Top five favorite scary dolls in movies

I love the use of puppets (especially instead of CGI) in movies. Along a similar line I was thinking about the top 5 most scary dolls in movies. I wont really rank them so the numbers are just to keep track. I tried to leave out some that are overly famous such as Chucky, Jigsaw, and the dolls from either the movie Dolls or The Puppet Master series. Enjoy...


Clown Doll from Poltergeist

This scene is the one that seems to stand out to many children as the scary moment in Poltergeist that really stuck with them. No doubt! You have a doll that is also a clown... that comes to life and tries to kill a kid! That's scary stuff right there.

Killer Dolls from Barbarella

Most of Barbarella is forgettable. But, if you've seen this wierd flick, you probably remember the little army of razor-toothed dolls that attack.


The Zuni Fetish Doll from Trilogy of Terror

One of the most frightening thing ever presented on TV, other than Duel. This short story is about a woman who receives this Zuni Fetish Doll. Of course, it comes to life and attacks her savagely. It's quite funny and scary all at the same time.


The mannequins from Tourist Trap


This is a little rarely-seen b-movie where the killer turns his victims into sort of undead mannequins. The effect is creepy.

The dollhead toy from Toy Story

Combine a doll with a spider-like robot in the middle of the otherwise quite safe Toy Story and you have a recipe for toddler nightmares. There is something simultaneously sad and scary about this one.
