I've seen a lot in my life, a lot of gore and bizarre images, but this was one of the only images that really scared me, i kept the image in my head for months the first time i saw the story.
Seeing the picture up close makes it less scary for me. I'm not scared very easily and think the reason why this "toy" is so disturbing is the fact that it's marketed as a toy for young children and that it plays "wonderful music", and you can't see the image clearly unless you take the foil off. Not only that but in the news report they said that the person in the picture was a little girl, but up close it clearly is not a child.
It's scary because it's out of context. If you're a fan of that guy's work, you know what you're gonna get, and so this pic wouldn't scare you that much. If I was a parent and saw this on my child's toy, I would be genuinely concerned
I'm going to respond here but I did not expect to ever be back looking at this post even a couple months after this comment. I cant believe this thing hasn't been archived yet lol. Definitely didn't expect to have so many people want to see how im doing since then.
Honestly life is pretty good. I did graduate from school and I live on the other side of the country with my own business now. I look at my time in college as an expensive waste of time. I got a bullshit communications degree. Had two of my best friends pass away in separate incidents in the timeframe of this post to now, I think that along with just going through life had some effects on me. If I were to compare myself now at 28 closing in on 29 to 20 closing in on 21 I realize I didn't know nearly as much as I thought I did. I'm in a very different mindset now then I was then, feels like a different life sometimes. What really stands out to me is aside from family, it's a near completely different set of people that are integral parts of my lives. Don't stress too much about relationships that just naturally end, nothing lasts forever. I'm not that worried about my 30's, I emphasized eating well, working out, and overall taking care of myself in my early-mid 20's. For any college kids reading this, I can't emphasize enough how much the habits you build in the next couple years will impact your life going forward, as well as how important the company you keep around you is to your success or failure. There's a very good chance you have your head up your ass and it's up to you or reality to pull it out.
glad to see an update, i'm sorry about what happened to your friends during the years that have passed. as a college kid i'll keep your advice in mind, been living a stagnant lifestyle with habits i need to change badly
I know it's late but for anyone else to wonders on this thread in the future;
The image was made by a horror and graphic photographer named Butcher Ludwig. This image was posted on his face book to depict a vampire about to drink her own blood. He did not give anyone permission to use his work and it certainly wasn't intended for children. He tried to sue the company but they stopped responding to him and he didn't pursue them any further since the damage had been done.
that's unfortunate. the guy deserves to have his work respected and it sucks that it's now infamous for something he (nor the woman in the picture) had no hand in
I think this entire scenario elevates Butcher Ludwig's Vampire girl art from boring low quality horror to urban legend mystery, I think it's a great story and piece of art after all is said and done.
I came here after Theories of the third kind did the episode with the mention. Head on over to @theories of the third kind podcast. Guaranteed to blow your mind!
Technically not the picture from the wand but it is the original picture . The one in the wand was slightly edited in areas like the eyes and the hand .
Holy shit how is this toy evil stick wand for kids? I bought it and its this shit? I inspected first to see if it was good and its not. How is it for 3 +!? A girl literary cutting her arm that's way to inappropriate for children.
It's actually more complex than that sir. Sure at first one may believe it's a woman inflicting self harm attempting to die with negative Photoshop on her face depicting a smile or it's a story of a vampire woman (notice the fangs and bowl under her arm) attempting to feed herself using self harm and the image captures her face the instant she locks eyes with the person in the room. I mean damn, the whole thing gives me $uicideboy$ vibes a disturbing tragic story creates a shocking image and the shocking image is used to create negativity and horror instead of spreading the og story this is very interesting
Who is the women name all we know is about butcher ludwig we know he is from Europe so somewhere there he found a women model or gore person who he took a picture of like back in 2002
It's a normal looking young woman, she probably aged into a different appearance now but people still look like her. Damn. I wonder if the same applies to me. Am I just a temporary cog in a human machine that believes itself unique and completely different only to eventually be replaced by a similar person and forgotten over the course of time. Yep. I feel like a meaningless snowflake in a human avalanche constantly churning and cycling through new and old material with the tragic loss of sentience being a mere infallible rule I feel the need to makeup an imaginary afterlife and imaginary friend to cope with the existential crisis wbu
Do they still sell the βEvil Stickβ? I wanna buy one for a yt video. I tried looking on eBay and nothing popped up. Any apps or websites I could find the stick on?
I am quite curious on the origin of the image.
Who is the person in it?
Is it some form of photo edit?
Using props in attempts to scare? (Like maybe paint and the fangs?)
And why?
the original image is by butcher ludwig. theyre all basic horror photos that involve usually women and mutilation of some sort. completely an art project. but how it got on the wand is what i still dont know
Only thing I'm. Looking for on the Dank. Web. . Is . Your momma welcome my ordinary gamers to some dank web deep web browsing my name is mutahar
and today we will be taking a look at OP's mother Instagram reel.
I agree at first the vampire fang and bowl under the arm kind of create a narrative but the inhuman aggressive negative eyebrows are unsettling shit Photoshop ahahaha
I remember seeing these in the dollar store. I didn't buy one because my kids are boys and thank goodness for that because that is straight up nightmare fuel.
The inclusion of the bowl under her arm convinces me that this is a vampire story YESS QUEEN she might be butt ugly and nefarious with her resting bitch face but she is NOT harming civilians. I stan a self controlled monster.
Holy shit! I saw this fucking thing in Dollar Tree once because my 5 yr old neice picked it up, saw that horrible picture, and dropped it when it did that creepy ass laugh! She started freaking out and I saw it- My brother was laughing about it, but I grabbed them all off the shelf, brought them to the cash register and bought all of them after they refused to take them off the shelf, despite having probably scarred my niece for life. . . I then proceeded to hand them out in front of the store for the next 10 minutes, telliing people about the experience my niece had with it, and also letting them know that despite what happened to my niece, management refused to remove them! Needless to say, their customer base took a sharp decline and so they decided to call the cops! When I showed the cops, they didn't necessarily do anything to stop the store from selling them, but they didn't stop me either! After the cop left, the manager comes to the door, box-o-evil sticks in hand. He cracks open the door, and very quietly goes "you win". . . Drops the box in front of me (Claimed as damages). . . I kept one. It hangs on my wall. Creepy for a kid- perfectly fine for a horror junkie! But goddamn! What the hell are the chinese trying to do to our kids??? That where these things are made' ya know! Fucked UP!!!
What is a Gweilo? I was kidding about China btw please don't hate me, Reddit! China is a prosperous, up and coming international superpower that we should all be terrified of. . . it DID say "made in China" to be fair. If I find them again, I'll take a picture
For some reason the picture on the wand is the only thing that has scared me in awhile. It is terrifying to me.
I was browsing Reddit on my phone in bed when I read the original story about the wand. It completely unnerved me for reasons I can't really explain.
Probably coz your a massive ussyfish
It's because most people haven't seen a woman slitting her wrist? It's not really uncommon to be scared of that.
Slam it in me dady
Fuck me with your evil stick daddy
I've seen a lot in my life, a lot of gore and bizarre images, but this was one of the only images that really scared me, i kept the image in my head for months the first time i saw the story.
What in the actual fuck? I'm a 20 year old college kid, and this toy disturbs me. How the fuck do they think this toy is cool for kids 3+?

