Does Brexit give you the chills?
If so, you might want to turn off the lights and lock the doors this Thursday (31 October), as children go out for the annual trick-or-treat hunt, because there’s a big chance that a mini-Boris Johnson will be knocking on your door.
According to new research by Beano Studios, the Prime Minister ranks 10th on the list of most popular Halloween costumes among children this year.
The findings also revealed that over half of the 2,000 British parents and children surveyed are using Brexit as their inspiration, and more than 25% are going as well-known British politicians (so you’ll probably see a mini-Jeremy Corbyn out and about, too).
Brexit decorations are also popular, so don’t be surprised to see flags, pumpkins carved with slogans – or political faces – or who knows, perhaps even a miniature red bus or two.
Let’s face it, politics in 2019 is a bit scary, so this kind of makes sense.
In fact, two thirds of the participants considered Boris Johnson as the ‘scariest’ celebrity, though he’s trumped by the President of the United States – the research showed that Donald Trump is the one who gives children chills down their spines.
Other popular themes included superheroes and magical beings, with Spider-Man – who nabbed the second spot – The Joker and Wonder Woman all on the list.
Don’t be surprised if you see Eleven or Dustin Henderson pottering about, too, as characters from Netflix’s hit series, Stranger Things, were among the top choices.
The number one spot, however, went to this year’s creepiest clown: Pennywise from It Chapter Two.
