Photos: 5 Year Old Dressed As Chucky Terrifies Neighbors
This is one of the most crazy and hilarious things I’ve ever seen. I came across this photo yesterday and could not stop laughing and the entire situation. The photo, seen below, was shared by the Today Show on Instagram and depicts a 5-year old child who was dressed (extremely convincingly) as the infamous horror film Chucky doll. It seems as the photo was taken last year, presumably around Halloween. This happened in an Alabama neighborhood. And since it was a 5-year old child (who clearly had to have been encouraged by an adult to do this) Chucky was “life-sized”.
I can see why this would be terrifying and maybe even traumatizing, especially if you have seen the movie and are particularly spooked by it. From the outside looking in, I just see the whole situation as hilarious. But if I stumbled upon the 5-year-old dressed as Chucky in my neighborhood, my thoughts might be different. It seems as though some people believed he was real. Personally, I just want to talk to these parents because I bet they are people I’d like to hang out with! The comments are divided by in my opinion this is a parenting win. As long as they didn’t let the kid watch the movie. As someone who was traumatized by a movie I saw way too young (The Birds), wait until the kid is older. Then show him the photos.
5 Great Horror Movies, From Gore Hits to Psychological Classics
With Hollywood shut down due to strikes from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), production of upcoming shows and movies is shut down. This includes festivals, film premieres, press tours, and even the upcoming Emmys in September.
The writer’s strike began at the beginning of May, with the actors guild joining just last week. Both unions share the same reasons for striking. This includes getting paid a living wage to meet basic needs, receiving higher residuals (financial compensation paid out to actors whenever TV shows or movies they’ve appeared in are replayed on streaming and syndication), and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be regulated to protect talent and writers’ jobs from being completely taken over. For the first time in more than 60 years, Hollywood actors and writers are on strike simultaneously, with no signs of ending anytime soon.
The End Is Not Near
SAG-AFTRA’s president Fran Drescher said a vast majority of actors “are just working people just trying to make a living, just trying to pay their rent, just trying to put food on the table and get their kids off to school.” She added that everything that we, as consumers watch, are “filled with people that are not making the big money.” $27.73 per hour is how much the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported as the average pay for California actors in 2022. However, the BLS noted in the data that actors aren’t paid full-time year-round due to the nature of the job.
With no end date in motion, we’ve come up with a series of lists of entertainment to watch until production begins again. Take a look below at our list of five fantastic horror films that will make you a fan of the genre if you’re hesitant. There’s a little something for everybody on this list, with paranormal thrillers that will have you jumping out of your seat to psychological horror films that have you questioning your own sanity.
