I am in Australia. When I was younger (around 2007-2012) I watched a cartoon on ABC that was either Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids or something quite similar.

The premise was a frightening puppet that became sentient (like Chucky). I have a vivid memory of the final scene in which the main character (a boy) is turned into a puppet himself, either through possession or otherwise. I distinctly remember the puppet vigorously shaking the main character too.

I have found similar concepts in episodes of Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids, however, the episodes were animated, and I remember the show I’m thinking off, not being animated. So it’s likely to be a different show/movie altogether.

Also, I am pretty sure it’s not Slappy the Dummy from Goosebumps. I went through and watched episodes including Slappy the Dummy, and did not find the episode I was thinking of.

Please help, this gave me nightmares for years, and I really want to conquer my fear once and for all.