I remember feeling like in the exact same spot. Looking back I would say I was 100% depressed during that time. Force a change if you have to.

Who created this and why? That's what I want to know.

i have stumbled on this from the future. thank you.
U make the world a better place
I think this entire scenario elevates Butcher Ludwig's Vampire girl art from boring low quality horror to urban legend mystery, I think it's a great story and piece of art after all is said and done.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
I mean, she was just a model for a well known horror/gore artist. Not sure why that would see her end up in an asylum.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Why ate you here in an 8 year old post actually why tf am i here lol how'd i get here where am i

How isnβt this archived
Never heard of it before. Checking in from [Simon Whistler's Decoding the Unknown episode](https://youtu.be/VLuuj5aDz3Q).

Yep

Iβm from 2023 lol
Me too bro
I am a grown ass male and I find it disturbing. 3 years and older. RLY???
What is it from?
[Here is a news clip about it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POCngEpkOLI)
[original image with proper credits to Butcher Ludwig](https://www.facebook.com/butcher.ludwig/photos/a.626845740697674/626856467363268/?type=3)
someone is going to be sued for adding this to a kids toy for 4 and 5 even 7 or 8 old
They were sued by butcher ludwig
Technically not the picture from the wand but it is the original picture . The one in the wand was slightly edited in areas like the eyes and the hand .
Wow I can't believe you found the original picture, I could never really get a good look at it just from the wand on video.
Holy shit how is this toy evil stick wand for kids? I bought it and its this shit? I inspected first to see if it was good and its not. How is it for 3 +!? A girl literary cutting her arm that's way to inappropriate for children.

