It all started last Saturday. It was a day like any other. My mother said that she was going shopping and leaving me at home to take care of my little brother.
I was in the kitchen, searching the internet on my laptop and my brother was in the living room, playing with his toys. I heard my brother jumping around, squealing and laughing.
Suddenly, I noticed that everything was strangely quiet. I thought my brother must have fallen asleep, but when I went into the living room to check on him, I found him on the couch, sitting perfectly still. His eyes were fixed on the TV.
Elmo Knows Where You Live is a scary story for kids about a beloved character on children's television who turns out to be very sinister indeed.
Elmo Knows Where You Live
It all started last Saturday. It was a day like any other. My mother announced that she was going shopping, leaving me at home to take care of my little brother.
I was in the kitchen, browsing the internet on my laptop and my brother was in the living room, playing with his toys. I listened to my brother jumping around, squealing and laughing.
Suddenly, I noticed that everything was strangely quiet. I thought my brother must have fallen asleep, but when I went into the living room to check on him, I found him on the couch, sitting perfectly still. His eyes were fixed on the TV.
"What are you watching," I asked.
Without taking his eyes off the TV, he replied, "Elmo."
Everything seemed normal, or so I thought.
When theme music finished, Elmo came out from behind a curtain and said, "Ha Ha Ha, thanks for coming to see my show, you stupid morons!"
That struck me as a weird thing for Elmo to say, since it was supposed to be a program for children. Then, a chill went down my spine as the small red puppet let out an eerie and macabre laugh.
"Elmo hopes you have fun because it may be the last time... Ha Ha Ha... Don't turn off the TV or you will pay dearly... Elmo doesn't like boys and girls who turn off the TV... Turning off the TV is BAD!"
"Yes Elmo," my brother said. He was talking to the TV.
"Remember what Elmo told you last time... Ha Ha Ha... Elmo has a new talking doll coming out... It will be in shops on Saturday... Your parents need to buy you a talking Elmo doll... Ha Ha Ha..."
"I know, Elmo," said my brother.
"You know what happens to parents who don't buy Elmo's products..." Elmo came closer to the camera until his face filled the entire screen. In a shrill voice, he screamed "Elmo knows where you live!"
I was about to turn off the television, when the puppet said something else. It seemed as if he was talking directly to me.
"Ah Ah Ah!" he shouted. "Someone is being very naughty! You know what Elmo does to naughty people!"
Elmo took out a big sharp knife and waved it around, stabbing at the air.
"Just remember... ELMO KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE!" he screeched.
It gave me such a fright, I panicked and turned off the TV.
ELMO KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE!
