The Ultimate Fear Factor: Dolls

You played with dolls as a child, right? Dolls can be fun… or they can be the ultimate fear factor. You know what I mean. Hard plastic eyes that you could swear are staring at you. So you move to a different place in the room BUT THE EYES FOLLOW. Or, the doll was sitting on the couch. You are SURE it was sitting on the couch but then, why is it on the floor?

I admit, I had a thing about Care Bears when I was young. I swear mine were possessed or something. They moved, they STARED. They were scurry. But now that I’m all grown up, I’m past all that. Yep. Dolls are just, ya know, dolls. Right?

Yeah, right. Check out these:

I have no idea where this one came from but it looks like it has eaten flesh… without a bib.

    Well … it all started with an innocent looking clown doll in Poltergeist. The doll in The Conjuring is totally evil! Once, I went in my daughter’s room and her stuffed unicorn (which totally shouldn’t be scary) was sitting up on her bed, staring at me. I backed away … slowly. My hubs jokes that one morning I will wake up and find my daughter’s American Girl dolls standing on the floor by my bed. I threatened his life if he did that. And the worst nightmare I ever had involved a group of dolls dragging me down the stairs. Seriously, there was no sleeping that night.
    And that final doll pic … um, that image will haunt me forever.
    Great post! Keep life doll-free. *fist bump*

      Yeah, that last one IS pretty awful. The doll from The Conjuring? Ermagerd. So. Very. Creepy.

      Omg, NO! That’s really horrible. Are you going to write about that? Because I think that deserves it’s own post.

    Just Chucky. Although I had a doll with malfunctioning eyes, one would be wide open and one would close. I hid it in my sister’s room. And I did always face my American Girl doll at an angle away from my bed. Lol! Just in case. 😉 Every do often I’d dip her and make sure the lids were still functioning.

    Why on earth did someone make those dolls? Especially the first one.

      And did that American Girl doll ever end up facing you ON ITS OWN??? Just wondering. 😉 😉

          As long as she stays facing away like a good little dolly.

    I. Love. Creepy. Dolls.

    Someday, I will have a whole room of them.

    I find their staring very calming.

    But then… I can be a little creepy doll myself sometimes.
