14 DAY TRIAL // A coloring book showing gruesome, bloody scenes from popular horror movies has been pulled off the Tesco website.
According to The Telegraph, the book sold by “I Love Mel” is called “Colour Me Good – Arrggghhhh!!” It features depictions of characters from “Fatal Attraction,” “Psycho,” “Misery,” “Hellraiser,” “The Shining” and The Silence of the Lambs.
The movies are banned for children under the age of 18, but the books were marketed at children as young as five years old. Parents were outraged and lobbied for the product to be taken off the site.
“Firstly, and most importantly, my products are not aimed at kids. They are a contemporary, pop-culture inspired range that are aimed at playful grown-ups,” argues company president Mel Elliott.
