Toys from Hell

[dontcallmemuffin]

Does anyone remember those toys we used to have as kids that would either annoy the hell out of you or give you nightmares?
Furbies without off buttons that wouldnt stop talking.
Tamagotchis you couldnt stop cleaning and feeding them because of the guilt of killing them or just one of those dolls that would stare at you from the other side of the room.
What toy did you have that has a special place in your nightmares?

The my buddy doll, thanks to the Chucky movies.

Dolls, of any kind, mainly from reading this book where this guy's sisters dolls turn him into a doll. They have scared the shit out of me ever sense.

A clown doll that was given to me by my aunt.
It sat on the end of my bed for one night, and the next day I threw it away.
I knew it was looking at me, and Poltergeist confirmed my fears.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Stupid ventriloquist dummies/dolls always scare the shit out of me.

My sister got a victorian looking doll, can't look it in the eyes, it will kill me.

Don't hurt me

 

[Jharry5]

Any sort of doll/ventriloquist dummy, thanks mainly to the Chucky movies and the Goosebumps series of books, or the television series (I can't remember the name of that particular story/episode). I don't even like clothes shop mannequins because of those...

well, i never had an experience like that, but I once left my spider-man action figure at my friend's house, and he had the same exact one. he left the room and when he entered another, there it was! he thought it was following him, and he stabbed it until nothing remained. after he had dispatched the "demon figure", he walked back into his room, and almost had a nervous breakdown. i came back to get it later that day, only to find that my spider-man was gone, and my friend owed me 10 bucks.

Tamagotchi, I banish thee to the deepest circle of hell to be cock-slapped by Satan's spiky willy for all eternity.

I had a cheap dinosaur warrior toy as a kid. Some daft thing you got in a set where it came with 5 other warriors for liek £2. It could barely move. All it could do was rotate its stiff arms to akward angles and had a botton that made its jaws glow red and it rawred "I will kill you".

When i was a kid i taken the batteries out the back because i needed them for something else. When removed i put the back back on and pressed the button, only to be greeted with a "I will kill you..."

Its safe to say i threw that fucker out the window (Like, really). I went to find it the day after.. but never found it..

Dun dun duuuuuuuun...

Teddy damn Ruxpin....that voice reminded me of BooBoo from Yogi bear who's been possessed by the devil

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Speak and Spell. God, I still have nightmares from that fucking thing.

 

[Sir-jackington]

This thing you would roll about to pick up lego but that was mainly due to the fact that when i was 5 my brother dropped in on my face from the top of the stairs......hmmmm i dont think i ever got him back for that

See how it really laughs here. It sounds like a chainsmoker o.o

Not a toy, but still a physical object featuring something from the episodic 30 minute toy commercials of my youth. There was one GI Joe episode where Cobra was using a giant robotic sea serpent to "eat" ships, presumably as part of a nefarious plot to earn back the money it cost to build the giant robotic sea serpent.

Anyway, that big-ass red robosnake with the glowing yellow eyes that ate ships whole petrified me. And it's not like I have ophidiophobia or herpetophobia - I just did not like this one thing. Something about its size and what it did and how it was drawn all came together to turn me into a shivering, cowering wreck.

When I first saw the episode I hid whenever the serpent or even its massive silhouette (aerial view of a boat, dark shadow with glowing eyes moving into position under it) was onscreen, changing the channel not having occurred to me, apparently. Once it was over I was glad I didn't have to see it again.

And then someone got me a VHS tape with several GI Joe episodes on it as a gift. Guess what one of them was? I actually memorized the tracking numbers (VCR didn't have a time for tracking, just a number from 0000 to 9999) for that tape so I could watch the episodes I liked, then fast-forward past that episode without ever having to see the serpent.

Oh God make it stop.

That demonic contraption cost me many hours of sleep in my childhood.
