I think I’ve mentioned my dislike of dolls a time or two (hundred) in previous blogs.
I find them disturbing , unsettling and more than a little creepy.
So imagine my horror when my husband dragged me to an antique store where I saw this….
.

.
Yikes!
As if the naked zombie baby with the dead eyed stare isn’t bad enough, it was flanked by two jars of disembodied heads and body parts.
And further on?
.

.
A bald, one eyed, broken necked abomination. With teeth!
Needless to say I was not enjoying this little shop of horrors and just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse? My husband went upstairs…
.

.
And found what had to be Rosemary Woodhouse’s black bassinet.
Yes, black.
That has the devil written all over it.
Stumbling backward out of the room, I came face to face with this monstrosity…
.

.
Tell me that face isn’t waiting for you to fall asleep so it can steal your soul.
.

.
Holy crap!
This one is so happy she stole your soul she’s about to start chewing on your liver as an after dinner snack.
.

.
Oh sweet Jesus…
What fresh hell is this?
No eyes, no brains.
I’ll be seeing these freakish zombie horrors in my dreams for weeks.

That’s my thought about haunted houses and horror films. I find both stupid and not at all scary. I don’t understand paying to be terrified.

I don’t mind a good horror flick, but I like the build up of mystery and suspense not bloody slasher films.

I appreciated Sinners when it turned to horror, but generic horror films just make me laugh at people who get scared.

Okay, I love dolls. The parts are probably to repair any old dolls brought to shop but they are distressing to look at. I certainly found some of these dolls creepy. I don’t think I can sleep in this place. I hope the owner has a separate house or he/she is probably missing a liver and a heart…may be brains too.

Creepy, no doubt. But it also reminded me that, when I was a child, there was a Doll Hospital – a place to bring dolls for repairs. It probably had something like those jars of parts.

I cringe just thinking about a doll hospital. Talk about pieces and parts.
Yikes!

That bassinet would have made a convenient shopping cart. Just push it in front of you, stopping here and there to drop another doll (part) in.
Would have made a great photo, too…

I have no opinion/reaction to dolls in any shape or form. I think I kinda understand why people find them, um, upsetting(?). I just don’t understand the point to them as toys. How does one ‘play’ with a doll? (In my very best 6 year old voice “Dolls are stupid”)

I know whenever I meet a doll collector, they are not my type to hang out with. Now paper dolls from different countries growing up, different story. Barbie and Ken, kind of creepy, also.

The most disturbing part is all the disembodied parts in jars! Ugh. Stephen King would be at home there but leave me at the nearest café. I also dislike clowns. Stuffed clowns, people dressed up as clowns, clown puppets. Yuck.

I know i know..i went to a museum of vampires & evil and they had a room.of dolls that was roped off. It was the only time i felt something was off in the air. So i think there is truth in dolls being vessels.
