Demonic Toys is a series of films that center on a collection of seemingly harmless playthings that are in reality the avatars of powerful demons from hell who seek to cause havoc in the mortal world.

Produced through Full Moon Features, the first film in the series, Demonic Toys, was released direct-to-video in 1992. It was followed by three additional films, all of which have crossovers with other Full Moon properties. The series has also led to a comic book series that was released through Full Moon Pictures and Eternity Comics, and a television spin-off series based on Baby Oopsie, which started airing on August 27, 2021. Season 2, titled Murder Dolls is set to premiere on July 15, 2022.^[1] as well as other merchandise.

Full Moon Features, then Full Moon Entertainment, released the first film in the series, Demonic Toys, direct-to-video in 1992.^[3] Directed by Peter Manoogian, the script was written by David S. Goyer and featured a score by the composer, Richard Band. His brother, Charles Band served as one of the film’s producers.^[4]

The following year, Full Moon Features released a follow-up, Dollman vs. Demonic Toys, which crosses over with the films Bad Channels and Dollman. Footage from the first Demonic Toys, as well as from Dollman and Bad Channels, were used in the creation of the movie.^[5]

In 2004, Full Moon Features released a third film, Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys, which is a crossover with the Puppet Master series. The film was created as a made-for-TV movie for the SyFy Channel as a Christmas horror special.^[6] Filming took place in Bulgaria and had a limited budget.^[7]

In 2010, a direct sequel to the first film was released titled Demonic Toys: Personal Demons. Screenwriter and director William Butler has stated that the first rendition of the movie’s script used Los Angeles, California as a setting. This was re-written to utilize Charles Band’s castle in Italy and also include a character from Band’s 1997 film Hideous!, Dr. Lorca. Most of the filming was completed in Italy and the remainder was shot in the United States, using a cavern set used in the television series, Weeds.^[8][9]

A television series, titled Baby Oopsie, premiered in August 2021 on the Full Moon Features App and on Amazon Prime Video, as a spin-off and semi-sequel of Demonic Toys 2.^[10] Though it was at first thought to be the fifth film in the series, the conflict was resolved when Full Moon uploaded a trailer for Season 2 on April 25, 2022.^[11]
