Twitter Is Screaming Over the White House's Eerie Christmas Decorations

The White House unveiled its Christmas decorations today, and they're very…red. Granted, red is a Christmas color, but there's a fine line between "festive red" and, well, blood. The White House's holiday decor is straddling that line.
Let's take a closer look, shall we? One hallway is lined with Christmas trees that are so red I feel like I'm watching that scene in The Shining in which the hotel gets flooded with blood. If you stare at the photo below for enough time, you'll probably start seeing those creepy twins holding hands and chanting, "Come play with us forever and ever and ever." No, ma'am! I will not play in this house! I will run in the opposite direction back to my apartment, where my $15 tree is colorful and adorned with ornaments featuring the different Hollywood Chrises. (Get it? It's Christmas! Melania, call me! I can help.)
Behold, the trees from hell:

I'm not alone in thinking there's something off about this year's White House decorations. Twitter is flooded with memes and jokes comparing its setup to Suspiria, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Handmaid's Tale, and, yes, The Shining.
