Of course, we’re all familiar with this Christmas figure from the Tchaikovsky ballet called The Nutcracker which kind goes in the same league with The Wizard of Oz or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ditto, the music called The Nutcracker Suite. Still, they were said to be given as keepsakes to bring good luck to your family representing power and strength guarding it from evil spirits and danger. That is, according to German folklore. Anyway, while many may view nutcrackers as a festive Christmas decoration while others see them as creepy and demented. Still, though I can show you some of the many designs, I’ll just show you some of the strangest, freakiest, creepiest, and most demented nutcrackers around. So without further adieu, here is the list of freaky nutcrackers.
1. Remember the Wicked Witch of the West’s guards from The Wizard of Oz? Well, there’s a nutcracker of one of them.

5. A hippie nutcracker will certainly bring you back to the 1960s.

And you better buy pot from him or he’ll start to play his trippy music. Then again, maybe the music’s not that bad.
6. Get a Boy Scout nutcracker to show your patriotism and support to these fine young men.

Gives me the creeps just looking at it. I wonder what the Boy Scouts think of these figures. Then again, they’re a more homophobic organization than the military so they probably deserve the creepy Boy Scout figures.
7. If you liked the fairytale, here is a frog prince nutcracker.
8. Nutcracker Santa goes down a chimney.
9. And here’s a nutcracker as Satan.
10. Of course, you’ll always have to get a nutcracker set of KISS.

Or just variations of Svengoolie from MEtv who kind of looks like a fifth member minus the white makeup. Then again, I’m not sure if anyone knows who Svengoolie is.
11. Speaking of rock n’ roll, for those with a heart of burning love, here’s a nutcracker of Elvis.
12. Didn’t know they had a nutcracker of Ivan the Terrible.

Or Vlad the Impaler, I don’t know which. Still, is this supposed to be Russian Santa because I don’t think he’s very jolly.
13. For your Christian friends, you can give them a nutcracker nativity scene.
14. And here’s a nutcracker from Candyland.

19. Verily, there’s a nutcracker of William Shakespeare.

Kind of creepy in his little fancy pants and balding head, I dare say. Or does methinks I protesth too much?
20. Let’s see Santa nutcracker show us his marionette.
21. Here’s a Dickensian nutcracker of a chimney sweep.

Who also abducts children in his spare time. Seriously, in the early Victorian days, it was young boys who actually cleaned chimneys naked. This guy only supervised the lot.
22. Fly away with aviator nutcracker.
23. For all you ink enthusiast, here’s a tattooed nutcracker.
24. Uncle Sam wants you to get this nutcracker.

Doesn’t seem to look very Yankee Doodle dandy, doesn’t he? Seems more willing to draft people instead.
25. For your Irish friends, here’s a nutcracker of a leprechaun.
26. Black Forest nutcracker will get his presents this year.
27. And of course, you have to have a Tchaikovsky nutcracker.

Sure he wrote The Nutcracker Suite but looks very threatening nevertheless, especially with the Mouse King in one hand and candle in the other.
28. How about a nutcracker dressed as a Christmas tree?
29. Say hello to the jester nutcracker.
30. And here are three glittered nutcrackers from the Candy Cane Forest.

But I don’t think I’d want to piss her off if you know what I mean. Still, perhaps Cinderella could do worse than having her as a fairy godmother.
40. Scottish Santa nutcracker doesn’t seem too happy.
41. And here’s an Eskimo Santa nutcracker with a seal.

Actually it should be Inuit Santa. Eskimo is an Algonquin word meaning “eater of raw flesh.” Then again, many of the Northern tribes do and so would this one. Still, be glad he doesn’t come with a harpoon gun.
42. Paris shopping nutcracker always goes for the latest styles.
