will really steal the attention of your guests when they come over. Some are made to prevent kids from chomping down on all your cookies! They were meant to be elves that keep tabs on your kids and make sure they are behaving well.

There are also some that can be pretty, well, spooky for the fainthearted. Not everybody appreciates the presence of Chucky during a peaceful and joyful holiday like Christmas. Others just left it to the men to take care of the elf on the shelf and as we've all known, men can be very... different in their creative approach on these matters. Adults have taken serious approaches to make sure their kids behave well.

From kidnapped elves to grated elves, care to try one of these?
