Please Enjoy The ‘Stranger Things’ Kids Pranking People In A Wax Museum
Millie Bobby Brown is everywhere.
Wax museums are bizarre, horrifying places. At worst, they deliver an opportunity to stand next to stunningly bad wax models of your favourite celebrities. At best, they let you stand next to stunningly realistic but nonetheless dead, waxen impressions of your favourite stars.
Unless, of course, you’re in the small group of people who visited Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City to see a new Stranger Things exhibition earlier this month. In that case, the wax figures were actually the living, breathing children from the show, waiting to scare the living shit out of anyone who sat down to take a photo with them.
Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb MacLaughlin, and Sadie Sink all showed up for the pranking session. Jimmy Fallon also tagged along (dressed as Barb, apparently), and The Tonight Show filmed the whole thing.
The result is the most incredible montage of people shitting themselves with fear and surprise after what they thought were wax figures sat down next to them, whispered in their ears, or suddenly started screaming mid-photo. It’s incredibly funny, especially when guests respond by fleeing from the children they were previously so enthused to pretend to have met.
And to anyone who reckons these kids can’t act, I challenge you to take a look at their stunningly lifelike impression of wax figures. It’s pretty impressive.
