Children’s cosplay shoot inspired by a famous zombie series gains attention.
“WARNING: SOME IMAGES MAY BE DISTURBING FOR SOME VIEWERS,” cautions Little Star Photography at the beginning of their trending portfolio showcasing children emulating memorable moments from a well-known zombie show.
As a fan of the series, you might be accustomed to its intense themes, but how do you feel about toddlers reenacting its most famous scenes? The internet certainly has varied reactions.
It’s remarkable how even a toy bat can evoke fear when held by a young child. Meanwhile, a mini version of a beloved character steals the spotlight, playfully leading the “walkers” away.
With 24 kids participating, it’s no surprise that fans of the show would jump at the chance to have their little ones posed with props and styled as zombies. Just as some parents opt for adorable fruit basket photos, others choose to depict their kids as the undead—a testament to differing parental preferences.
While reactions on Instagram tend to be largely positive, the same can’t be said for Facebook, where the images have sparked a debate.
One of the more iconic scenes, a flower moment between characters, is prefaced with a disclaimer: “No children were harmed during this photoshoot; they were simply playing pretend with toy guns,” the photographer clarifies. “Both kids understood they were acting and are aware of safety around toy weapons.” Yet, this explanation didn’t quell the backlash online.
One commenter expressed concern, stating, “This is entirely inappropriate. What if a child reenacts this with a real gun?” However, one could argue that allowing access to a loaded firearm poses a greater risk than a child playing pretend. Another voice chimed in, “This is revolting and makes me feel ill.”
Conversely, some have voiced their support. A grandmother shared her enthusiasm, saying, “I absolutely love these pictures! You should share them with dedicated fan groups; I’m sure you’ll receive many requests.” She recounted her own adventures as a fan, recounting trips to film locations with her grandkids.
Interestingly, some of the discontent seems to stem from viewers believing the images spoil upcoming plot twists—a rather amusing take on the situation.
While these images may not resonate with everyone, the outrage seems exaggerated, especially considering that once a year, children dress as bloodthirsty creatures for Halloween without incident. Yes, they may be unsettling, but like any content on social media, viewers can simply scroll past if it doesn’t appeal to them.
