Apparently "they" are making a new version of "Alice in Wonderland".... I don't think I should go see it. It's not that I dislike the story, but I don't think I should tempt fate, as it were, by seeing it on a big screen, in a dark room.
You see, I am kind of scared of the Cheshire Cat. There is nothing about it that doesn't freak me out. Everything from it's sex-offender-who-escaped-conviction smile and evil clown coloured stripes to its dripping with evil voice! I'm telling you, no matter what that cat says, it is actually telling you that you are about to endure a slow and painful death, and it is pleased to be the one who gets to tell you, because it enjoys the look on your face as this news sinks in!!!! Oh, and then there's the disappearing bit by bit, and leaving just a piece of itself behind. (Shudder)
I know it's odd, but at the same time I can't quite understand how or why no one else sees how horrible and pure evil it is.
I had actually forgotten this fear until I was sitting in a earth and ocean science lecture, and one of the slides in the power point being used had the Cheshire Cat in the corner, for some reason. It was an actual effort for me to sit still and look at the screen.
I have now started to wonder if my dislike of animals sitting/standing too still and watching me is somehow related.

I specifically google searched "terrified of the chesire cat" to try and someone else who was. You see, as a child, I was so terrified of the chesire cat I would have nightmares about it every night. it would appear at the end of my bed. I tried to hit it away with my blankie, but it would just appear in other places in the room. I've grown up a bit since then, but to this day I have a slight paranoia when I see the chesire cat. And up until this day I haven't been able to find anyone else who agreed with my opinion that it is one of the most horrifying characters to ever be animated. So thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteI am so very glad I can offer you a sense of... not being the only oneness.
ReplyDeleteApparently the trailer being shown in cinemas has the disembodied eyes and smile taking up the full screen. Just a warning :)
