The Teletubbies Sun Baby (Teletubbies, 1997)

The smiling baby sun from Teletubbies was meant to be cheerful, but its constant laughter and giant face unsettled many viewers. Seeing a real baby’s face floating in the sky felt strange and unnatural. It watched everything below, which made some kids feel like they were never alone.

Noseybonk (Jigsaw, 1979)

Noseybonk from Jigsaw never spoke, which made him worse. He wore a white mask with a long nose and a frozen smile, then silently acted out scenes. His calm movements and blank stare made it feel like he was always watching. Kids had no idea what he would do next.
