I was reading Thor's posts with pictures of the shrunken heads he's doing. Got me thinking of my creepy crawler set with the shrunken head mold. I put creepy crawler in the search box and found this forum. I wouldn't call creepy crawler the worst toy ever. I'd put it up there with the best ever. Here was a toy with metal molds that you could heat up hot enough to brand somebody with. You'd put your goop in and then cook it and when you put the hot mold in water to cool it it made that really cool quench sound. My brothers and I had the mold to make shrunken heads. We spent one whole summer making shrunken head after shrunken head. We put hair on them and they were just the greatest. When I had kids of my own they came out with a new version of the creepy crawler that sucked big time. I think the only way you could hurt yourself with it was a paper cut from the box. No danger no excitement. The goop hardened in some kind of chemical reaction that I'm sure was probably safe enough to eat. What a snoozefest. I wished I had my old creepy crawler set with the shrunken head mold.
