This possessed baby with evil red light-up LED eyes is one of the creepiest looking things I have ever seen, and I'm sure it's even creepier in action!

When someone walks by this [bedeviled baby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-chucky), the motion-activated head spins around, its evil-looking LED eyes light up and it makes eerie noises.

I suspect this would be ideal for positioning by your doorstep to freak out [candy-seeking kids this Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ring-candy-cam).

**Implications** - The combination of [cute and gruesome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading) continues to be an interesting and eye-catching way for product designs to remain memorable.
