"For The Kiddos" is the prompt for Day 11. When I originally came up with the prompt I had kid friendly scares in mind. However after seeing the trailer for Mr. Crocket I decided it could be interpreted differently. Mr. Crocket does what he does for the kiddos (in his own twisted way), so it works.
Plot
When her son is taken by a supernatural children's show host, a recently widowed mother attempts to get him back.
Review
Like Piggy, this is based on a short. This one is getting mid reviews, but I thought it was fun. The idea of an evil Mr. Rogers is fantastic. The set designs and effects are creepy and the the retro animation segments add to it. The demonic versions of the PBS-style puppets are great. Elvis Nolasco is fantastic as Crocket.
This one definitely shows the love of a parent. Summer, the protagonist, goes through Hell to get her son back, despite the fact he was a rude little shit. Now don't get me wrong, I get that Major didn't understand what's going on and his father has died, but he's a menace to this mom and she still fights to get him back.
Your Game
Mr. Crocket is a lot like Freddy Krueger in a lot of ways so I decided to stat him for Cinematic Unisystem like I did for Freddy. Mr. Crocket's world is a hell dimension but acts like Freddy's dreamlands.
