The ‘people-watching’ doesn’t get any better than when the Scary Snowman made a special holiday appearance on a Boston street. Looking like an unremarkable holiday icon, the sort that predictably stands still, he doesn’t. That’s when the Freaky Snowman collects a bagful of reactions from the unnerved and the unhinged.
I find it interesting that adults are the scardey cats, while kids are a different story. The loud screaming you hear, is not the sound of hysterical fear; it’s the squealing and delighted laughter of the wee ones! Far from frightened, they’re jazzed by the sinister stack of snowballs, and firmly believe he’s the funniest thing on ice.
