| Spooky plush and pet toys | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This includes all stuffed toys and rubber squeaky toys for pets or people. I figure they all go together because they're all designed to take abuse from small mammals of some sort. I don't own a dog and wouldn't want one, but they get some awesome halloween stuff. Seriously, do your spooky shopping at Petsmart. Just check out a few of the chew toys here... they're often a lot cooler and more unique than anything intended for human beings, they're cheap, they're durable, and I suppose you could chew on them. You know, if you wanted to... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Squeaky haunted house dog toy (2002) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I love how they condensed the concept of en entire haunted house into one rubber toy maybe five or six inches tall. Little house, huge ghost, it balances out nicely. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mummy Dogbone (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As a dog toy, this makes perfect sense. Taken out of context, however, it's just a mummified cyclopean bone happily razzing us. The world is an enigma sometimes. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hartz "Maddogs" monster dog toys (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Now these are awesome. Roughly five inches tall and made of flimsy, hollow vinyl. I found them one early october at wal-mart, and wound up buying a couple extras throughout the month. I now have two of each, though the Brain is my favorite. I mean, come on, it's an alien brain on a flying saucer, in squeak-toy form! These things are just completely unique, and look great on a shelf of other wacky rubbish. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Talking Tombstone (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This dog toy is just a soft fabric tombstone (I think I'd like the same writing on my own) that either screams, giggles, or shouts "happy halloween!" in a fairly funny voice when a part inside is struck. Too bad these are made to just be chewed up and thrown out, so there's no way to replace the batteries. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Oooky Kooky Spookies" (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| These ugly little freaks are named Witch Hazel and Count Wimpula. There's also a cat and maybe some others, but I got these at goodwill so I can't be sure. Their tags have little poems about them, and a line from Count Wimpula's reads "Spiders, snakes and spider mites, will make him scream with girlish fright". You definately don't get enough toys that mention spider mites. According to the tags, they were distributed at target in 2002. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Some Kinda Spook (2002) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Another pet toy, and one I really regret not buying any more of. I absolutely love this weirdass thing, and only saw it in 2002. The head is a hard, hollow vinyl, while the body is cloth with a squeaker inside. He wears a pink dogbone button of himself smoking in a top hat (?!?!) and his hood conceals where a bat apparently crashed through his skull. His entire shroud is removable and he's about 6-8 inches tall. If ANYONE can get me another one of these (or point me to where I can find one) e-mail me. I'll be eternally grateful. Seriously, this has got to be one of my favorite earthly posessions. |

| Haunted Tree (2002) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This was found at another goodwill. It looks like it probably came from a crane machine, but if anyone knows something I don't, feel free to e-mail. A foot tall, it's made of fake leathery material with bright green hair that came out much paler and more blueish in the photograph. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sparkly Blinking Rat (2002) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The white spots in this rather poor photo are reflection from the glittery bits of fuzz that happen to make this thing incredibly itchy to the touch. It's a foot tall and stands up easily, with leathery black claws/toenails, a sparkly red bow tie, and battery powered eyes that flash red when you squeeze its left paw. It actually came from a grocery store. A bat, owl and spider were also available but not nearly as interesting. They didn't have ties. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Yelling Pumpkin Man (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A friend won this from a crane machine just after halloween. Instantly one of my favorites, he stands just a hair above a foot tall and he's fat so he looks pretty big. Interestingly, his hands are sewn to his cheeks in what could be one of several possible expressions... has someone offended him? Is he snickering at the misfortune of others? Is he shouting for a friend in the other room? The world may never know. He's made by "Sugar Loaf" especially for crane machines. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shaking Halloween Giggler (2002) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Only about three inches tall, this soft grim reaper head has a pullstring at the base which makes it vibrate (on a table it'll spin around) and giggle creepily for a while, after which it shouts "happy halloween!" in the most delightfully insane voice ever. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Horror Eyes Gum Pals (2003) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sold at Joann Fabrics back in 2003 and roughly the size of beanie babies, these guys are the PERFECT halloween toy. They're well-made, they come holding bags of bubblegum eyeballs (four apiece) and by the power of velcro, you can RIP THEIR HEADS OFF! The tags alone are worth the $2.99. While the psycho-looking pumpkin is the coolest, the cat has all the weird factor. Detachable heads make perfect sense for pumpkin ghosts and Frankenstein's monster, but a CAT? That's just horrible. Beautifully, beautifully horrible. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
