I’m not a parent, so I can’t speak to the difficulties of being a horror fan with a toddler that isn’t old enough to partake in my passion. However, I can only imagine it’s a challenge for those that do because then you have to constantly wonder if they’re the right age for a certain film, book, video game, etc… There has to be an ever-present mental state of, “Am I fucking this kid up for life by showing them this?” And while showing your 7-year-old Cannibal Holocaust might not be the way to go, I DO think that having a party with a horror-themed piñata is a totally reasonable path to introducing them to horror! But where might one find such a delightful product?
Enter Hang Me, an Etsy store that has a slew of horror-themed piñata’s that you can hang from a tree and let your kid bash the shit out of at their next birthday party! They’ve got Chucky from Child’s Play, Regan from The Exorcist, Pennywise from It, Jigsaw from Saw, and several more that are well worth checking out!
In my opinion, I think this is a brilliant way to show kids that they don’t have to fear what they see in movies or on TV. By allowing children to literally defeat “monsters”, they see that they are strong, capable, and able to take care of themselves. No more night lights for little Bobby or darling Jessica!
