Fear of Costumed Characters?

[NostalgicDad]

I remember being slightly intimidated as a kid, simply because they are so big and they come up and start touching you and hugging you.

I sought counseling and therapy for years and now I'm OK. j/k

I wonder if Kramer would be terrified of DL characters in the parks like he was of clowns... No soup for you!

Gotta love a Seinfeld reference! I can just hear Kramer answering your question and saying in a low voice and dragging out the word, yeaaahhh.....

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum creep me out too.

I think I'd scream if one touched me.

NO, YOU HAVE A MAGICAL DAY! *run*

Oh my, yes! I freakin' HATE Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
Other than that, costumed characters don't scare me at all.
Clowns on the other hand.......

Like Bumbershoot, Stephen King's IT did NOT help.......

How about this......I once arm wrestled Tweedle Dum. He pointed at me then we went at it on top of a trash can. And yes, there was photo evidence.

they scare the begeezers out of me!

OH Danny, you MUST share the photo. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

OH Danny, you MUST share the photo. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I agree, we need to see that photo.

 

[NostalgicDad]

I somehow knew I'd have to post the evidence!


First these 2 guys were going at it.......

After crippling Tweedle Dee, he went after my son....

Then it was my turn......

I actually let him win as I was having mixed emotions going through my head about beating him in front of little kids. I didn't want to look like the bad guy!

Haha! That's a pretty interesting little story!

I see those two almost every time I am at DL, it's like they know I'm afraid of them!

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum have always freaked me out, ever since the first time I watched Alice in Wonderland. However I can't think of any other characters that scare me. I go crazy when I see Mr. Incredible or Mulan, who are two of my favorites. However, I also get crazy excited anytime I see a villian, lol. ESPECIALLY Captian Hook. And of course there is a special spot in my heart when I see any of the princesses, especially when they are escorted by their beaus. Its just so cute

However, when I went two years ago with my two nieces and nephew, the two neices were very timid around the characters, and clung very close to their parents. I think they just can be physically intimidating.

 

[EmmersIsTheMommy]

HAHAHAH Aw Danny, what a good guy. Sacrificing your win for the kids

hehe. Awesome story! I wish I wasn't so afraid of characters for this precise reason hahahah

 

[EmmersIsTheMommy]

Oh and seriously, even tho the story and pic is cute, I still wanna gouge their eyes out. At least you're positive you're the most attractive one in that pic LOL

Maybe I should tie my hands to my sides when we go HAHA

Hi everyone !! I'm shyboy72's fiancee and have my own account now !! YAY!


From when I can remember up to when I was about 13, I used to be TERRIFIED
of people dressed up at theme parks. Even ones who just had makeup on.
I don't know what it was, but they freaked me out. My mom said that one time
at DL, a character went to greet me (I think goofy), and I ran from Main Street
to Fantasyland ! She said that I used to run so fast that the only way they
knew where I was going was by watching the crowds part. It was like a road
map for them haha. I feel so bad for them because I used to do that at
Great America as well!!!

 

[EmmersIsTheMommy]

you know, I actually wondered if I should post this, lest one of the first impressions of me be that I fear costumed characters.

But I can now claim I am not alone. YAAAAAY haha

My Dd is scared to death of E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, she thinks he is just too creepy. We recently traded scary movie for scary movie, because I hate scary movies . I had to watch 2 of hers, Secret Window, and Sweeney Todd and she had to watch E.T. She still hated E.T. with a passion!! I liked Secret Window. But the blood in Sweeney Todd was very gory and I had to hide my eyes!!

However, I also get crazy excited anytime I see a villian, lol.

Same! They are hilarious!
Cruella is probably my favorite. What a grouch!
