Zombified Teddy Bear Plushies

These Zombie Teddy Bears by Undead Teds are Terrifying

— January 28, 2013 — Life-Stages
For those who love blood, gore and everything in between, these zombie teddy bears by Undead Teds are the perfect companion to cuddle up next to.

Made by Phillip Blackman, the plush toys are definitely not made for the faint hearted. Each of the bears have been customized to feature missing body parts and exposed and gory ligaments. Of course, it wouldn't be quite complete without a fair amount of blood smeared all across the teddy bears once perfectly trim fur.

For those interested, you have a wide variety to choose from including a bear with eaten-away face, which exposes its jaw and teeth as well as a shattered skull exposing brain bear. Though these intricately made zombie teddy bears may be appealing to some, don't be surprised if you wake up in the dead of the night with the teddy bear staring right back at you.
