This was ickily disturbing.

Other weird doll things include: (1) Druisilla on Buffy, who was girly enough to have dolls but twisted enough to tie them up and gag them; (2) that Hole video for Doll Parts; (3) film featuring "erotic" underwear dance with, and/or seemingly directed at, a clown doll. What *is* it about dolls?

you wanna talk creepy dolls? these dolls aren't trying to be creepy, I don't think. They freek me out so much that I keep a bookmark to this page right at the top of my list.

My aunt's soft sculpture dolls aren't creepy, but she can render - from memory - an eery likeness of someone she has met decades ago. The dolls are built from the endoskeleton on up, and can be positioned by means of a control box built into the back of the head.

palegirl,

Could it be that you've stepped into the Uncanny Valley?

Those are great, palegirl (but not particularly creepy...I don't seem much affected by dolls, clowns, etc.).
