Everyone has a creepy doll story. I mean everyone. And, to be honest, can you blame us all? There’s something about some of these dolls that just makes you think they are going to jump up in the night and strangle you.
This little Satanic Puppy Killing Boy Child looks like he could be perfectly capable of that:
Those eyes are totally deranged. He should come with a warning label “Don’t Leave in Child’s Bedroom.”
And what girl wouldn’t like a ghostly apparition frozen in perpetual terror?
Since I am the whitest woman in America, I don’t think I’m allowed to say too much about this one. So I’ll just let her speak for herself.
Okay, I can’t help it. “Come hither, my pretty. Cackle cackle cackle.”
And this one is just flat out spooky.
However, as disturbing as those all are, they cannot compare to what I stumbled upon in my dad’s garage this week. Warning: while the following is in no way gory, it may be disturbing to some viewers.
He’s quite proud of that 1851 Colt revolver. At least this mannequin has arms. The last one didn’t. She was a former Virgin Mary model for the Nativity at church, but her arms mysteriously disappeared. Anyway Gussie (that’s what I call this Pistol Packin’ Mama) scares the hell out of everyone in the family. My daughter spied her and ran away screaming in sheer unmitigated terror. My 23 year old sister nearly refuses to go out to the garage. Personally, I think she should become the masthead for his boat.
My point is, that all you people talking about how your grandmothers’ doll collections freaked you out as a child should walk a mile in my shoes. I’d tell you to walk a mile in Gussie’s shoes, but she doesn’t have any. I don’t know what would worry me more; if he continued to leave her naked except for the revolver, or if he started dressing her up in frilly Victorian dresses …
Not being a doll person myself, glad to know someone else finds them creepy at times. And the mannequin in your Dad’s garage, well I just don’t know what to say about that!
Hannibal was fun, we would have had a blast!
I was rolling at the mannequin. So unexpected. I think she should be wearin’ cowboy clothes
I have actually seen her move out of the corner of my eye.
KYM
I still don’t understand why my family is scared of a mannequin.
However, being the hyper-sensitive and caring person that I am, I am taking the mannequin to the fishing cabin.
My fishing buddies appreciate fine art and the finer things that life has to offer at the fishing cabin.
I like the “cowboy clothes” idea; it would highlight the fine points of my Colt revolver.

Oh my- I was unprepared for the sight of the mannequin as well. I find it quite hilarious that she exists, naked, yet wearing a gun. I am hoping she finds suitable clothing soon…
My dh says she needs chaps. :/
I used to have the Barbie head that you styled her hair, my brother swore its eyes followed him.
He would go into my room and put it in the closet he was so scared of it.
