Dolls and toys

for kids are meant to be joyful and sweet. They are meant to spark imagination and give children good dreams for their future. Sometimes, though, that all backfires.

Who hasn't seen a horror movie (or four) about a doll? Let's face it, some dolls are creepy as hell. Their broken faces seem to cry over better days, their glassy eyes tell of unspeakable horrors. It's almost too much to bear.

This is the kind of toy someone brings back from their trip to Asia, and it ends up being possessed by the soul of a trapped serial killer and, like, kills all your neighbors in the night. Don't you think?

This is a doll I found myself in Tel Aviv. Why does it have gray hair? Why does it look like it's going to kill the other dolls? I may never know the answer to these questions. And I never want to. Shudder.

A smile may be worth 1,000 words, but this one says only seven: I will kill you in your sleep. I'll be keeping one eye open from now on.
