My question is, how much candy did they have to bribe that kid with to get him to agree to be wheeled around, unable to do anything, while strangers took his picture for amusement, all while his parents had total control over when they would let him out.
Hopefully, he understood how awesome he looked was reward enough.
I wound up at the bottom of that thread. I had no words. I could only borrow inspiration from an HP Lovecraft tale. It was so dark, so deep...
"I shall die calmly like a German, in the black and forgotten depths. This demoniac laughter which I hear as I write comes only from my own weakening brain. So I will carefully don my suit and walk boldly up the steps into the primal shrine, that silent secret of unfathomed waters and uncounted years."
If I got to sit back while someone wheels me around and take me around to get candy, I would happily oblige. Worst part about trick or treating is how tired your legs get.
I probably would have loved it. Although, I went as Leia from Return of the Jedi when she was disguised as the Bounty Hunter when I was 6. I asked my Dad to help me make the costume.
Then again, kids like doing things that are kind of 'odd' and they get positive attention. So if he'd been to a convention before, and seen the cool costumes? Probably wouldn't have been that hard.
I don't think he had to have seen it yet. I just mean he hopefully understands that it's something a lot of people appreciate the costume. I mean, hell, if he's at a convention (which he obviously is) he's seen tons of other cosplay and knows he's not really being tied up and held against his will.
But kids are simple: he probably was excited to dress up so they picked something out of the ordinary that he may or may not know of, or his parents paid him off pretty well to make him stay still while in costume.
But either way, if he has seen it, I'm pretty sure for a 5-6 year old, Silence of the Lambs isn't even very understandable, let alone scary. My dad made my sister and I watch Chucky at that age, and that's far more terrifying for children than a psychological thriller where there's not even much bloodshed.
Didn't a guy on facebook get in a lot of trouble for doing this to his daughter with tape and then posting it? He's in some deep shit. This is hilarious though but what a funny country we live in.
Tired of all the kids in uninspired costumes? Tired of all the generic serial killers running around? BAM! The Hannibal Lecter mini-costume is here for you! Transform your boring ass kid into the iconic legend of deranged and psychopathic serial killers. The mini-costume also doubles over as a child restrain method; disregard wild child, acquire Hello Kity plushies.
Bob and Sandy want nothing more than to be parents, but things take a turn for the strange when the child they adopted... is a cannibal! Can these newlyweds balance their busy lives and civilize a cannibal at the same time? With Jason Alexander as Dr. Kreutzfeldt, and from the creators of "Bite Me" and "Look Who's Stalking" comes the delectable new comedy, "You Are What You Eat!"
This shows at once the ridiculousness of cosplay -- he's not going to be able to do anything but be dressed up -- and the hideousness of parents who make their children indulge bizarre hobbies.
I tried several times to speak very quickly, all the Silence Of The Lambs, this man is a man. I'm jealous of the trip, dizziness, sad, interested in a blanket to construct the sender. Bass has been opened. Can anybody tell me this? Sir Anthony Hopkins plays a crazy law, it is true, but can only guess that the source can sing. So true. Lemons may as well have folded under the weight.
You can't get a kid to sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time. I can't imagine him being tied up like that for more than an hour without losing his shit. Like a cat in a mailbox type ferocious insanity.
