This 'Goodnight Moon' Remake Will Ruin Your Favorite Children's Book

Neha Prakash2013-04-18 20:39:19 UTC

Remember when your mom used to tuck you into bed? You'd be all snuggly and warm and she'd read to you that sweet story "Goodnight Moon."

There would be red balloons and cows jumping over the moon, mice and mittens and hushing old ladies. You would drift off to a blissful sleep dreaming of candy and ponies and rainbows, all because of that amazing little bedtime tale.

This is not the same story.

Gritty Reboots works its extra creepy magic in this sinister and somber version of the book, where mice and old ladies in the corner are much more horror movie-esque than pleasant children's yarn appropriate. It's truly the adult version of the beloved story that will surely send shivers up your spine and make you start needing your mommy before bedtime again.

And in case you've forgotten the original, cheery tale, here's an animated version, courtesy of The Party Animal Videos.
