Kidding!

We asked those arbiters of awesome odd ephemera, Found Footage Festival, to curate this week's YouTube roundup -- and they were the ones who decided to scare you senseless.

First check out Found Footage Festival's frightening picks, and then partake in a few skin-pricklers from the Mashable staff.

Hey, it's not the holiday season unless someone feels uncomfortable, am I right?

Frosty The Snowman-like Beast

FFF: While trolling thrift stores around the country for VHS gems, we find a lot of Christmas videos, and the best ones all seem to have a bit of a dark side to them. Still, nothing could prepare us for the nightmarish vision depicted in this sing-along video for "Frosty the Snowman," starring a man named Frank Woehrle and a snowman costume that will forever haunt you.

"O Come All Ye Jingle Cats"

FFF: We don't want to live in a world where cats can sing and play harmonica. On second thought, who are we kidding? Of course we do.

Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny

FFF: The title of this children's video sounds innocent enough, but what unfolds plays like a disturbing Kenneth Anger film. Seriously, this is one effed up Christmas.

"Get Around Santa"

FFF: As if the crudely-animated, rapping Santa wasn't enough to dampen your Christmas spirit, along comes a live-action Santa on a Jet Ski.

Donny & Marie Christmas Show

Todd Wasserman: There's nothing more frightening than the Osmonds, particularly when they're all gathered in one room. Watch and recoil.

A Christmas Story

Ada Ospina: One of my fave movies but one of my greatest fears growing up. Please note that I never tried this.

Heat Miser Song, "The Year Without a Santa Claus"

Sarah Kessler: Even as a child I knew this was creepy.

The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky
