Lucerne's Carnival Of Nightmares

Switzerland has the freakiest carnival in the world. If Guillermo del Toro and Caligula ever threw a parade, it might look a lil' somethin' somethin' like this.

Musicians dressed for carnival perform at the Luzern-Carnival in Lucerne February 16, 2012. The history of Lucerne's carnival can be traced back over more than 600 years and is best known for its individually hand-crafted masks and costumes paraded in the town's streets and squares by thousands of revellers during the three-day carnival festival.
