They sound a lot like Santa Claus crossed with Pennywise the clown from It.

I was thinking more along the line of Cousin Itt's demented brother. 😛

I was fixin' to say Pennywise's ugly cousins. I guess we are all on the same wavelength anyway.

This is the closet pic I can find but does anyone else think Shoko Asahara looks like Namahage? Would seem appropriate if not intentional.

Oops thought I linked to the article instead of just the picture, he is the leader of the terrorist cult that sarin bombed the Tokyo subway.
