10 Toys From Our Childhood That Are Way Creepier Than We Remember

Thought Catalog / Amazon

Sid’s toys from Toy Story were the classic example of things children should never own.

Whether you asked for or were gifted any creepy toys, these dolls or games have always remained in your childhood memories.

Here's a list of 10 of the creepiest toys ever made that will make you wonder why some of them are still in circulation.

1. Jolly Chimp

There's nothing that's music to your ears more than this "jolly" chimpanzee. A chimp playing cymbals is creepy enough, so why do they add that he "glares, showing his teeth and chattering." This toy sets your teeth on edge.

2. Boobahs

If this alien-looking baby doesn't creep you out enough, just keep in mind that the animated version of Boobahs can fly. Whoever made these was going through a major LSD trip.

3. Pregnant barbie doll

I think one of the best parts about childhood is not knowing how babies are made and where they come from.  

If you thought that barbie doll was bad, check out this creepy Japanese pregnancy doll. It features a naked geisha-looking woman with stretch marks on her stomach.

4. Skinny Bones

The Bones family was one complete abomination. This life-size plastic skinny boy was by far the creepiest.

5. Avenging Narwhal

The unicorn of the sea isn't as friendly as land unicorns. The story is that narwhal was teased by penguins, so now he's getting his revenge by killing them. I don't like the message this toy is teaching kids.

These next ones should only appear in horror movies. Seriously, like right next to the Annabelle doll.

6. Baby Laugh A Lot

Watch the video below and answer this question: What's creepier, the baby or the way those little girls looked back at the camera. I think this laughing doll's eerie laugh attracted demons.  

7. Hugo: Man of a Thousand Faces

What's worse than someone two-faced? Someone thousand-faced. This lifelike doll was produced in 1975 and came with a bunch of accessories, like a goatee and sideburns.

8. Jack in the Box

If you have a fear of surprises, you probably owned a Jack in the Box. This one below is not as creepy as some of the others, but it's still quite nerve-racking.

9. Little Miss No Name

Imagine walking in your room and having these faces greet you. All you have to do is look into those big red eyes and you'll be headed to therapy a few years later.

10. Ouija Game

The spirit board is still sold by major retailers like Walmart. They describe it as "mysterious and mystifying," but the slogan should be "you'll never be the same again." This "game" has been around for years, and many culture strongly believe it's not a game, but a portal to another world.

30 Toys From The Sears Wishbook We All Wanted Under Our Christmas Tree 30 Years Ago

I think we can all agree that one of the best things to do while growing up was digging through the Sears Wishbook to try and make our Christmas lists.It was around this time every year that we started to get really serious about it, even though Christmas was still a ways off. We obviously needed a lot of time to plan out our lists for Santa Claus, and we weren't about to make the same mistake as the year before and forget to send one! The Wishbook was an important part of that and while it may not

There were always toys when you were a kid that seemed to be more important than the rest. There were some that you couldn't go to bed without, there were others that you spent months begging your parents for, and then there were a few that were just staples, readily available where ever you went. No matter which friends house you were at or doctor's office waiting room you were in, there were some that just seemed to be everywhere.

With Sears Filing For Bankruptcy, Let's Never Forget How Amazing The Wish Book Was

If you celebrate Christmas, then you know that the most important and exciting day of the year is the one whenever your Sears Wish Book arrives. That's when you know that it's time to start writing out your Christmas list, comparing all the potential toys that you might consider. Pages and pages of Barbies, Lego, and board games to dream about, before writing them down on your letter to Santa. The Wish Book is one of those things that you never really stop looking at. You just keep on flipping through the pages any time you get bored, probably because

Toys 'R' Us Is Coming Back With A New Name, But Not Everyone Is Happy About It

Last week we learned that the lenders responsible for Toys 'R' Us had canceled their bankruptcy auction, meaning that they were planning on attempting a comeback. And already the company has revealed their new plans, but not everyone is happy about it. The Toys 'R' Us branding, including the name and mascots, were retained by the lenders. While the company couldn't make it work, the investors think they've figured out a way to make more money, and it involves bringing back the iconic giraffe. Geoffrey the Giraffe has been the Toys 'R' Us mascot for a long time, but now

Toys 'R' Us May Be Back In Business With Investors Planning A Revival

Remember how devastating it was just a few months ago when Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy and shut all their doors in America? It was like a piece of our childhood had died and we could do nothing but sit and watch it happen. No more biking through the aisles, no more seeing walls of Lego sets, and no more setting off all of the noisy toys at once before running away. Sure, the employees hated us all, but it was a part of growing up, and it was sad to think that the children of the future wouldn't
