Broken Baby Doll in Dump That Is Scary

A child'south porcelain doll went missing i dark, every bit did a pair of kitchen shears and the town magistrate.

And there'southward a creepy doll
That always follows you
Information technology's got a ruined eye
That's e'er open

Dolls are perceived as harmless, and they tin be gorgeous and/or adorable, but there's still something scary most dolls. Information technology's probably because many of them fit squarely in Uncanny Valley territory. The blank gaze and unmoving stare reminds usa too viscerally of corpses, perhaps. This goes even more when the doll is damaged in some way, such equally missing limbs or eyes, or having holes in its head.

Another mode to do it is make information technology a clockwork toy (usually an organ-grinder's monkey with cymbals); something that moves on its own when someone winds the key, and then not accept it wound upward for years, and accept information technology click its cymbals in a haunted, mechanical rendition of Terrible Ticking.

In horror, dolls are often used equally part of the scenery to help establish the mood, even providing a theme for The Doll Episode. Similar clowns, what should be a lightheaded, innocent bit of childhood fun tin brand a scene ironically unnerving, depending on where they're placed, what they're doing, or even simply how they're lit. They may fifty-fifty be the adversary or be used by the antagonist. Despite how ridiculous a doll trying to kill people should exist, it's still seen every bit quite frightening. A similar thought lies behind the Demonic Dummy and Scary Scarecrows.

The Vengeful Abandoned Toy is a specific type of this trope, who is angry at having been abased or forgotten by their owner.

  • To be more than specific: How they (that is, the cord-operated ones) normally work is that pulling on the cord winds upward an internal clock spring, which when released causes a miniature record disc to revolve at a certain speed. Problem is, they usually play back as well fast, resulting in a screechy, garbled vox that y'all can just avoid by manually holding the cord back. Case in signal.
