"I see the White House has gone for a Gilead-chic look this Christmas," one person jokes, while another cracks, "HEEEEEEEERE'S MELANIA."
Melania Trump has decorated the White House for Christmas, but according to critics on Twitter, it could easily double as a haunted house.
An aisle of blood-red Christmas trees lining a hallway is prompting comparisons to a multitude of horror movies, and even Hulu's dystopian drama series "The Handmaid's Tale."

Why is she wearing leather gloves to decorate the tree?
@SandersRichardM
Did someone forget to pay the heating bill at the White House?
Is it to protect her from some sort of psychic contact, a la Haunting of Hill House?
Holy bloody Christmas this is the White House? What the heck. OMG terrifying.
@MsPinkFink
The White House meets The Haunting of Hill House. Nobody comes out alive. Glad I missed last years. Disturbing.

Lol I had the same thought but kept it to myself. It is a bit too “Suspiria” for the White House tho. pic.twitter.com/F1ZjuvBZ83
@brian_m_scully
Yo, Melania is straight up decorating the White House like it's the ballet school in Suspiria. What, is she expecting the Mother of Sighs to show up?

@mezzomarta
Was Melania inspired by the latest remake of #Suspiria when planning the White House Xmas decorations?
@RosaLovesDC
I haven't seen that much red since the time I saw the movie and let me tell you Christmas wasn't the one thing in my mind after I left the theater. pic.twitter.com/ZbDNZGhOcr
Look, all I'm saying is the new White House decorations remind me of how I felt watching SUSPIRIA (2018).

I loved the 2018 SUSPIRIA remake but I do not like The White House SUSPIRIA remake. pic.twitter.com/HyvGtePfQM

I admit, previous administrations made the White House look like a kitschy, overdone department store. But at least it was Christmas. This looks like the Red Weed from "War of the Worlds"...
