SCARY DOLLS OF HORROR MOVIES

{EAV_BLOG_VER:81d948498b246c79}I have been watching a lot of older horror movies on AMC's Fear Fest. Today I saw Dead Silence, which is based on the story and poem of Mary Shaw. In the movie the poem goes, "Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children only dolls. And if you see her in your dreams, do not ever, ever scream."

During one of the big scenes in the movie, in the room with all 101 dolls, you can see Jigsaw's doll from the Saw films sitting on the floor, and Edgar Bergen's doll Charlie McCarthy on one of the shelves. The doll that Detective Lipton (played by Donnie Wahlberg) throws over his shoulder in this scene is a replica of ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson's doll, Danny O'Day.

So after seeing this movie, I started thinking of other horror movies starring scary dolls. The following is a top five list off the top of my head and in no particular order.

Dead Silence 
Mary Shaw Dolls

Saw
The face of the Jigsaw killer, tricycle-riding Billy, the white-faced ventriloquist dummy

Childs' Play 
Chucky, the doll with the soul of a serial killer

Puppetmaster 
Live Evil Dolls created by the puppetmaster that go on a bloodthirsty rampage

Poltergeist 
the Creepy Clown that drags the boy under the bed. That part still scares me and no clown dolls for me after that.

Check out some frightening doll pictures to get you in the Halloween movie mood.
