Parents have been using a Snapchat Halloween filter with spider on their children, and the kids are seemingly not happy about it! The spooky festival might be behind us, but apparently, that has not stopped the grownups. Videos of parents filming their kids with spider filters have been going viral. But in many of the clips, the little ones are seen crying hysterically as the tarantula crawls across their faces. From the videos, it seems like the parents are having a laugh at their kids' expense. Twitterati is obviously furious, looking at the kids’ terrified expressions. After the videos of the scared toddlers went viral, the internet has been calling out the parents for being so ruthless to their own children. These Videos of Babies Not Recognising Their Dads After Shaving Beard are Adorably Cute. 

Social media platforms are filled with videos of kids getting horrified by the filter. In one of the clips, a toddler can be seen desperately trying to bat the tarantula away, but to no avail. The Halloween-themed Snapchat filter in question overlays digitally rendered 3D spiders on live images of people’s faces. That can be fine and good for adults, but not for kids. They will not understand that the spiders are not real. Snapchat Adds Cat Lenses! Now Your Feline Buddy Too Can Wear Fancy Glasses or Toast Hat.
