Creepy, Crawly Pleasures at Toy Fair

Teddy Scares: Meet Erwin Morose, part of the Teddy Scares plush doll "Bearly Alive" series, and not quite as friendly as your Sesame Street pals. Still, Erwin has his own charm. According to his bio, he's a greeting card writer who died in 1973, and his goal is "to be loved." Perhaps you'd prefer his plush toy friends, the Dumpster-diving Rita Mortis or the one-eyed Abnormal Cyrus, who likes to count cracks in the ceiling.

"Fear Factor" Candy: Kid candy has always played up the gross-out factor. But you never had to worry about gummy worms being made of real worms — until now. Brand New's "Fear Factor" Candy includes a whole line of sweets including "Crunchy Larva" — an item made from 100 percent real bug larva in barbecue, cheddar and spicy Mexican flavors. For the less adventurous, there are "Fear Factor" gummy worms in a sour sugar dirt that makes them looked pulled right out of the ground, and gummy frog eggs, extra slimy on the outside with a crunchy bone center, served with blood-red candy dipping sauce. Of course, some kids realize that on the TV show, they pay you to eat those things.
