Sometimes we don't think of nursery rhymes as being creepy. Sure, they can often involve death or family problems or just weird-ass scenarios, but it would take someone really special to be able to say the nursery rhyme out loud and make it sound disturbing. In this case, that person is Lost star Michael Emerson, who plays Ben Linus on the ABC show.

He was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and Fallon got him to read "Little Boy Blue." Get your little ones close to the screen tonight before they go to bed and play it for them.

In the clip after the jump, Fallon also shows some illustrations that Emerson did in the 70s and 80s for The Boston Globe. He was a freelance illustrator before he became an actor, and the pictures are...well, they look like something Ben would draw while sitting in his cabin trying to think of what sneaky thing to do next. And I mean that in a good way.
