 It was about a little boy who refused to behave at the kitchen table and is kidnapped by an invisible force, that takes him to a factory to turn him into lasagne.Rix took note of how the lie had made his four-year-old eat every meal without hesitations, which would inspire a series that could scare children into behaving themselves.The story of the Spaghetti Man would be included in the franchise debut's "Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids", which was published in 1990 by André Deutsch's eponymous publishing house.
