Dead Giant! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

scary_dream · 09-11-2006, 11:34 PM

This severely puzzled me...

Ok so I was driving along, minding my own business, whenever I came across one of those fundraising fairs with all the inflatable kiddie attractions like the bouncy castles and such. Normally of course these aren't too special, but I was still glancing at all the different stuff they had while trying to also watch the road. Then I saw an inflatable maze that looked like a giant... dead... corpse! I have a very high tolerance for weird, but this was a realistic, bloody, rotten body! The kiddos were supposed to enter through his bleeding head wound and exit through his lacerated arms and legs! I am dead serious, this was a real thing, I'm not making it up. My sister and I went back later and she got a picture of me by it

I just couldn't stop staring... I didn't know whether to laugh or say something or WHAT, but I'm glad my boyfriend was there to grab the wheel because I totally was not watching the road after that. It just astounded me... I was a pretty brave youngster and I still would have been TERRIFIED of something that realistic.

Lol is it just me or does it seem that an extremely realistic rotting corpse maze does not fit in with fun bouncy castles? Has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm sure they're mass-produced, so they've got to be other places.

Okay. Seriously. I've seen some weird bounce-houses before, but I have NOT seen that one.

I'm on google right now trying to find it. I want to know what company put THAT one out.

scary_dream · 09-11-2006, 11:53 PM

I didn't think to check what company it was, but I hope you find it, because I'm curious, too!

I'll try to look as well. If neither of us have any luck, I'll ask the owners of the store that had it in their parking lot. Maybe they'll know something.

I *cannot* find it.

I've seen some weird ones, but not *that* one.

scary_dream · 09-12-2006, 12:17 AM

I'm not having any luck either... I'll ask the people in the store. Maybe I can get something from them.

I found it! I found it!!

Here's a link to an article about it: http://www.simon.com/mall/event_deta...=219&EID=50343
