CREEPY!

My favorite! "Billy...Stand up Straight!  Your brother is starting to slump"

"This is something creepy just in time for Halloween! Back in Victorian times, it was, from what I understand, fairly common to prop up dead people and take their pictures; often times with their surviving family members."

There was an amusing short story about just this thing in last year's mega horror compilation -- the photographer protagonist took pictures of dead babies, but when he developed the shots, the eyes were open and staring straight at him. Ooo!

Wasn't this in a horror movie or something? These people found a photo album of these pictures in their attic or something.

Also, WTF is the point of this? ???
