"this thing that you loved as a child actually has a really dark secret" is actually incredibly cliché. So I wouldn't call it way better.

I haven't read 1999 though, so maybe it's different than what I'm expecting.

Still though, one of the most cliché creepypasta plots is:

Protagonist as young child gets toy. Protagonist stops playing with toy. Protagonist grows up. Toy hunts down protagonist.
