Weapon of Choice: I mean, I'm happy Bruce is helping the kid out, but I'm just expecting him to pay for a hospital, not a turkey dinner, but that's me being an annoying prick.

Super random question here but you wouldn't happen to know any creepy/ horror-themed plush toys would you?

I absolutely would, because I have a few of my own!  Creepy plushies are the BEST plushies!  Let’s see now:

Skelanimals, Furry Bones, UglyDolls (they’re getting their own movie!  Ice Bat is my favorite, and I have three of them!), Kindergoths (I doubt they still make Kindergoths, but I have the little smiling green guy, vampire, and zombie kitty from the first wave)…

Hugstrosity (I doubt they make these anymore, either–and I really want one!), Fugglers (I NEED ONE), Creepy Cuddlers…

WearBears and Terror Teds (they haven’t made these since the 80′s.  They remind me a lot of My Pet Monster, who’s another great creepy plush, so long as you get the original, like I have)…

Teddy Scares, Terror Teds (unrelated to the 80′s toys), Gloomy Bear (they come in many more colors besides pink)…

Living Dead Doll regular plushes, Living Dead Doll Ragdolls, Pocket Goths (designed by Aurelio Voltaire, who’s designed a few other toys that you can see at his site)…

Bondage Bearz (I dunno, I just thought they fit in with the rest of these), Feisty Pets (you squeeze ‘em and they get pissed off.  H2O Delirious has the teddy bear)…

And then there are licensed horror toys from Funko (the first two), and–of course–there have been new The Nightmare Before Christmas plush toys every year for nearly two decades (the ones shown are the earliest collection from the Disney store.  I have the Sally, as well as another vintage Disney Sally with a removable arm, and two Sally plushes I got last year and this year at Walgreens).

Hot Topic has had many exclusive creepy plush toys, of which I have Betty Batwings, Tragedy…

Jaded Jenny, and Darby (the punk teddy bear).

There are many Cthulhu plushes out there.  I personally have Summer Fun Cthulhu.  I call him “Bhob”.

There are undoubtedly going to be plushes for many franchises out there that would fall into the spectrum of “creepy” or “horror”, like the cacodemon and pain elemental from the DOOM franchise, or the various creepy critters from Minecraft.  However, I think these might be too numerous to name.

There are some creepier plushes included in otherwise normal lines, like Zombie Pusheen, Meowchi’s Grim Reaper, Violet the goth teddy from Swear Bears (there’s also an emo teddy, but I don’t know the name), and “Crazy Fingers” from the Grateful Dead bear collection (I have Casey Jones and Cosmic Charlie.  They’re so cute!).  Hello Kitty has had more crossovers than I can even begin to name, including an adorable skeletal Kitty for something called “The Singing Bone”.  Ty has been coming out with Halloween beanies for well over a decade (as a personal tradition, I’ve gotten a bat beanie every single year for the past decade–this year’s is gorgeous--look at how sparkly he is!).

Otherwise, this time of year is the perfect time to find creepy/horror plushes from various manufacturers.    Sugar Loaf (a subsidiary of Kellytoys, I think?) has not only made horror villain plushes, but they made these adorable plush calaveras, of which I have the green, yellow, and blue ones:

I’m sure there are many more creepy/horror toys out there, but hopefully this list is a good starting point.  Happy hunting!  I hope you find a spooky critter to share your Halloween with!  :D
