Toys can give hours of entertainment, especially to children who are just oozing with imagination juice. To a bored kid, ev🐠en a simple doll or action figure can give endless possibilities. These crafted bits of plastic make kids revel in a reverie filled with joy and laughter. While little tykes see toys as the p🍷erfect pastime, they're not the only market for these fantastic chunks of plastic. Toys are often seen as collectibles by adults as well.
It's safe to say that toys can be enjoyed by people of all ages. However, not all toys are de♔signed to look aesthetically pleasing. In fact, some toys are just downright macabre. Toys that take inspiration from horror films take away the notion that they're designed solely for children. These types of toys aren't even meant to be in the hands of kids due to their nightmare-inducing features.
Of course, just because certain toys are designed to please horror fans doesn't mean that they're the only types of toys that are considered creepy. There are also some truly creepy toys that were supposedly meant for c𝄹hildren too. It might sound odd but there are tons of children toys that c🙈an easily make one ask the question “what were they thinking?” How these types of toys came to be is anyone's guess. One thing's for sure though, they will definitely be seen as nightmare fuel by others. Here are 25 unnerving toys that might make you wonder why they were even made in the first place.
23 ⭕ 𒈔 Creepy Crawly
It's quite weird how such a creepy-looking character like BabyFace can be found in a wholesome animated film like Toy Story. Those who fꦿound BabyFace's appearance creepy can finally relive the nightmare in real life with this remote-controll𓄧ed abomination! Spiders can be creepy enough on their own.
Add a blind doll head on top of t♏he🐽m, then we've got ourselves instant nightmare fuel. To make thing's worse, even its remote controller has a creepy doll head on the tip of its antennae! How was this even a child's toy, Disney?
22 Nun Of It Looks Goꦇod
The titular character of the 2018 horror flick The Nun gets its very own figure through this 8-inch monstrosity by NECA. This Nun represents everything that shouldn't be associated with the venerable sisters o𓄧f the cloth. Speaking of which, this nun is also wearing actual cloth making it even more realistic, and super creepy!
Just when fans thought they've seen enough of this nun, this figure comes out.
A representation of a demon nun is the last thing anyone would want in their bedroom. Besides, its horrific expression kind of b🍎eats the purpose of making one's personal space feel safe.
21 Straight Outta The Toilet 🐼
Some toys are great for stimulating a child's creativity but the 💖Poopsie Slime Surprise Unicorn manages to do so in such a creepy way. It's like bringing a thought that belongs in the bathroom straight into the living room. The toy comes with a toilet accessory, which already conjures up an odd thought on its own.
However, the weirdest part of the toy is the process of “playing” it. Kids will have to follow a long step-by-step process just to see their toy heed the call of nature. That's not exactly something t✨hat everyone would consider as “play-time.”
20 ꦦ 💞 Monster Mom
If fans thought Friday The 13th's Jason Voorhees was bad, wait till they see who he looks up to. This “Lady of the Lake” action figure by NECA is none other than Jason's mom herself! Where else would Jason get his deranged psychopathic tende⛎ncies from?
Mother knows best, just not this mom, she only knows what's worse.
This chunk of plastic seems more like a pile of rotting flesh. If its mangled face and tattered clothes are🔯n't enough to creep you out, perhaps its eerie synthetic hair🍒 will.
19 🏅 A Toy To Cry 🌃For
Some dolls give their owners lots of reasons to play with them while others, like Tomy's Yume-Chan doll, comes with ⛎features that dis✱courage kids from playing with them at all. Yume-Chan comes with a crying feature that can be triggered in a cringey way. You're supposed to insert a syringe into her arm to make her cry...
It's quite creepy how this ꧋doll was intended fℱor children given its strange manner of play. What kind of toy encourages kids to make them cry by injecting them with a gigantic syringe? It's like they want children to fear check-ups.
18 More Tricks Than Treats ꦬ ♓
Sam might seem like an innocent costumed trick-or-treating kid at first but don't let his childlike stature fool you. His deceptive nature is exactly what makes him the embodiment of Halloween. This rare Mezco vinyl figure of Sam from the cult classic horror film Trick'R Treat has creepy written all over it!
Standing at 15-inches tall, this figure is anything bꦓut tiny. Why do they make these eerie pseudo-children monster characters this big anyway? Of course, its large size alone isn't what makes this figure creepy, it's what's hiding behind its mask that🎃 makes this toy truly haunting.
17 Not Just Your I🎀magination
The infamous🦹 Sir Growls-A-Lot stuff toy by Terror Teds is known for going viral in various social media platforms. This bear initially starts out looking so sad, it's almost as if it demands your care and pity. However, giving it a hug is a big mistake.
It's safe to say that this bear made lots of children cry. It lulls them into a false sense of security before it star♕ts showing its menacing side and monstrous teeth! The fact that it comes with a deceptive nature that catches children off-guard scaring them in t🌳he process makes it such a creepy creation.
16 Not The Doll You G𓆉rew Up With
Evangeline is the seemingly normal name of a toy ꦯfrom the doll seriesꦆ by Mezco. However, this doll is anything but normal. Having this doll around is like inviting bad omen into one's home. How could it not when it has petrifying eyes and a broken face that's literally falling apart?
The fact that she represents an ominous superstition about broken mirrors is bad enough, her frightening visage🃏 is even worse. For having such a beautiful name, this doll ironically projects such a ghastly image.
15 ꧂ 🐲 A Stomach-Churning Idea
Play-Doh appare🌠ntly made a toy called the Poop Troop Set. This giཧves children the opportunity to customize their very own poop characters. It's like Mr. Potato Head, except with excrement as characters instead of vegetables.
It's the perfect toy for losing one's appetite.
At first, it sounds like an innocent idea, one that was driven by the popular emoji character. That's until people eventually realize that, at the end of the day, children are playing with poop. How is playing wi♚th poop a thing? It's a thought that's disgusting nonetheless.
14 It's Not Clown🦹ing Around
The 7-inch Ultimate Well House Pennywise by NECA makes the notorious terror clown from IT even scarier than ever.🌼 Nothing in🗹 this toy represents a joyful clown that's merely playing around. No, this clown means business!
The toy comes with a slew of interchangeable parts and heads including the creepy clown head, the mad clown look an🌜d all the way to the monstrous clown beast head. It's like a choose-your-own-nightmare building set. Needless to say, this is definitely not a toy for kids like Georgie.
