Slashers (and Their Victims) Imagined As 80’s Fisher-Price Toys!
I caught this on Twitter this morning but haven’t had a chance to share until now, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t worth the wait.
Minion Factory imagined some of our favorite horror films as Fisher-Price toys!
Dubbed “Fisher-Price Adventure People Killers,” you’ll find custom 80’s toys from Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, featuring Jason Voorhies, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Leatherface, and their many victims – not to mention absolutely gorgeous artwork (I love the price sticker for added effect).
It’s a BLAST FROM THE PAST with the Fisher-Price adventure people. Some of you might remember these from your childhood but probably don’t remember them being so bloody gory. That is my fault, this mash-up just popped into my brain one afternoon and I just had to make them. It is a literally my youth mashed together with toys I have played with as a kid and my love of the horror movies from teen years.
I also chopped up some Backgrounds from “Scoody-doo: Mystery Incorporated” and put them in the illustration to make my drawings look better since My BG skills are lacking. And before anybody asks, they are done entirely in Photoshop and are not real custom figures.
I would absolutely die for the Myers and Krueger victim…

Rated “R” ‘The Little Mermaid’ Horror Movie Coming Soon; Watch the Trailer
Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.
Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.
The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”
In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.
“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”
Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.
You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
