Redartz: Did you ever have any toys that creeped you out? And I don't mean Mattel's Creepy Crawlers. Maybe you didn't actually have any (fortunately), but still shudder a bit at the memory of the commercials. The bedroom my brother and I shared held a couple of minor terrors.
The first : we had a building/construction set called "Crazy Ikes". The name alone made me feel a bit uneasy.Then there were the toys themselves; weird yellow headed men with vacant round eyes alongside strange yellow pseudo-animals. Wouldn't doubt we built structures from Lincoln Logs designed to hold these bizarrities hidden inside, away from our sight.
Secondly, my brother had to have an affinity for magic and ventriloquism. So yes, he had a ventriloquist's dummy. Right there in our room. I still have nightmares.
What potentially perilous playthings lurked in your toybox, your closet, or in the eerie phospor glow of your tv set?
