'''Doll #2''': "Over here."
'''Doll #3''': "The new offering is here." }}
* The gynoids in ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell (1995 film)||Ghost in The Shell]]: Innocence'' are modelled after Hans Bellmar's [[Uncanny Valley]] doll-sculptures, and are every bit as creepy. There's also the hacker Kim who lives in a (possibly virtual) giant dollhouse, and has his cybernetic body made to resemble a life-sized balljoint doll, and is more than eager to [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshade]] his creepiness at every opportunity.
* ''[[Helen ESP]]'' has a school mannequin that falls in love with is maker, and because [[If I Can't Have You|she can't have him, decides to kill him]], all the while knowing [[Tragic Villain|just how wrong her actions are.]]
* {{spoiler|Mina}} from ''[[Hell Girl]]'', but we don't learn it for a while since {{spoiler|she's a [[Third Person Person]] who manages to fool Hajime and Tsugumi with her speech patterns.}}

== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* In ''[[Aeon Natum Engel]]'', the cultist suffers a nightmare, where she hears a sobbing of a little girl. When she reaches the source, she finds five dolls, a large one and four smaller ones, laying broken before the large one. And then the larger doll starts screaming while sinking into the void. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|Too much sense]].
 
 
Line 103:
* The Zuni Fetish Doll from ''[[Trilogy of Terror]]''.
* The razor-toothed killer dolls from the movie ''[[Barbarella]]''.
* The Clown Doll from ''[[Poltergeist (film series)||Poltergeist]]''.
* ''[[Dario Argento|Profondo Rosso]]'': the walking ''deformed'' doll.
* The various dolls that the Other Mother makes in ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]''. All of the Other people invoke this themselves, with their creepy button eyes.
Line 111:
* ''[[The Doll Master]]''.
* ''[[Reincarnation (film)|Reincarnation]]'' (aka ''Rinne'') features one of the creepiest damn ones you may ever see.
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' has one in the first film, although it's the face of a doll on top of metal spider legs. It's not exactly evil but it's still fearsome. The other toys can also be this way if they choose, as shown when they rebel against Sid.
** ''Toy Story 3'' has an even scarier doll in "Big Baby", as well as... ''the monkey''.
* The 1987 movie ''[[Dolls]]''.
Line 208:
* The video to the song "Technologic" by [[Daft Punk]].
** It should be. It's the anamatronic Chucky doll used in ''[[Child's Play (film)|Childs Play]]'' (mentioned above) with its silicone skin removed.
* The video to the song "[[Blue (video)|Blue]]" by [[The Birthday Massacre]].
** There's another one in the video for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1Vf9HTgSEg In the Dark]".
* There's a few of these in the [[PinkP!nk]] video "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eocCPDxKq1o Please Don't Leave Me]" starting at 2:22. Notice all the dolls in the audience and then the close up on them. Brr...
* The video to the song "Clown" by [[Korn]] has both Creepy Doll's ''and'' [[Monster Clown]]'s. Not to mention a lot of insanity.
** The MTV special editions for ''Issues'' had one of these.
Line 227:
* Then there's this little gem, from ''[[Exalted]]'':
{{quote|'''''The Scripture of the Maiden on the Shelf:'''''
''[[Arc Words|Once, there was a maiden...]]''
''...who sat on a child's shelf and watched the entire world.''
''[[Uncanny Valley|Her eyes were made of glass,]]''
''[[Red Eyes, Take Warning|And their pupils were red.]]''
''[[Uncanny Valley|Her mouth was sewn on.]]''
''For years and years, she did not move.''
''[[Paranoia Fuel|Then, when necessary, she was gone, and the head of that child with her.]]''
''"Survival is control," she said.'' }}
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' has the [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=116724 Stuffy Doll], which is apparently a living voodoo doll. Which is completely indestructible. It's a reference to the doll's appearance in (and survival from) previous cards, starting with Black Vise and The Rack.
Line 289:
* Tails Doll, from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic R.]]'' Can ''[[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You|you]]'' feel [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9kGZfE3VJY the sunshine?]
* ''[[Castlevania]]'' series has an animate man-size marionette with long-blond hair. It's lying around idly until the hero comes nearby. Then it giggles, twists its neck in a circle, and floats through the air with unnatural movement as if manipulated by invisible strings. There are also variations that emit electricity, said to be possessed by the ghosts of prisoners that died in the electric chair. ''Chronicle'' has small dolls, the walking clowns and hover dolls, though you might find the voiced hover dolls adorable.
