Original Post from
or they would get thrown into my toy chest to live out a dark and lonely life. At night, when the moonlight would shine through my second story bedroom window, I would watch the awful faces turn into ever worsening and evolving twisted expressions as my young eyes would pear out from my blanket held right underneath my little nose. I swear I could see their faces actually change and twist and move in the moonlight; it was really strange. Deep inside I knew that this wasn’t true, and that the dolls were just plastic, but every night I would turn around to finally fall asleep with my face against the wall hugging my stuffed Red Clifford animal
that would be my savior from the living breathing plastic evil just 10 feet away from my bed. Oh and one human doll that I do remember really adoring is my Raggedy Ann that was the one that I could actually stand.
To this day I have never understood why dolls are for the majority of the time so strange looking. Even the non show type give me a good laugh most of the time. I look back and wonder now if my mom would find me the strangest looking dolls to give me because she really had a sick twisted sense of humor, and I do remember her laughing sometimes when she gave them to me. I wish I would have had the conversation with her before she passed away to get an answer…but now I’ll never know. So here’s to my mom who I have dedicated many of my blogs to because she made my childhood so peculiar and I look back on it now and it’s great, and it made me the sick twisted person I am today.
Believe it or not, I had a doll that looked kind of like this. It was thrown into my toy chest and remained there to live its life until it was finally grabbed by its leg (I’m sure) and thrown into a pile for a garage sale. It was truly ridiculously hideous don’t ya think?
One that I had on my shelf looked kinda like this…just ew
Oh my God no no no no! Just found this and thought it noteworthy…ha
As I got older in my childhood and started to enjoy the horror genre – I certainly would have appreciated this little baby creature…oh yeah Okay I know this is really morbid and I'm sorry...but I thought it was...well I don't know it's a doll people, so don't get your underwear all in a bunch.
And finally in closing – I want these dolls right now!

I understand your doll issues all too well I had a deep seeded fear of clowns to include a clown doll that I knew was just waiting to kill me.

Yep clowns can be creepy for sure. You should read the blog that I wrote called Coulrophobia on the DeadbyDawn page – although it may freak you out lol. Thanks for the comment. :-)

so now i know why you found that tourist trap trailer so fascinating.my mom actually used to collect dolls.i never really understand that whole thing.i mean, if you play with them and brutalize them or make them have crazy sex orgies it seems to make sense in a vile sort of way.but to just buy something and have it stand there on a shelf and look at you,it just seems …..oddball.there is a movie called dolls that you should see if you have never seen it.very weird and creepy.much better than that hunk of shit tourist trap.although,tourist trap is hilarious in both an intentional and unintentional way.that baby with its arms up in the air is too funny.i can not even look at that without busting out laughing.it looks like its gonna blow chunks to me.maybe that is its name.baby blow chunks.nope,doesn’t take much to make me laugh uncontrollably.by the way, those last dolls rule and i want them too.that should be my mission in life, to track them down and buy them for you as a symbol of our love.his and hers devil dolls.that is true romance at its finest.

Great post! I cannot believe those dolls were created for children! Yikes!
They are freaking ugly and scary looking. They would have given me nightmares.
I saw a movie once where the doll came to life at night and killed people,
made me laugh and yet creeped out all at once. (Magic?)
I have a friend who HATES dolls and will not stay over night in a house with dolls.
I loved my Raggedy Ann dolls, too. Not sure why though.
Another friend I have bought one of those baby dolls that looks real – now that
to me, is a bit scary (and a waste of money – IMHO).
Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope I can get the pictures of those dolls
out of my brain – now where is that mental bleach????

Holy Hell I hate those Porcelin dolls. My mom collects them. They watch me when I’m at her house. I think I saw one move once. When I was younger I used to think they were plotting to get me. She knows I hate them. So she left them to me in her will. Even when she dies she’ll be able to get in a good jab. Those things will be donated to anyone willing to take them.
