In 1998 a revolutionary cute interactive toy was launched. Most Furby owners had hours of fun, but for some the experience was closer to something from a Halloween horror movie. Many conspiracy theories followed, the toy was a spying device, was controlling our children, even had a hive mind. We investigate how a toy that looked like the cute version of Gizmo from Gremlins (there's a conspiracy about that as well) could build such a chilling reputation.