* In ''[[Harvest Moon: aA Wonderful Life]]'', your character has the option of buying a teddy bear for your child in chapter three. And then it turns out that the fucking thing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sNfxOL72YE blinks] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMgBvGdnmxQ&feature=related moves] and your child will hold conversations with it.
* Used very subtly in ''[[Half-Life 2]]''. They're never in plain sight, but if you go out of your way to poke through the trash or explore the abandoned playgrounds, you can find normal children's dolls... in ruins. Missing an arm. Missing an EYE. Covered in something black. Very creepy.
* One of the hidden-object search scenes in ''[[Mystery Case Files|Return to Ravenhearst]]'' consists of dozens of creepy, damaged dolls arranged on shelves.
Line 301:
** You can also wind up stuck with a Burnt Doll by pissing off a certain NPC.
* ''[[Resident Evil]]'' had a few moments with creepy dolls:
** First with ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica|Code Veronica]]'' (and its remake level in ''[[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles|Darkside Chronicles]]'') in which you travel through a house of dolls, filled with Zombies, Bats, Bandersnatches, oh and least I forget, little dolls and a giant suspended doll, all of which are modeled after the games main antagonist Alexia Ashford. Plus there is also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIyNaHHpmxI the music], and gets its worse in the games remake in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf587zCG2ec Darkside Chronicles]''.
** And there was also the ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' prototype, which featured Leon going through a castle owned by Umbrella (at least we assume) that is... weirdly enough haunted with hook-wielding ghost demonic dolls and tentacles in a black mist. It was as if he made a wrong turn at Raccoon City and went to [[Silent Hill]]. (Damn it would have been scary.)
* ''[[Haunting Ground]]'' has a room full of it, and is, in fact, a puzzle. Doing this incorrectly will prompt spikes coming out of the dolls to give you a game over.
Line 320:
{{quote|"[I'm] not so lonely that I wanna go to sleep and have THAT lurking over me when I wake up. And you know he'll, like, imprint on one of us or some shit--knowing your luck, E, he'll imprint on Cleo, and he'll just sit on her pillow all night, rocking back and forth."
And we all shudder together. It's a nice feeling, sisterly solidarity. }}
* ''[[Silent Hill: Promise]]'' has a terrifying kewpie doll.
* ''[[Fred]] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Finds A Creepy Doll]]'': an [[Merchandise-Driven|officially licensed]] Fred doll, which he thinks is a voodoo doll of him. And then it starts talking...
* Inverted in ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', where Goth undead-phile Tsukiko keeps a doll of Xykon (who ''is'' creepy) in her bedroom. The doll, in contrast to the actual Xykon, is a cuddly plush toy.
Line 354:
** Related to Robert The Haunted Doll is ''Annabelle the Haunted Doll.'' Possibly even more terrifying than the former, this Raggedy Anne doll was first owned by a woman by the name of Donna, whose mother purchased the doll from a hobby store in the 1970s. She and her roommate were cool with having the doll at first... until freaky things started happening in their apartment, where the doll not only supposedly moved on its own, but also ''wrote messages.'' When a medium was consulted, she said that the doll was being inhabited by the harmless spirit of a girl named Annabelle who died on the property, and Donna and her roommate felt compassion for the spirit. However, Annabelle the Doll was not what she seemed as she reportedly violently attacked one of Donna friends. After two incidents, the famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were consulted, and eventually came to the conclusion that the doll was being haunted not by the spirit of a little girl, but of a demon. The doll was eventually relocated to the Warren Occult Museum in Moodus, Connecticut, where it is reported that the doll still moves and growls at visitors on occasion from behind its glass case.
* One thing that can make dolls really creepy in real life is the fact that kids aren't gentle with toys. If you ever see a doll in a kid's playroom, stuffed uncomfortably in a toy box, or in the middle of a toy pile, often getting "crushed" under other, heavier-looking toys, and ''still having that smile,'' it becomes a quick way to convince anybody to clean that room.
* How about [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU this commercial] for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]?
* The ''Struts'' fashion doll line. Toy ''ponies'' with big come-hither eyes that can be dressed up Barbie-style. [http://www.amazon.com/Struts-Fantasy-Fashion-Runway-Sierra/dp/B0014UFCZI No, really.]
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl6hNj1uOkY Doll Face] video features a doll face on a jack in the box type contraption that mimics images on the tv screen trying to find the perfect visage for itself. The worst part is the fact that the thing is apparently sentient, and it falls very ''very'' deep into the [[Uncanny Valley]] once it paints its face with makeup to give it such a healthy glow that it ''resembles a human face''.
