10 – The Face Bank,

• Nope, it’s not some weird abomination from the movie Labyrinth. The Face Bank is a money box for kids that is designed to make saving fun. In reality, this creeptastic product probably deterred a whole generation from saving. These poor savers now make up the homeless population of most major city streets. Thanks, Face Bank!
• Face Bank isn’t just a pretty face. It has a built-in heat sensor, which initiates a chewing motion whenever a hand is placed up to it. It has a long battery life and can swallow just about any sized coin. Shame it looks like Leatherface’s mailbox.

9 – Skinny Bones,

• This horror show is a member of the children’s building toy series Bones Family. They’re like Lego, but are off-the-charts creepy and can only be used to construct people. (Sorry, no cool Skinny Bones X-Wings.)
• The heads, hands and weighted feet are relatively realistic, but their appendages are bone thin and made from poseable plastic.
• Created in 1970 by Louis Marx and co., these offensively awful toys were discontinued after failing to take off. They have since become highly sought after collector’s items – probably because Skinny Bones is the perfect monster for a stop-motion horror movie.
• There are four members in the Skinny Bones family: Skinny, his sister Ginny, and their two pets (no, not Winnie and Chinny): a dog named Ham Bones and a horse named Trom Bones. Hilarious!

8 – The Screaming Flying Monkey,

• Don’t be fooled by his cool cape, mischievous grin and gimp mask, this Screaming Flying Terror deserves a place in the freakiest toys hall of fame.
• The Screaming Flying Monkey has long, elasticised bungee arms and finger pockets in his paws. With your fingers in his pockets (errm …), simply draw back like a slingshot and watch him fly up to 25 feet through the air.
• The monkey screams a declarative war cry when jolted, which is pretty much what makes him so terrifying. This is the ultimate toy for jerks who enjoy traumatising their younger siblings.
• This screeching simian lies in wait for the perfect opportunity to pounce. Sleep with one eye open.

7 – Chucky,

• Charles Lee Ray – Chucky, to his friends – is the main antagonist in the Child’s Play and Chucky film series. He was a notorious serial killer who, when fatally wounded, transferred his spirit into a doll so he could continue his reign of terror.
• Chucky is one of the most iconic horror villains of all time, and has even won an MTV Movie Award.
• It’s mandatory for owners of Chucky dolls to lock them away at night, just in case.
• Chucky was created by Don Mancini, who is probably related to Sid from Toy Story.

6 – Crandall’s Acrobats,

• In 1867, toymaker and inventor Charles M. Crandall created stackable toys called Crandall’s Acrobats.
• Sets contained enough pieces to make five acrobat figures. Each is comprised of separate, interchangeable torsos, heads, legs and arms. So far, so innocent, but why then did he make them look so freaking terrifying?
• Let’s play a word association game. Look at these faces and say the first thing that comes to mind. If you answered ‘child molester’, you win! Like the circus wasn’t frightening enough already.
