Enemabag Jones: In the early 90's there were squirt guns that launched out this thickened water goo. I think the commercials lasted on tv one week.

Along with those vibrating Harry Potter broom, those were epic bad ideas.

I have one of those Harry Potter brooms. It was a birthday gift from a family member. I've never taken it out of the packaging, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intimidated by its powers of "swooping" vibraton.

Poldana: RatMaster999: Sweet Xenu! I had this one...the damned thing still haunts my nightmares... You turned the crank and it would play "Pop Goes the Weasel" until that grinning motherfarker lunges out and tries to tear out your soul.

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only kid to be terrorized by that thing.

Nope. I had one too.

I always felt like I was supposed to be having fun with it, but I never much liked the adrenaline over-dump that ensued at some random point during "Pop Goes the Weasel".

/still can't hear that song without bracing myself

XplodedSynapses: Is number 22 Hoops or Yoyo?

No, it's ChooChooBear....

Gyrfalcon: Also, most of these are not "creepy" as much as they are "old and broken." I was hoping for the deadly toys that seared our souls and were actually sold on the open market.

The only one that really qualifies is that stupid cymbal-banging monkey.

I cannot look at one of those monkeys without thinking about that one Stephen King story called, appropriately, "The Monkey." Ding ding ding! Who's dead now...?

/Perhaps a good pair of chattery teeth would protect me from such horrors.

I remember bad dreams about this thing...

List fails without an image of little miss no-name

I would like to add my solidarity and support to my brethren who were also terrified of the Pop Goes the Weasel Jack in the Box.

You can see it in person at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at Caesar's Palace.

I will remember that on my next trip to Vegas...though I might freak out and go Jimi Hendrix on it with some lighter fluid...

lethological_lassie: Does 22 have human teeth? Gah!

Almost!

The FaceBank....

If only this thing had some hair

Anybody else getting a Gentle Giant feel off this one?

jeaux65: Pretty sure #22 comes alive at night to collect teeth. #14 was just stupid. And all the rest of them my brain literally screamed "What the fark is that?!" with each image. *shudder*

#22 was probably sewn together by Ed Gein. Probably filled with teeth and the exterior is dyed bloodstained women's underpants.

I really, really, really, #19 as a bigger picture. I wanna use it as a background for some reason.

/so I'm messed up in the head.
//I'm on fark aren't I?
///Missuse of slashies? Don't care.

Chucky looking motherfarkers....

This was in our house before we bought it, and I'm not 100% sure it doesn't still haunt the place. (pic is from realtor walk-through)

WTF was this thing about? I was too young to remember, but I still feel a lingering sense of fear over it.

Granolabar: Ok, I know I should've been warned off by the "creepiest toys of all time" part of the headline, but holy hell! I'm having nightmares tonight. Thanks for submitting that at midnight, subby!

\This is the sort of thing that drives you back into the arms of exboyfriends.

How YOU doin'?

/Not an ex . . . yet

If the tag is any indication, we're only seeing the underside of #2. Which is a pity, cuz it looks like more of the more interesting ones..

Chucky looking motherfarkers....

My mom weirded out years ago and got into this sort of thing. There's like half a dozen life-size child dolls around the place.

It's extra odd because she wasn't exactly the tender, nurturing kind of mom.



Kinda gives me this kinda vibe, actually.

The kitty meows, opens and closes its eyes and mouth, moves its ears, turns its head, lays back, and raises a paw to lick and clean itself. Dear god that's wrong.

Actually the whole line of "Fur Real" animatronic "pets" elicits a LOT of "kill it... kill it WITH FIRE!!" reactions. There's a lot of lifelike animals in that line, too.

Exboyfriends, future exboyfriends. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Thanks Fark!

Dude, I'm so wasted.

Every time I see this frakker it gives me the shivers.

Check out the link below. One is 'You can shave the baby' where a baby has a werewolf syndrome with an orange jew-fro, a serious 70's bush and hairy ankles.

I sort of want the facebank.

/Both are from Japan, go figure.

/Don't tell me what isn't fetchable.

When I was in NYC, I found a wind-up stuffed bear in the trash. I took it home for some reason. It had this action that was supposed to turn the pages of a book, but the book was missing. His spine had been detached, so his head was hanging forlornly. As a result, when you wound him up, he'd just keep smacking his head, making it flop and gyrate. I called him "The Bear of Woe." I gave him to a friend.

I'd say they're actually a good example of the "uncanny valley" in non-humans.

IronTom: Johnny Bananapeel: Saw this in the toy store when I was a wee bairn:

Wow, I think I had one of those. As a before being able to remember anything. It is bringing back memories of those little plastic dinosaurs that you would melt into plastic rectangles, and they would somehow return to the dinosaur shape somehow.

Sounds like you're thinking of the Strange Change toy. Still remember burning the crap out of myself with the thing.

Brytanica1: I would like to add my solidarity and support to my brethren who were also terrified of the Pop Goes the Weasel Jack in the Box.

Yes, me as well, but for that matter, is there anyone who wasn't terrified of the Pop Goes the Weasel Jack in the Box as a child?

I was also fascinated by it ... it was like pulling off a scab.

#19 made me chuckle uneasily

Paging Stuart Ashen...

The hospital here has a touch-sensitive "robotic cat" for the dementia patients to play with. Looks pretty realistic apart from the dead, staring eyes. And when I visited, its batteries were wearing out. So when I touched it, it made this long, drawn-out, unhealthy-sounding kinda wail/moan that will haunt my nightmares until the day I die.

/kill it with fire
