Earlier this year, the first image from the new 'Paddington' film was released and ever since that fateful day, people have taken it upon themselves to create creepy cartoon memes that mock it. With his classic bucket hat and toggled jacket, Paddington Bear unfortunately took a sharp resemblance to stereotypical serial killers.
The creepy cartoon memes started to populate a Tumblr site appropriately titled, 'Creepy Paddington.' From 'The Shining' to 'Silence of the Lambs' and even 'Night of the Living Dead,' people have placed his cutout form in iconic stills to create the memorable creepy cartoon memes.
All of the creepy cartoon memes were impressively created with Photoshop. Some of the images look quite realistic.
