If horror movies are something you just can’t stomach, perhaps the Twittersphere can calm your nerves.

It’s an easy game to play, and the results are just wonderful.

Case in point:

While several of the tweets ventured into political commentary, the best ones stuck to the idea of turning something horrifying into something silly.
