Squishy Witch
The 1960s gave creepy kids a ton of monster toys from puppets to floppy beasties, model kits, and figures of all shapes and sizes. Moving into the ’70s, the designs of these creatures got downright bizarre. Dare I say … nightmare-inducing! Sure, it’s horror merchandise, but this was all meant to be more “spooky boo” than emotionally scarring. As if to counteract this, the ’80s brought us our favorite fiends with wobbly eyes, wiggling heads and the mushiest of faces, so you could grab their cheeks and say, “Whoooooo is the scariest witch? You are!!! Oh, yes!!! My creepy baby.“
Check back here every day until Halloween for more unspeakable playthings!
