Fear the Funhouse Presents Toybox of Terror #1

Archie; $3.99

Evelyn Evernever is heartbroken when something terrible happens to her doll and best friend Minerva, and may go to great lengths to get her back. Then Midge is desperate for a best friend, and she finds one in Ch3ryl, an android who will do anything to make her happy. In the last story, Chester Plunkett finds a talking action figure named Plucky that turns out to be a killer birthday present.

Dolls, androids, and action figures come to life for scary hijinks in Archie’s Fear the Funhouse Presents Toybox of Terror. The trio of stories follow kids who are just looking for friendship, but find something sinister instead. They tap into the dark side of kid drama with twists that prove the horror-themed book is better suited for older readers.
