Dolls Are Creepy

Don't look at me!
From Goodwill's Nightmare Section

Now, I know Halloween decorations are supposed to be creepy, but what is up with these? The bald one is especially creepy looking. Where did it's hair and hat go? I don't know why I find dolls so unsettling but it's been a thing for as long as I can remember. Of course, this could have something to do with that Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode where the girl is stuck in a doll house and starts to turn in to a doll. I mean, she's shrunk down. It's not like she tried to fit in and it didn't work. It was a good episode!

A friend gave me a porcelain clown when I was a kid and I wanted to cry. She was trying to be nice but crazy nightmare clown! I don't know what I ended up doing with it. I think I hid it somewhere in the deep dark recesses of my closet so I wouldn't have to look at it ever again. It could still be at my parent's house. That was about 20 years ago now and I still don't ever want to see it again. But if I do it's going in a fire.