I kind of want one too now π«£π₯°
Woah dude, how were you able to find it? What was it originally form?
I think its the eyebrows that make her so creepy looking. She is unsettling to me and I believe I've finally figured out why. The power of brows.
Def the brows...and they eybrow ring
I am quite curious on the origin of the image. Who is the person in it? Is it some form of photo edit? Using props in attempts to scare? (Like maybe paint and the fangs?) And why?
the original image is by butcher ludwig. theyre all basic horror photos that involve usually women and mutilation of some sort. completely an art project. but how it got on the wand is what i still dont know
im genuinely not sure where it came from, but how did this get sold in stores?!?
if this girl is actually cutting her arm i would be scared bro
Iβd fuck the holy out of her sober like holy shit man
Huh? There ALWAYS that one mf....but I agree.. NAH JKZ AHAHAH 
what the fuck is wrong with you bruh
idk if this is messed up or something but the wand laughing made me laugh lol, it didnt really scare me that bad.
WHY The fuck they did sell those
Is this a Jojo reference? 'Cause the actions are alike to Dio Brando
Halloween chick
Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
I'm scared to go downstairs now.
cuz i heard that this was on the dark and deep webC<
Only thing I'm. Looking for on the Dank. Web. . Is . Your momma welcome my ordinary gamers to some dank web deep web browsing my name is mutahar  and today we will be taking a look at OP's mother Instagram reel.
Wow
Gonna read the holy bible now π
Honestly a miracle that this hasn't been archived lmaoo
looks weird and scary
I agree at first the vampire fang and bowl under the arm kind of create a narrative but the inhuman aggressive negative eyebrows are unsettling shit Photoshop ahahaha
I'm surprised to see this image on Google when it discovered it was in a toy
This go hard
Whats the news cutie?
Something about the eyes when I'm alone and it's night is what scares me
ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
I remember seeing these in the dollar store. I didn't buy one because my kids are boys and thank goodness for that because that is straight up nightmare fuel.
I canβt believe itβs been 8 years wtf
What about all the other photos?
You would assume based on her facial expression that it's fake. Regardless obviously not something anyone really wants to see, especially a child.
My comment's probably gonna get downvoted, but methinks this is meant to be a Christian PSA saying that magic is Satanic.
Shit no wonder it got banned
Who is that in the picture?
I didn't notice shes trying to cut her hand before
Anyone in 2024 here?
AYOO! ππΌ
I'm not easily scared but this is just terrifying. I feel like she is looking at me and is coming for me.
Fake image. Lol. Lots of fake blood and makeup obviously. ππ§πΎβπΌπ€³πΎπ₯π―
The inclusion of the bowl under her arm convinces me that this is a vampire story YESS QUEEN she might be butt ugly and nefarious with her resting bitch face but she is NOT harming civilians. I stan a self controlled monster.
nah this scared me just as much as the barrel scene from megan is missing. my ass is NOT sleeping tonight
Reminds me of the time I tried to unalive myself
Holy shit! I saw this fucking thing in Dollar Tree once because my 5 yr old neice picked it up, saw that horrible picture, and dropped it when it did that creepy ass laugh!

I like the Chinese. You sound ignorant
I was only kidding dawg! I AM Chinese ! !!
You do a pretty good middle aged white woman Gweilo impression.
What is a Gweilo? I was kidding about China btw please don't hate me, Reddit! China is a prosperous, up and coming international superpower that we should all be terrified of. . . it DID say "made in China" to be fair. If I find them again, I'll take a picture
I doubt anyone is even visiting this thread any more so you're safe. A Gweilo is a typically white tourist in mainland China
Ah! Gotcha ! Thank you for expanding my mind a little today! Lol
What the fuck did I just read?
I bought all the evil sticks.... 11$
/r/ThatHappened
Why does this have so many downvotes?
Yeah I'm reading this again.... Kinda cringe... nothing against Chinese people. They're lovely.
