Something that made me (almost) scream

[athenaltena]

So besides the peanut truck they also had a guy in a peanut suit in Government Center.



The thing was that I didn't realize he wasn't a statue until he moved. I totally didn't nearly run away screaming at the sight.

<_<
>_>

Or maybe I did.

Anyway, he doesn't look that bad when still, but in motion? Pure uncanny valley. Brr.

It was the combination not knowing it was alive and the complete lack of motion in the face. It reminded me of this terrible mascot UMass had several years ago called "Mr. Slice" this giant slice of pizza. They insisted "the kids love him!" but I was personally terrified.

(Amusingly enough, I found someone else talking about Mr. Slice on the "Accidental Nightmare Fuel" entry of TvTropes, which I will not link to so as to spare people getting sucked into that website, as I have)

Mr. Slice sounds like a serial killer. Like, this guy with pepperoni-like boils and hideously melted mozzarella-like flesh dripping from fried-dough bones with a blood-and-flesh-encrused circular saw that rings your doorbell in the middle of the night and hang on I didn't order any pizza and OHGAWDAAAAAARRRRRAAAAAGGHHH!


....yeah, maybe I should get more sleep.
