PurgatoryGirl Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Who has ever seen this film from 1978? I have heard about it, since childhood only because my youngest aunt was traumatized by this movie. I wanted someone to buy me a ventriloquist doll as a birthday present years ago. Mostly because of my aunt's fear of Magic, my mother wouldn't allow me to have a ventriloquist doll. After finally seeing this trailer for the movie a few minutes ago, I can see why some are scared of ventriloquist dolls. The doll is so hideous, it adds to the horror Quote
PhilosipherStoned Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Guess this movie must of been the inspiration for R.L. Stines Slappy dummy story. I havent seen this movie, but that Goosebumps tale was enough to make me creeped out by those dolls as a child so I imagine it's a hair-raising tale.. Quote

PhilosipherStoned Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I can't even remember the title or half of the story, but that doll is like R.L Stines logo when he's mentioned in writers circles so you know it's creepy af. Quote
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 11, 2017 Author Posted October 11, 2017 Night Of The Living Dummy was published in 1993. I was 11 back then when I ordered it from the Scholastic newspaper, that schools used to have. Quote
PurgatoryGirl Posted October 12, 2017 Author Posted October 12, 2017 This ventriloquist doll sounds more comical yet creepy compared to Bugs Bunny's voice. Quote
