Opinions vary on what evil spirits actually look like, but gargoyles are meant to scare them away by out-grotesquing them. Some of them manage to be almost cute at the same time, like the famous gargoyle on these socks — he's normally lounging on the precipices of Notre Dame, but he's graciously taken a break to lend his protective abilities to your feet. Not only does he serve as an important example of spookiness not necessarily being malicious, he can also teach an enlightening life lesson that sometimes the best way to deal with negativity is to barf directly on it.
