Re: Toys that scared you

I had a big Buddy 'L' toy 18-wheeler with a big mural of a fierce dragon on it's trailer with the words 'Dragon Wagon' written in big spikey letters on it. It used to give me the creeps to look at it and it would never be left on the shelf in full view as it looked like the dragon's piercing red eyes were following you as you moved around the room. And when I was very small, maybe 2 or 3, I was given a rubber crocodile/lizard type toy and I was too afraid to even pick it up! It had a red mouth with lots of sharp-looking white teeth. Hated it.

Re: Toys that scared you

I was an easily scared child, if a toy scared me in the night I would put it outside my parent's bedroom door, I think it became entertaining for them to guess what would be next.
Anyway the ones that spring to mind were a small wind up ET that walked along, I had a snoopy as well but only ET scared me. Also a money box in the shape of ajn apple, out of which a maggot would appear to take the coin you were depositing.

ET was quite grotesque in his own way. I had a little plastic one. Wasn't scared of it but then someone put one up on the cistern in one of the school toilets (and you know how creepy it sometimes was going to the toilets alone in first school). The ETs head would pop up when it was flushed and my god the terror it caused! Mass hysteria! People would have sooner wet themselves than chance those toilets.

Re: Toys that scared you

Oh, that and "Laughing bags," which my mum bought... I absolutely hated that, hysterical, maniacal laughter coming from a bag... I even found it disturbing when you took the bag off, and found this horrible flesh-coloured "thing" (for want of a better word) inside... absolutely creepy!

This. I mentioned it elsewhere on the forum, but these particular toys were taken from the nightmares of the things that inhabit my nightmares.

Re: Toys that scared you

not sure what gonks are myself.

but yes clowns have always scared me .[

there is just something evil about them.

another toy that sort of creeps me out is the fisher price jack in the box the one with a green face.

i can see how something like the balloon incident has affected you from what happened when you where just 1.

UOTE=Tortie;163334]Glad I'm not the only one who found clown dolls and gonks scary; can't really say I like clowns much to this day. Then there was Mr. Parlanchin... been discussed elsewhere
However, my BIG one is balloons - and it has actually turned into a full-blown phobia of them .
Apparently, one of the "big boys" burst one right in my face at a Sunday School party when I was a year old, and although I don't actually remember it, it's obviously manifested itself in this phobia. It's so bad I had to be sent home from work in hysterics a couple of years ago, when they had an open day and, in their wisdom, decided to blow up over 200 balloons. I'm pushing 47, and it's definitely getting worse![/QUOTE]
