The creepy children showcased in some of the most terrifying horror flicks get a daycare of their own in this satirical Horror Movie Daycare sketch created by the funny people over at CollegeHumor.
The comedy sketch centers around daycare teacher Kathryn Daisy who takes a loving approach to these otherwise frightening children. To her, these kids are just like any other and deserve the same sort of attention and affection that other kids are afforded.
However, as you can imagine, conventional activities don’t always take place at the ironically named ‘Happy Dreams Daycare.’ Some of the kids still bear their creepy qualities such as having red glowing eyes or being possessed by some sort of demon. The juxtaposition of the scary yet innocence of these children and the naivety of the daycare teacher makes the Horror Movie Daycare sketch are humorous and creepy parody.
