We've all been there, particularly when we were little kids. Waking up in the middle of the night and needing to go to the restroom, but paralyzed by the fear that something that goes bump in the night may be lurking in your hallway.
Japanese Twitter user lanius (@lanius) has a solution for that problem that they made themselves. To help their children brave the dark hallways on late night toilet trips, lanius developed their very own "anti-scare" lamp--a six legged lamp that walks with you and lights the way toward the restroom!
Unfortunately, it sometimes has the exact opposite effect:
As you can see, the crawling lamp can be quite creepy, forcing lanius's son to flee in terror as the mechanized lamp that looks like a Silent Hill creature starts chasing him! To her credit, the daughter seems mostly unfazed and quite friendly with the spider-like lamp.
Many on Twitter were amused by the actually scary anti-scare lamp, praising both its design and remarking on how actually scary it is:
"On the contrary, this thing is scary! It'd even make adults cry."
"Which is scarier, the dark, or this lamp?"
"I'd be terrified to see that at night."
