The Concept Of This 'Elf On A Shelf' Drive Thru In Los Angeles Is Hilariously Terrifying

Help!!
Contributor

The Elf on a Shelf's Magical Holiday Journey is a live-action "Elf on a Shelf" Experience coming to Los Angeles this holiday season, and benefiting Children's Hospital LA and Toys For Tots.

The event in its entirety will be about an hour long and contain a bunch of different holiday scenes from a gingerbread house to something called "Santa's magical grotto."

A while this is a fun event that children and families are sure to enjoy from their cars, it is also extremely fun to read as if it were actually a haunted house — because that's kind of what it sounds like when read literally.

At the beginning of the experience you & your elf-loving crew will magically shrink down to elf-size!

Like every elf journey, we begin by shrinking.

And here is apparently Santa's workshop from the outside — it is unknown what is going on in there as we can only see vague, moderately concerning shadows — but hopefully he is just making toys.

And this photo appears to depict them injecting some sort of festive electricity into guests' vehicles.

While we're at it, let's look more deeply into the "Elf on a Shelf" himself — some of HIS posts are suspect as he seems to regularly involve himself in dubious activities, such as this one where he attempts to disguise himself as a vegetable.

Here he is trying to harm Halloween with a stick while gaslighting you by telling you "Happy birthday."

Enter the Elf on a Shelf's drive-thru experience if you dare — in reality, he's very safe (and so is his magical holiday journey).
