Hallowe'en came early this year to a cafe in New York City that witnessed some crazy-assed telekinetic action. Unsuspecting customers were scared witless by this young woman's 'powers.'
Of course the scene was punk'd. It was all part of the publicity game for the movie remake of the 1976 Stephen King book, Carrie. (Not that anyone can compete with the Sissy Spacek original, IMO.)
But the customers look genuinely taken aback in the footage. Quite possibly, someone could have suffered a heart attack.
In our continuing tirade against uncouth Halloween costumes comes the "Sassy Squaw," which was pulled by a US company after CBC North complained about the name.
Though zombies and vampires may be the subject of many hit books and movies—and yes, even dedicated parades in some cities—do we really want our kids patrolling the streets this Halloween looking like the undead?
A little advice this Halloween. When you go dreaming up your child's next costume, you might avoid dressing him or her up as a rodent, lest they be perceived as a pest in need of extermination.
As one 9-year-old learned the hard way. The Pennsylvania girl's skunk costume was obviously so lifelike that she was mistaken for a real skunk and shot.
