There’s nothing wrong with thinking outside of the box. In fact, in this day and age, the world can always use a bit more creativity. After all, variety is the spice of life. Sometimes, folks get carried away, though. There is something of a line between the fascinating designs, unlike anything you’ve seen before, and the other designs that linger with you because they were just plain old and unsettling. We will look at some creepy designs that arguably tried way too hard to be creative.
1. “What kid wouldn’t love this bendable/poseable mermaid toy?”
“Caught on film?” – u/deleted
“Well it is totally real in that it’s a physical object that you can hold.” – u/theycallmemrmoo
2. “The elf is dead?”
“Eyes are crossed out. That’s how I always know when someone is dead. I should’ve been a coroner.” – u/547217
“I think it’s like a poor attempt at like, getting bonked on the head. Maybe got bonked a bit too hard.” – u/Zehn39
3. “Found this in a beach store.”
“I would 100% buy that and probably regret it afterwards.” – u/HuangBN

6. “Nightmare Nemo.”
“I can see into your soul, Dory.” – u/kurotech
Yes, you could say that Nemo has absolutely seen better days. I mean, hey, it’s hard out there.

“I need this in my living room.” – u/SadPandalorian
12. “Entrance to a restaurant.”
“In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson.” – u/Bigroundcircle
Yeah, if you walked by this restaurant entrance on a late night, you’d do best to keep things moving. Looks just a bit sketchy.
13. “Creepy dog.”
“Looks like it has a riddle for me to solve.” – u/AnnHoangNgo
While unsettling enough, of all the images we’ve ran through in this list so far, this dog isn’t unbearably creepy. Still not the biggest fan of whatever is going on behind those eyes though.
14. “It’s watching me every time I go to McDonalds.”
“It’s judging you.” u/theorangelizard00
Seriously though. This dude might be doing anything but helping out the business.
15. “Hello Kitty power strip.”

20. “This terrifying Christmas tree.”
“That is hilarious. It looks like the mouth moves. Does it sing or something?” – u/howardkinsd
So, yes. To clarify, apparently this Christmas tree that was taken right out of the nightmare factory was built to have its mouth move so that it could talk and/or sing. I’m completely not about it.
21. “Dog with human teeth.”
“I think they have commercials around that theme.” – u/deleted
“Yo, that’s Mr. Peanut Butter.” – u/awkwardnes
