Behind the bears, there's this legend (which is a quote from the Etsy store of their spiritual father, Lee Howard):
"Somewhere out there, in an unknown location, there exists a mental institution that has long since been shut down, but while fully operational, was a place where nightmares were born. When the patients would get 'out of sorts' they were placed into the Quiet Room. Nobody knows exactly what happens in that room, but when (or IF) the patients come out, they come out with a missing body parts (hair, teeth, fingers), and less of a soul. With them comes a new Quiet Room Bear. Some think it's the room itself that instructs the designs of these small nightmares, but nobody is certain. Each 'session' in the Quiet Room produces a new bear."
All of the bears are one of a kind, so you always have a unique bear. The best part is that the artist takes special requests and some people have even sent him items to put into the bear. This way you can statisfy your own twisted mind. So if you really want a genuine horror bear, forget Teddy Scares and have a look into the QuiET RoOM if you dare! If you're interested in seeing more of these bears, look at the Facebook page (they have great giveaways!) or the Etsy shop and find them on Twitter.
