Sometimes you stumble across things you wish you hadn’t discovered. That’s what happened to me when I discovered the seemingly harmless children’s toy in our basement that you see in this video. Okay, admittedly, it’s still completely harmless at second and third glance. But the sounds and music it makes inevitably remind me of horror films. Since it’s nicer to get scared together and because it’s Halloween, I thought I’d share this little anecdote with you. Of course, my five-year-old twin daughters don’t yet have any associations with horror films. That’s why they happily play one note and one song after the other when they get their hands on the thing. I’m almost tempted to take it with us today when we go out trick-or-treating with her friends in the late afternoon. But I’m afraid that no one will open the door for us anymore. Either way: Happy Halloween everyone!
