Agreed.

Mmmmm mouth watering monkeys.

I don't really have a problem with dolls - I had a few of my own when I was a kid (although stuffed animals were my true loves) - a knockoff Cabbage Patch kid, a Raggedy Ann and Andy, and a tiny baby doll named Baby Alice. I still have all of them, as a matter of fact, and still love them.... I even have a couple of porcelain dolls at my mom's house, but they don't bother me much - they all have decent, sweet-natured (or neutral) expressions. My aunt also gave me her vintage 1963 Knickerbocker Kewpie doll from when she was a kid, and ever since he was given to me, I've taken him everywhere, since she trusts me to keep him safe.

I'll tell you what, though: the kinds of dolls that do creep me out are the kind of porcelain dolls that have the really thick eyebrows, dull lifeless eyes, and the mouths open slightly agape, showing two or three teeth.

Here; this is the closest Google image I could find to describe the kind of porcelain doll I mean:



Another type of doll I'm somewhat leery of is the ventriloquist dummy, ever since I saw this short film that was shown on HBO in the early 80s:

....Prior to seeing the film, I was thinking about what would make a good 70th birthday present for my dad, and was like, "I know! He loved Howdy Doody when he was a kid; I'll find him a Howdy Doody doll!" and then I saw the HBO film and changed my mind. Although, I do like Edgar Bergen's ventriloquist dummies; like Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd...they're good people.

Why would they even make dolls like that? Unless they are joke dolls for adults or something.

I've never been into dolls (Barbie and Ken dolls don't count). Dolls used to depress me, and so when I took my toy buggy out when I was like 5 I always put my favourite teddy bear into it and passed him off as ''my baby''. I always preferred teddies to dolls.

Ledger Joker doll I saw....creepy

I recently donated an box of six or seven hundred + year old dolls, some of which were intact, some had come apart where the limbs are sewed together so they were literally in pieces. The old clothes were still on them. They were terrifying, like a box of little zombies. My kids wouldn't go into my closet with them in there and I didn't blame them at all. The house feels safer without them in here haunting us.

Yeah, I find old glass dolls unnerving the way they stare forward never blinking..
Unfortunate for me as my girlfriend loves them and collects them.

Yikes the stare, that is scary and worse when the eye has a moveable (weighted) eyelid that makes the eyes seem to blink as though the doll has some sort of consciousness. On one of the old dolls, the hair in back was falling off of the porcelain head part and you could see into how the mechanism of the eyelid worked.

If you Google 'Robert The Doll'....you will learn about. An apparently cursed or haunted doll handmade over a hundred years ago.

He has quite a history of misbehavior.

There are many pictures of him on the Internet, he is in a museum now, and continues to behave badly.

Ummmmm.....

Any poor thief who broke in there, shone a flashlight around the room, and saw those faces would wet his pants!
