Creepy Clown Candy Machines

This Gumball Machine Could Scare Away All Your Trick-Or-Treaters

One would think a clown and gumball machine would supposed to be fun, delightful entertainment for children, but this cannibal candy dispenser is the opposite of that. From Jesse Wroblewski of the Toy Creator blog, the toy is designed to look like what is undoubtedly the most terrifying clown I have ever seen.

The gum is held in what would be the clown's skull. A small and scary sign also reads 'free candy.' Ideal for handing out treats on Halloween, the gumball machine was made out of an old Halloween mask. Where the cannibal clown's nose should be is where the candy or bubblegum balls emerge from. Some blue LED lighting was also used to embellish the upcycled toy.
