No, this is not a post about Karl Rove* 😉 Yeah, it’s scary and pretty horrible. And it’s a promotion for a new film. Behaves a little like what I’d imagine Rosemary’s Baby doing. If I encountered the fake Devil Baby, I’d be pretty mad. And scared. But I have to admit, I laughed at other people getting the bejesus scared out of them. Yes, I feel bad. But I’m still laughing.
Hear a baby crying in an unattended stroller on the street? Of course you should investigate it. Just be warned that said baby might be part of a viral marketing stunt that will scare the living bejesus out of you.
The folks at Thinkmodo rigged this remote-controlled stroller with a demonic animatronic infant, replete with the ability to headbang, vomit, and just look downright possessed.
When the Thinkmodo team took their creation to the streets of New York, many a Good Samaritan fell victim to the devilish prank, and the reactions are priceless. (Our favorite reaction is at the one-minute mark.)
You might remember Thinkmodo from their last viral video creation: the telekinetic coffee shop prank in Manhattan, which, as it turned out, was a promotion for the movie “Carrie.”
And lo and behold, turns out “Devil Baby Attack” is also part of a promotion, this time for found-footage horror film, “Devil’s Due,” which opens this weekend.
Thinkmodo founder, Michael Krivicka, told Yahoo News that he thought the project “was an interesting social experiment to see how many people would bother to check on an abandoned stroller.”

What? Shifra didn’t stop this?
Looks like a wrong shade of Bronco.
The power of Gerber compels you!! The power of Gerber compels you!!!!!
I thought that was Eliot Spitzer.
I’m going to have a big nightmare tonight….
ROFLOL at just how horrible/scary he was and the peoples’ reactions!
Hilary,age 7 months.
Also kinda looks like the doll ‘Chucky’, in that creep show. But I will concede that it could have been Hillary, both are dumb and creepy.
Another freak-show movie I will make sure and not see. Life in the ObamaDome is scary enough. TYVM.
OMG! If this had happened to me, they would have been calling the peramedics for the paddles to bring me back to this world!
Having de Blasio as mayor is just as scary.
