SPOOKY HORROR
Stairwell 4/3
Spooky Horror is one of the many fascinating genres that not only appeals to adults but also children alike. Although the nature of horror genres often feature fearsome monsters and creepy paranormal creatures for grown-ups looking for a thrill, spooky characters portrayed in cartoon animations for children are often filled with comedic elements. By presenting spooky characters in a friendly deposition, children will learn that supernatural characters such as monsters, vampires and ghouls are nothing to be afraid of.
In this Spooky Horror collection, the selection of toys will introduce some of the monsters featured in blockbuster films, revisit favourite paranormal characters and explore a range of spooky toys produced during Halloween.
