The Other Teddy Bear

I love teddy bears, they are so cuddly and so cute! If you want to know about the history of Teddy Bears, check out Wikipedia’s definition of the Teddy Bear.

But do you know that not all teddy bears are huggable? As a mom of two, I constantly search the web for interesting toys. That is how I came about a website called Teddy Scares with all these freaky teddy bears, not huggable nor cute and definitely not for my little ones.

Meet the bears:

Mazey Podge

Mazey was created from scraps of other soft and luxurious items. Over and over the seamstress repeated how magnificent her toy would be, “This will be the most beautiful bear!” When the last stitch of thread was sewn, she gasped with horror and died. Brainwashed by things her maker would say, Mazey now sits in a satin lined hatbox staring into her mirror for hours on end.

Rita Mortis

Rita is quick to battle whatever gets in her way. Out of control, she’s a storm of anger. Before she gives a beat down with her bat, her bulging red eyes look directly into her victim and a smirk runs across her face. Rita was always known to stand out from the crowd. Her parents ignored her unruly behavior, thinking it was just a phase. Her death was a relief for those who could no longer deal with the troubled youth. Her family sighed, spit on her grave, and walked away. It was the most attention they had ever given her.

Abnormal Cyrus

Cyrus was tormented as a child. He spent his days drawing pictures of people with no heads. Monday morning, his body was found hanging from his favorite tree. It was obvious that things would turn out this way. Always alone, rejected by society.

Edwin Morose

Edwin started his life as a love token. He served most his days on red satin sheets with the sweet smells of perfume and a daily hug from his beautiful owner. Then the day came when loyal Edwin was thrown into the trash. He cried himself asleep every night surrounded by the comfort of dried up roses, torn up memories and old love letters.

Granger Evermore

Granger is a captive of his own evil deeds, the voices in his head constantly reminds him what he is. He tries to find redemption in himself, a task far out of reach. His body is his jail cell, trapped behind the steel bars and barbed wire of his mind.

Hester Golem

Hester is labeled as a geek. He rebuilds his grey matter by keeping his snout buried in books. Cursed with a brain that never stops analyzing, his mind is brimming with numbers and equations. Hester Golem is 6” tall and freakishly plush. He comes dressed in a tattered jacket and pants. A gaping hole in the center of his chest is infested with slimy bugs. They use his body as a home and he uses them for companionship. Straight from the morgue, he arrives with a toe tag and is zipped up in a body bag.
