Summary

Get ready for a holiday treat that’s anything but merry and bright! In this special Christmas episode of The Box of Oddities, we unwrap a chilling assortment of haunted toy stories just in time for the festive season. Revisit the spine-tingling tales of infamous cursed playthings like Robert the Doll and Annabelle as we delve deeper into their eerie histories and the unsettling mysteries they carry. Hear firsthand accounts from people who claim to have encountered malevolent toy terrors lurking in their attics, basements, and beneath the Christmas tree. It’s a nightmarish twist on the Yuletide spirit—perfect for true believers, skeptics, and anyone craving a dash of holiday horror. Tune in as we discover why some toys are better left unopened, and remember: just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean these dolls will play nice. Learn more about your ad choices.
