Bad babysitter by remote control...
So I burned a kids film onto a disc for a mate whose ten year old son had been wanting to see it, some cartoon thing aimed at juniors.
The next day I get a call.
"So it's after dinner and as a treat I let Henry watch the movie and he's in the spare room laughing and carrying on and all is good, then he goes quiet.
"I call out and he says yeah he's good, but he's still quiet so after a few minutes I went in to check on him and he's sitting back on the couch, arms behind his head, eyes wide open and the biggest smile ever on his face.
"On the screen is some guy blasting the shit out of zombies, hacking them up and generally having a bloodfest."
Ah yes... that's right I'd put a copy of an old horror film the guy (not the son) had wanted to see on the same disc and had forgotten to tell him.
Best part is apparently the kid's been raving about "the best film ever!!!" over and over ever since.
