I don’t know why rabbits are always the brunt of horrific makeovers, but Pat the Bunny has now been remade to Pat the Zombie.
The once cute, furry, interactive children's book Pat the Bunny is now a horror story. This will definitely bring out some laughs and "omg" moments for adults, but not so much for kids when they see their fuzzy bunny mangled in blood. I suggest reading this for yourself because it may result in numerous nightmares if you introduce this to young kids. Check out the trailer for the upcoming Pat the Zombie.
