Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori stated in 1970 that the more human a robot acted or looked, the more endearing it would be to a human being. For example, most lovable [[Robot Buddy|Robot Buddies]] look humanoid, but keep quirky and artistically mechanical affectations. However, at some point, the likeness would seem ''too'' strong, and it would just come across as a very strange human being. At this point, the acceptance drops suddenly, changing to a powerful negative reaction.

You'll notice that most the examples below have to do with inadvertently entering the Valley. This trope can also be used to ''[[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste|purposely]]'' make something creepy, where creepiness is called for. Common cases of such example are: the masks worn by [[Malevolent Masked Men]], [[Creepy Long Fingers]], [[Eyeless Face]] and [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]]. [[The Doll Episode]] uses this purposely as well with too (un-)lifelike dolls. Compare [[Uncanny Atmosphere]].
