A GIANT billboard promoting a new horror movie has parents at a primary school screaming for action.
Mothers at Albert Park primary say their children are spooked by the enormous Scream 4 poster that towers over their school.
It features the masked "Ghostface", an evil knife-wielding killer.
Parents said the billboard was inappropriate and liable to give their impressionable youngsters nightmares.
Mother of two Leah Takach said she feared it would give her sons Felix and Noah bad dreams.
"I have walked past it with my two boys, aged five and seven, on the way to school and they have both mentioned it," she said.
"It is not a very nice picture. I have had to try to explain it is from a horror movie. They do tend to dwell on this kind of thing and wake up in the middle of the night frightened."
Another school mum, Janine Barrett, said her two young children, Jensen and Addison, had also been disturbed by the image.
"It's a very odd spot to have something like that - across the road from a primary school," she said.
Ms Barrett says she wants the poster removed. "It's a horrible mask," she said

Its bad that it was put up across from a primary school, but at the end of the day, there are far worse things that kids can see. What do they do when they see a trailer for a horror movie on TV, or on Halloween when everyonewalks around the streets in scary outfits (including the Ghostface/Scream mask) - a picture is just a picture. But this gurl is just obviously craving some attention - she took her kids back there for a photoshoot for the paper?
Some people... It's only a poster...
