Forget those creepy clowns; the latest scare fest is courtesy of giant cat head masks! As Halloween approaches and you’re still pondering costume ideas, why not choose something that will give your neighbors nightmares for years to come? Just be prepared to shell out a chunk of change!
According to a report from Today, Japan has birthed a new trend: enormous, custom cat head masks crafted by artist Houseto Sato. Each oversized feline face takes about three months to create and comes with a price tag around $5,000. Sure, that might be excessive for trick-or-treating with your little one in Brooklyn, but hey, it could be a great way to instill some fear when the kid misbehaves.
Take a gander at this image, breathe deeply, and maybe call your therapist. I’ll be right here when you feel ready to come back! Honestly, I think I’ll stick with whatever silly kids-show costume my child chooses for me.
Even though these monstrous masks might scare my kids straight, I wouldn’t dream of letting one near my home. I’m a cat lover, after all! (And just to clarify, I adore dogs too; I grew up with cats, and despite being a grown man with a family and not a lonely cat lady, I still have a soft spot for them! Isn’t it funny how dog lovers often claim to dislike cats, while cat lovers generally appreciate all animals?)
Here’s another snapshot, just to keep you on edge. Sorry, not sorry! Fortunately, these gigantic cat heads are only available in Japan, so I should be safe when I take my kids out for candy in a few weeks. If they ever start showing up in the U.S., I might just have to consider moving to Canada—not just because of the masks, but also for other reasons.
If I saw a family of giant cat heads approaching my house on Halloween, I’d probably flush any leftover candy down the toilet, turn off the lights, and even consider burning the place down. I’d be convinced that my worst nightmares had come to life to seek vengeance for all the times I mocked Hello Kitty!
Of course, if I do decide to flee, I might end up at a place like “Hotel Catifornia.” You can freak out, but you can never flea!
