5 toys from the 1980s that still give us nightmares

It was like all the marketers of the world got together sometime in 1981 and just said, "What if we did our best to ruin children?"

And they did it in the most nefarious way possible: disguising movies, music, and toys that were terrifying even for adults as harmless merchandise that every kid should own.

These are the toys that we all remember playing with, yet send an ice-cold chill into our spines every time we recall those memories. The toys from the '80s that STILL give us nightmares.
