20 Ghastly Garbage Pail Kids – The 80s Baby’s Precursor to Horror

Weird Wendy (AKA Haggy Maggie): It’s unlikely that Weird Wendy ever sent any children into fear induced seizures. The truth is, this is one of the more mellow characters of the bunch. Just the same, there was a serious degree of classic charm in this safe but familiar depiction of an age old witch.

Corroded Carl (AKA Crater Chris): I’m guessing Carl was supposed to be suffering from one hellacious case of acne. It sure as shit didn’t look like that, however. It looks more like Carl took a dip in the same vat of toxic waste that Melvin Ferd tumbled into before emerging the melting man… or, you know, the Toxic Avenger.

Creepy Carol (AKA Scary Carrie): You’ve got to love the GPK’s tribute to Frankenstein’s Monster. Sure Carol comes up a tad short in the originality department. But she makes up for it with her superb reading material!

Leaky Lindsay (AKA Messy Tessie): Every elementary school has one of those kids who can’t quite figure out how to get a napkin up to his nose to clean up the glistening stream of snot working its way toward his upper lip. It makes sense that The Garbage Pail Kids would find a way to exploit that poor bastard. This Leaky Lindsay character though, she just takes things to a sordid new level. That really is gross.

Hot Scott (AKA Luke Warm): Come on now, the devil? In a damn diaper? Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
