Wow. Scary business over here. Look at this 50 lb High School Musical fan. What's she going to do, cry on my ankles?
I guess we're still doing this though. The spooky demon kid thing. With the hair and the eyes and whatever. But the people who make these movies are forgetting a few important considerations:
First of all, can I literally lift this scary thing up over my head, twirl it around like I'm Hollywood Hogan, and snap it over my knee like a baguette? If the answer is yes, then it's not scary.
Here's the math:
If x = baguette then x =/= scary
But there's also the matter of quantity to consider. One bug, for example, not scary. Ten thousand of them and I'm weeping fear juice in my pants. One teenager riding the subway: not scary. Seven of them and I'm getting off at the next stop and calling my mom.
Wait, how many teenagers could I lift over my head anyway? One and a half?
