# Evilstick
**Evilstick** is a battery-operated toy wand, made by an unknown company, that became widely known in November 2014 after some versions were found to contain a hidden picture of a demon or vampire girl cutting herself beneath the foil on its face.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick) The toy was sold cheaply in discount and dollar stores, and the discovery of the disturbing image turned an obscure imitation product into an internet phenomenon.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick) • [2](https://bananaforscale.info/length/objects/toys/evilstick)

## Appearance and function
The top of the wand resembles a flower, with a reflective mylar foil cutout covering its face. Pressing the button, or peeling away the foil, reveals a monster or anime girl picture at the flower's center. The handle carries swirl details and a heart-shaped button, and the wand came in orange, pink, white, and yellow, with some pink wands appearing orange under specific lighting.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick)
Pressing the button lights the picture behind the foil while playing a cackling sound that also appears in several other [Halloween](https://www.edgepedia.org/halloween) toys and decorations. Some "good" versions additionally make glitter sounds.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick) The wand is small enough to hold in one hand, with an estimated length of about 30 cm.[2](https://bananaforscale.info/length/objects/toys/evilstick)
## Origin and variants
The toy is a knockoff of the Disney Princess Talking Wand from 2004, and a product called Araneid Stick Gramary shares the same sculpt mold.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick) It was sold primarily in discount and dollar stores in the United States and New Zealand during the early 2010s.[2](https://bananaforscale.info/length/objects/toys/evilstick)
The wand could come with pictures other than the one of the girl cutting herself. Documented variants include fanart of Feena Fam Earthlight, a picture of three angels by illustrator Ruth Morehead with a leafy border and unreadable text, and a picture of Sakura Kinomoto and Kero from the anime *Cardcaptor Sakura*, edited so that Sakura appears to hold the Evilstick. The demo pictures on the card backing use a drawing of Kouyama Mitsuki from *Full Moon Wo Sagashite*.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick)
## The 2014 incident
The toy gained infamy in November 2014, when a buyer found that peeling back the foil sticker revealed a photo of a girl with strange eyes and fangs cutting herself. The fact-checking site Snopes reported the story as not a hoax.[3](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/2000015-final-fantasy-vii-social/70587957) The underlying photograph belongs to the French photographer Butcher Ludwig, edited to include red eyes and a blue background.[1](https://chinafake.fandom.com/wiki/Evilstick)
The incident produced lasting internet lore.
