defo this so spooky

The Fisher Price Jack In A Box was quite freaky, being a clown that made a strange wailing sound when the lid popped open. I remember my Mum didn't like the one my cousin had for just the reason.

Re: Toys that scared you

Mr Parlanchin was mentioned on here a few years ago, I've never seen one for real, but he looks creepy.

Whoa Romany,

I just read your story then clicked on the pic.
What a face, I find it fairly scary now !

As a child there is no way I would have had that in my bedroom, I would have never been able to sleep.

See what I mean.....and I thought it was just me....I certainly wasn't in the mood to practise my "Gottle of Geer" routine with him around.

Re: Toys that scared you

I had a ventriloquist dummy called Mr Parlanchin when I was about 12 early 70s see below.
Now I use to get on with him....I think I must of watched an old black and white film about a dummy that walked of its own accord.....that turned me against him...of a night time we put him in my bedroom wardrobe and I swear, I could hear him moving about I just couldn't get too sleep.
I imagined I could hear him whimpering in the wardrobe, then I thought he had somehow gotten out of the wardrobe and was walking down the hallway in the dark I could hear the floorboards creeking. ....(I suspect it was the central heating.)
its hard to believe now but he did scare me!

True..

Re: Toys that scared you

Not quite out of sight and definitely not out of mind.

Re: Toys that scared you

Yes, so much they are, and more so I remember my Mum had put the clown on top of the wardrobe when she knew I was scared of it, naturally she thought it was out of sight, but I could certainly still see it..

Clowns are bloody scary, I don't blame you for that one.

Re: Toys that scared you
