The White House unveiled its Christmas decorations Monday.
Given that President Donald Trump has made the celebration of the holiday a central talking point of both his campaign and his presidency, it’s no surprise they went big.
Many of the rooms designed by first lady Melania Trump have a classic Christmas look.
But one chamber in particular is getting attention online for all the wrong reasons. It’s a twig-lined hallway that’s being compared to everything from “The Shining” to “The Blair Witch Project.”

did Melania decorate the White House for Christmas by putting up the same decorations from when the Obamas were in office and yelling out 'Beetlejuice!' three times? pic.twitter.com/U2rP0GrZ4f

I wasn't sure whether Melania's White House Christmas decorations were more Pan's Labyrinth, It, or Stranger Things, so I combined them all. pic.twitter.com/FKkcVHcxlM
