Easter Bunnies: Sci-Fi & Fantasys Greatest Rabbits

Frank Donnie Darko

(opens in new tab)

Frank is the evil-twin flip-side of James Stewart’s friendly rodent pal in Harvey , a giant, all-knowledgeable rabbit who looks human and only Donnie Darko can see. Is he part of Donnie’s imagination? Is he a supernatural entity? Or is he something else entirely?

He’s also the harbinger of doom: when he first appears to Donnie, he tells him that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. Even if he didn’t look like he’d just walked out of the rabbit version of the Scream movies (he’d be Ghostface, of course), nobody likes the bearer of bad tidings, be they human or bun.

Easterific or horrific? If a happy wee toddler on an Easter egg hunt in their garden happened to come across Frank, they’d be in therapy for the rest of their God-given life.

We really don’t want to talk about this. It’s too disturbing.

Easterific or horrific? Despite cute appearances… Nooooooooooooooo! Don’t you come anywhere near our Easter!

Jack, Jane and Suzie David Lynch’s Rabbits

You can’t help but wonder sometimes if David Lynch is weird just for weird’s sake, and here’s a prime example: his Rabbits webseries. Eight episodes in total, with one of the sequences appearing in his movie Inland Empire , Rabbits features a bunch of pointy-eared half-human, half-bunny characters speaking random sentences and walking in and out of the room while a fake laugh-track plays over them.

What are they doing there? Why are they animal-human hybrids? Are they in Hell’s waiting room or trapped in some hitherto-unseen corner of Twin Peaks ’s Black Lodge? We may never know. But it’s definitely weird. And, as one of the commenters on the YouTube clip above declares: “It’s like Two And A Half Men , only funnier.”

Easterific or horrific? They don’t do anything terrifying per se , but they’re damn scary all the same. Definitely an Easter no-no.
