I have a small doll collection that my partner makes me keep hidden in a room on the third floor of my house that no one goes into. Thanks to you and this video I now understand why he’s afraid of them. They never seemed “creepy” to me, I grew up with them and always loved them. Oh, wait a minute, is this something else I should be seeking therapy for?
Ha! If you need therapy for this…so do I! I pretty much assume that anyone I end up living with will make me confine my collections to a remote corner of the house.
I’ve posted some great vintage creepy doll commercials in the past. You should check them out! A search for “creepy doll” might cover it. I think I even paid homage to Talky Tina.
There’s a Twilight Zone episode “The Dummy”, and that has been one of the very few dolls/dummy that actually horrifies me. I love “creepy” dolls but that dummy horrifies me.
(You don’t have to watch the clip and I’m sure you are already aware of this episode, but I just posted it in case!) 🙂

Omgosh, this song is in my head now. It’s quite catchy…and the ruined eye is always open.
Tuesday requested it twice. But then she is used to Chatty Cathy. 🙂

Perfect theme song for my house 🙂
Absolutely!
So cute!

Oh, I’m a Twilight Zone fiend, so I’m very familiar with this fellow!
