    Creepy Crawlers used to give me the creeps! I hate bugs, don’t ever take me camping, you’ll want to take me home within  in the first minutes of getting there. When I was in elementary school, the boys used to bring in these nasty looking, bug look-alike things and throw them at us girls. Were they looking for attention? Or, were they just being plain old mean? I guess we were too busy using our Easy-Bake Oven to notice them.

    This toy, along with many others, can be classified as being in the ‘Thingmaker’ category. The toy consists of many mold casts and Plastigoop, which came in multiple colors. After you have poured the goop into the mold, you place it on a hot plate oven and the goop hardens into one of these nasty looking things above.

    The makers of Creepy Crawlers, ToyMax, developed a television show based off theit toy. It was a Saturday Morning Cartoon called Creepy Crawlers, which lasted two seasons, which consisted of 23 episodes and a line of 12 action figures that each came with a metal mold to make unique accessories for the figure.

    The show focused around Chris Carter, a normal kid who was interested in magic. He stumbles upon a green box of green super-ooze which, when opened, released the five Creepy Crawler Commandos. The evil magician in the show, Gugengrime, steals the goo and makes his own army of Creepy Crawler monsters who help him try to take over the world. Chris and his new found friends must work together to try and save the planet from Gugengrime.

      heads up: take an easy bake oven, paint it orange, and put slime in it.
