Michael Myers plush toy made by a robot
dice!
Check out the adorable yet creepy Michael Myers plush from Handmade By Robots! This 5-inch tall vinyl figure is designed to look like a knitted toy with a cute tag.
Does your pulse quicken when you see this little fear? Do you feel the delicious thrill of fear, or… do you feel excitement? I find it rather amusing to reduce a ruthless killer to a pocket-sized toy. One might argue that this is a form of psychological displacement. Taking a monster and rendering it is… cute.

But let’s not be fooled by appearances, right? Despite this vinyl form, our friend Michael retains his essence. That blank stare, that symbolic mask, is the canvas on which we project our deepest fears. And the scene! It was me doing a great impression of Hannibal Lecter to sell you this doll. Did it work?

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my horror doll without damaging it?
Before purchasing soap, first look at the tag to see what the manufacturer recommends. In general, the safest approach is to only spot clean as needed. What you can do is soak a soft cloth in mild soap and give yourself a soft, gentle wipe rather than scrubbing roughly (now, you don't want to cause abrasion to the fabric, do you?).
If the tag says machine washable, place the plush in a mesh bag and use cold water on the delicate cycle. Then let it air dry completely before using it again. However, heat drying is not necessary. This is because the fibers can break down quickly.
Are horror dolls suitable for children?
Good question! Some horror dolls have a more goofy, cartoony design that's perfect for children, while others don't so much. A lot depends on the actual plush in your life and the maturity of the child. Check the recommended ages and make sure the plush toys contain overly scary elements that your child may not like. But after about five years, your slightly creepy doll will likely become A-OK. But what if we're talking about a very gory and very disturbing villain? Maybe you won't be leaving those cozy friends in the playroom for a while.
Can horror dolls be part of your home decor?
This is absolutely ridiculous! Horror dolls make great home decorations any time of year, but especially around Halloween. Sprinkle small plush toys with other seasonal decorations, or illuminate larger dolls like Freddy or Pennywise plush toys as the stars of your scary decorations!
