Dolls can be creepy. The more realistic, the creepier. I recently glanced at my mother-in-law's collection of baby dolls. There was something off-putting about their cold, soulless, eyes and little fixed smiles. You know, crafted to look that way and stare into your soul forever. I dunno, maybe I was in a bad mood at the time.
To add another anecdote, when I was five my dad bought me one of those Disney Sing-a-long VHS tapes. Some of the older people here might remember those. I ran away crying because there was a screenshot from Bambi on the back cover, and I was scared the scene where his mom gets shot would be on the tape. That was my reasoning, but looking back on it, I probably hurt my dad's feelings. I hope he doesn't remember that.
My daughter is afraid of dolls?
