Fan Casting Creepy Doll

Role added by connieblackwood on October 6, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Creepy Doll:

In horror, dolls are often used as part of the scenery to help establish the mood, even providing a theme for an episode. Like clowns, what should be a silly, innocent bit of childhood fun can make a scene ironically unnerving, depending on where they're placed, what they're doing, or even simply how they're lit. They may even be the antagonist or be used by the antagonist. Despite how ridiculous a doll trying to kill people should be, it's still seen as quite frightening. A similar idea lies behind the Demonic Dummy and Scary Scarecrows.
