Doll Show

Pediophobia is the irrational fear or worry of dolls, but is it really irrational?  With movies like Child’s Play and Annabelle, it can definitely make a person look at dolls in a different light. 

These pictures were taken in March at the 2018 Doll Show in Madison, Wisconsin.
Composition dolls are commonly seen in horror movies.  It creeps me out when a doll’s eyes look off to the side.  I often wonder if the eyes will look at me.

At first glance, you probably noticed the Wizard of Oz dolls.  If you’re a suspicious person like myself, your eyes are drawn to the troll with alien green eyes in the $10 bag. 

I love this doll’s sparkly eyes, but the robot concept is a little scary.  If you’ve seen Humans, you probably agree with me.

This doll is awesome.  Unless the movie Signs frightened you, then it’s not so awesome. 

πŸŽƒ Now, here are my picks for the three creepiest dolls at the 2018 Doll Show...
#3). There is something creepy about dolls with purple eyes.  Originally brown, the eyes turn purple over time.  According to The Witches movie- witches have a purple tint to their eyes.

#2). Dolls with bright green eyes look possessed.  I instantly think of The Exorcist.  I always wondered if the eyes glow in the dark, but I’d never test that theory. 


#1). I’m not sure whether it’s the ghostlike appearance or the troublesome expression that put this doll at the top of my list.  It is beyond creepy.  I get chills just looking at it.

Do you agree with my top three?  Comment below!
