Hare-Raising Castle

I don't have context for this. It is from a Buggs Bunny game.

arrepiante
Explanation:
This is a pun with the words "hare" and "hair". If you read it as "hair-raising castle", you'll understand it for sure.

"adj.
Causing excitement, terror, or thrills."

I'm translating a Bugs Bunny game as well. ;) ;)

Cheers!

hare-raising
criação de lebres


Explanation:
atenção: se pensarmos que se tratam de desenhos animados, é muito provável que tenha um duplo sentido dado que hare e hair são homófonas

hare-raising
Castelo Eriça-o-pêlo/de Arrepiar


Explanation:
Trata-se de um trocadilho entre "hair" e "hare" (coelho, lebre). Não me ocorre nada mais criativo do que Castelo Eriça-o-Pêlo ou Castelo de Arrepiar - mas é dentro deste sentido.

hare-raising
de arrepiar as orelhas


Explanation:
Obviamente, como ja mencionado, trata-se de uma brincadeira entre as palavras hare e hair. Penso que o pernalonga, em sendo um coelho, deve estar passando por coisas arrepiantes na brincadeira, ou jogo. Entao, a ideia minha foi juntar "de arrepiar os cabelos", que seria hair-raising, com o orelhudo pernalonga, um "hare", e entao fica o proposto que ainda passa a ideia de horripilante e de ter algo a ver com orelhudos, que sao os coelhos.
