A 5-Year-Old From Alabama Gave His Neighborhood A Fright After Walking Down The Street In A Chucky Costume

With summer winding down, Halloween is only eighty-nine days away– and one five-year-old from Alabama is already getting into the spooky spirit.
Kendra Walden, a thirty-one-year-old business owner, was driving some employees home through an Albertville, Alabama, neighborhood last week when she was forced to do a triple-take.
Out of nowhere, she spotted a life-sized version of the murderous Chucky doll strolling down the street. And at first, Kendra could not believe her eyes.
“When we got closer to him, we saw that it was real. And it scared the heck out of us,” she recalled.
The group– who had been remodeling a home in the neighborhood– ended up circling back numerous times to get a better look at the child playing dress-up.
Then, during their third time driving down the block, Kendra was able to snap some photos of the wild child that she later shared on social media.
“Dear parents of the little boy in the Chucky costume in Pinson. GET YOUR KID… I almost had a heart attack,” Kendra wrote on Facebook, accompanied by the photos.
The post quickly circulated throughout the Alabama community and went totally viral, gaining over one hundred thousand shares, fifty-three thousand likes, and seventeen thousand comments.

The response utterly shocked Kendra, who described her intentions behind the post as being “just for fun” in an interview with Today.
“At first, it [the post] was private,” Kendra explained.
“Then, a friend asked me to make it public, and after that, it has been crazy. I can rarely check my notifications because so many are on the Chucky post.”
Nonetheless, the Facebook community absolutely loved this end-of-summer dose of the creeps.
“OMG! This is awesome,” commented one user.
“So hilarious!” wrote a second user.
“I love this. I am going to buy my son a costume!” said a third user, followed by some laughing emojis.
But, Kendra was also shocked to see how many hate comments the post received.
Some Facebook users condemned the child’s mother for letting him walk down the street alone, while others claimed the costume was not funny at all.
Still, other commenters did step up and defend the five-year-old’s joke and his mother– who eventually commented on the post, too.
“A lot of ‘Karens’ and ‘Kyles’ are getting offended… but kids are only kids once. Make it fun for them!” wrote one supportive user.
“I see nothing wrong with what this little boy was doing, and when I first came across the post, I laughed and thought, ‘My kids did that, too.’ Carry on, little man. Carry on,” agreed a second user.
