Who is ready for some scary dolls? Had bad dreams as a kid? No? Well, you will after you see these “beauties”. Found in Old Town Sacramento these dolls are either part of a historic display or are motionless during the day and at night they roam the sewers at terrifying speed on all fours, their plastic limbs clacking and mouths emitting wheezing gasps. Ready? Here’s number one:
She actually looks harmless, if a bit skeezy, like she’s watching a strip show. “Yeah,” she’s saying while she runs her thumb over the edge of a switchblade, “shake that booty.”
Next in the lineup, brace yourself.
It’s the innocent-looking ones that are the most evil. See that tray around her chair? I’ll bet it has a hasp for a padlock and is lined with inward-facing spikes. She can’t be allowed to escape, you see. Because she’s so very hungry.
Little Master on the left looks like his eyes were scorched out after watching a couple atomic tests during the Fifties. Little Missy in the pram looks completely baked. Give that thing a shove down a hill and she’d tumble out, her head would rotate 360, and she’d stagger to her feet and keep on truckin’.
Great God! Does this baby EVER get any sleep? Look at the luggage under his poor lidless eyes. Someone with good intentions scattered a few marbles in front of him but all he wants to do is just SHUT UP THE VOICES AND CLOSE HIS EYES. But they never let him do that, do they? They make him do awful horrible things. But deep inside, beyond the plastic and fluff, he likes it.
Enjoy your nightmare fuel and keep those bare feet under the covers tonight. One of these pretties might want to scuttle from under the bid and take a big bite of toes.
