Halloween is three months away and one kid wanted to celebrate a wee bit early — and gave his neighbors a heart attack in the process.
Today reports an Alabama youngster decided to dress up as the murderous doll Chucky from Child’s Play. Unfortunately, 31-year-old Kendra Walden almost became one of his unintended victims after she nearly died of fright.
“Dear Parents of the little boy in the Chucky costume in Pinson. GET YOUR KID,” she wrote in a now-viral Facebook post and shared snaps of the kid walking through the street dressed in overalls, a striped shirt and an oversized Chucky head. “I almost had a heart attack.”
Walden later chatted about the strange experience and said she thought she was hallucinating at first. “I was remodeling a house in the area and me and some of my employees were headed home from that house,” she explained. “When we got closer to him we saw that it was real. It scared the heck out of us.”
She said everyone with her began screaming “like little kids.”
Soon after, the kid popped off his mask to look at the group, then put it on as he walked back and forth across the street — probably pleased as punch that he made a bunch of adults nearly pee their pants.
Also, for those who may be angrily wondering “where were his parents?” — Walden said the boy’s grandmother was “close by” and “watching it all.”
