Do you want to spice up your kid’s life and ensure that they remember you for decades to come? How about years of therapy ahead for them?
Well if you are that evil, then Dominic Deville is just the person you want to hire.
Dominic Deville rents himself out as an “evil birthday clown” who leaves scary notes for your children, warning them that they’re being watched and that they’ll soon be attacked.
At the end of a terrifying week, your child will indeed be attacked. Deville, wearing a freaky clown mask, will smash a cake into your child’s face.
Deville is capitalizing on what has become a mainstay for all circus-going kids: the fear of clowns. You may think Stephen King’s “It” was scary, but Deville will keep you shaking in your big, red floppy shoes.
Throughout the week leading up to the child’s birthday, “The child feels more and more that it is being pursued,” Deville reporters.
“The clown’s one and only aim is to smash a cake into the face of his victim, when they least expect it, during the course of seven days.”
Deville harasses his targets with texts, phone calls and letters to let them know that their time is coming, according to the Herald Sun.
Of course, since the creepy stunt is “all in fun,” Deville promises to back off if he’s asked to by parents.
“If at any point the kids get scared or their parents are concerned we stop right there,” he said. “But most kids absolutely love being scared senseless.”
Deville, a Swiss actor working in Lucerne, told Orange News that he got the idea from watching his favorite horror movies.
Dramatic scenes unfolded on a small island off the south coast of Norway on Saturday evening when Jesus the billy goat got gruff with a mother and her child.
After Jesus chased a family up a tree and got pepper-sprayed by the police, a Norwegian farmer now feels he has little option but to chuck the offending goat on the barbecue.
The terrified holidaymakers sought shelter in a tree while the father of the family called the police.
Arriving on the island in the Søgne region, officers quickly found that the horny 80-kilo creature was in no mood to be grilled by the law.
“It charged straight at a constable, leading to what can only be described as a fight between the two. It was really angry,” police officer Børge Steinsland told.
When Jesus refused to relent, the officers had little choice but to whip out the weapon nearest at hand, Steinsland said.
“They were quite simply forced to use pepper spray to drive the wild animal away.”
The animal’s owner, Tor Brede Launes, conceded that the attacks on police and civilians spelled the end for the five-year old goat.
“Clearly he can’t behave like this. He’ll probably be replaced by Midsummer,” he said, adding that Jesus was destined for the barbecue.
“Goat’s meat is delicious,” he told.
But if he wants to eat Jesus, he’s going to have to find him first; the goat went underground after the police’s island raid at Fugløya.
Tor Brede Launes first tried whistling, before attempting to lure the goat with grain. Then he took his boat out to scan the periphery of the island, but the beast with the biblical name remains at large.
“It does feel a bit unusual to take the boat around the islands calling out for Jesus,” he said.
A British woman out walking her two dogs along a mountain footpath in Benalmádena (Málaga) has been attacked by an eagle, who tried to make off with one of her pets.
The bird dragged the dog towards a quarry, but the owner was able to hold onto the animal and save it, but got a nasty injury on her hand in the process.
The sudden attack by the bird of prey, which happened last Saturday, made 43-year-old Suzanne Dodd run away from the area, but said the eagle, which was wearing bells and a lead, “did not appear to have any fear of humans”.
The eagle landed on top of one of her dogs, a Jack Russell terrier, and started dragging it by the head towards a nearby quarry.
The owner, however, put up a fight, grabbing the bird by one of its wings and giving it a kick to get rid of it, whilst saying to herself : “You are not going to fly off with one of my dogs”. Immediately after the attack, Dodd put both dogs back on the lead and began running back down the mountain, but the eagle followed her and continued to attack her and her pets up to another 20 times.
She responded by shouting at the bird to make it go away, which in the end it did. The dog in question suffered a small injury to its snout, and Dodd went to the medical centre to have a minor injury to her left hand treated and to receive a tetanus jab. The victim, who described the attack as “surreal and horrible”, admitted she got very upset and “panicked”. She has made a formal complaint to the police to try to make sure similar “dangerous” attacks don’t happen on public footpaths in the future.
A 5-year-old Australian boy is back on his feet recovering from surgery after a rare attack by a fish described as a cross between a tadpole and great white shark.
Tom Horn, 5, of north Queensland suffered horrific wounds to both feet when he was savaged by the 30cm-long tropical fish while wading with family in shallow water off the beach on Thursday Island.
Doctors at Cairns Base Hospital had to operate twice on the huge chunks of flesh gouged out of the child’s feet in the mauling by a fish believed to be a ferocious pufferfish (feroxodon multistriatus) two months ago.
Surgeons plan to write a report for a medical journal to document the rare case that took about 30 stitches, and two weeks in hospital on antibiotics, to guard against marine infection, treat and heal.
“You can’t go anywhere in the tropics without some wild creature trying to take a chunk out of you,” joked Tom’s father, Senior Sergeant Jamie Horn, who witnessed the attack on January 29.
“They were unbelievable wounds, the ball of his left big toe was missing and a chunk of flesh was missing out of his right heel,” said the officer-in-charge of Thursday Island police. “You would not think a little puffer fish could be so vicious.”
In the film, Finding Nemo, Bloat the pufferfish is a gentle character more akin to a faulty blow-up toy. But in the wild, they are described as “a cross between a tadpole and a Great White Shark”, capable of taking off fingers, toes and ears.
“Tom’s wounds have healed up beautifully, and fortunately he’s not scared of the water,” said Sgt Horn. “But lots of other stories about close encounters with pufferfish have emerged since his attack.”
Postal workers have called off their boycott of a house in Peterborough with an allegedly vicious cat.
Royal Mail said it has put the address back on its distribution list because the homeowner has put up a cage around the inside of the letterbox to protect postmen from his cat.
Ian Wilkinson (46), of West Lake Avenue, Hampton Vale, was taken off Royal Mail routes last Thursday after his cat Snowball allegedly scratched at a postman whose fingers poked through the letterbox.
On the same day, Mr Wilkinson fixed the cage the and told Royal Mail it was in place, in the hope service would be restored.
Even before the cage was up, Snowball had to get past two spring-loaded covers and a double brush guard to get to a postman’s hand.
However, the simple cage adds another barrier to stop Snowball’s claws getting to postmen’s fingers, as has allegedly happened three times in the last five months.
Mr Wilkinson added: “The only problem will be if she figures out how to undo the latch and get into the cage to scratch them. But she would have to be a bit of a contortionist to pull that one off.”
A Royal Mail spokeswoman said: “We have now resolved the issue with the customer, who has placed a safeguard around the letterbox. We have resumed mail deliveries to the address after temporarily suspending deliveries.”
Farmers in Mexico found 35 of their sheep slaughtered with significant claw and tooth marks around their necks. They knew exactly what had caused the carnage – the legendary chupacabra.
One man tending to the sheep overnight in the small Mexican town of Paracuaro said that he saw animals with sharp fangs and wings kill the livestock.
Dubbed the ‘Bigfoot of Latin culture,’ the chupacabra is a legendary four-legged creature that many think is responsible for attacking and killing livestock.
However, there were also horses and pigs in the Paracuaro enclosure, which were found uninjured in the morning, Mexico’s Biario ABC reported.
The sheep’s owner, Agustin Carrillo Madrigal, said the pen was secure.
One sheep can be seen with blood around its neck, but there appears to be little damage on the remaining animals.
Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum on Portland, Maine told the Huffington Post that it hardly looks like a vicious animal attack.
‘The bodies do not show a great deal of mutilation,’ he said.
‘Anything mysterious in Mexico is unfortunately labelled as ‘chupacabras.’
