When I was a kid (I’m guessing 5), there was a house nearby where my grandma lived which had a statue of a small dog outside their house. The eyes on this statue were made of glass, and looked incredibly real. I remember standing there staring at the thing, extremely tempted to try and touch the eyes just so I could convince myself that the thing wasn’t alive 🤣. I probably stood there for about 5 min before I finally got the courage to touch it and realized it was just glass.
I was convinced that thing was going to bite me when I touched it.
To be fair, the original had some pretty disturbing scenes. I still remember the one where a train refused to leave a tunnel. So they bricked him in, left him there, and that was the end of the episode!
