The Killer Dolls, Toys, & Puppeteers

Who Likes Dolls?

Dolls and puppets are kind of scary and you might not look at them the same way ever again. Have you ever been to a store or house and there were dolls or even teddy bears there and you felt off? These movies might explain why you have. Murderous toys trying there hardest to kill you because of their own reasons will make you scared just from the thought. If you have not had a nightmare before watching them, you might have one after.

1: Dead Silence (2007)

Starting with one of my favorite puppet movies. A plot twist is a great way to explain this James Wan movie, Dead Silence. After receiving feedback from a young boy and being humiliated, a ventriloquist named Mary Shaw and a dummy named Billy terrorized the little boy and his generation for revenge because of the shame she felt when she was called a fake.

2: SAW (2004-2010)

James Wan’s story that was good to watch as a movie is, SAW. Another puppet named Billy was shown not just in the movie SAW but had a clip in Scary Movie 4 as well. SAW is the only movie that has a Jigsaw killer who’s vicious ways and games he plays scares me a little more than seeing the actual puppet and his tricycle. I do not watch them most of the time because they are a little weird, confusing, and hard to keep track of but has a good beginning scene of why Jigsaw was created.

3: Puppet Master (1989)

Blade as shown in the image above, with a knife and a hook with a smile plastered on his face was “secretly” the leader of the little puppets group and one of the craziest in the film Puppet Master by David Schmoeller. Blade, Tunneler, Six Shooter, Pinhead, Jester and Ms. Leech were all caged in a museum exhibit until the box was opened and they were released. Though they have special abilities, the curse of the Egyptians possessed the dolls.

4: Annabelle (2014-2019)

She looks innocent but we all know she is far from it. Annabelle from The Conjuring, films Annabelle, and even the funny movie A Haunted House 2 was not a porcelain doll but actually a Raggedy Ann Doll. I do believe in other worlds, ghosts, and possessions and with that being said, this doll is known to be possessed but taken to a secure location by Ed and Lorrain Warren. (I love reading about the two great paranormal investigators. They have a great history.)

5: Child’s Play, The Bride, & The Seed (1988-2019)

Hilarious and nerve-wracking is a great way to describe the grown man who dies and goes into a doll but then wants to be a real boy again. All Chucky films since Child’s Play was released in 1988, are funny but I definitely recommend watching the Seed of Chucky for all the laughs. Chucky is portrayed as a scary doll who kills anyone who gets in his way to becoming human again but starting a family is the last thing he really wanted. Either way, Chucky, his bride Tiffany, and their son/daughter Gentle Glen are all crazy killers in their own way.

6: The Boy (2016)

Next, we have another one of my favorite porcelain dolls. Personally, this is a great movie and with The Boy 2 coming out this year, 2020, I believe both are going to be fun to watch. Though I have watched this movie around 60 times since it came out in 2016, and it is predictable, the movie can never get old to me. The Boy is not a scary film but is odd because Brahms is not a bad doll but is a bad human boy. No matter how you feel about something, do not downplay it because you never know if something bad is going to happen.

7: Poltergeist (1982)

The last puppet we have is another clown but different than the one that was on last week’s blog. Many probably know him from Scary Movie 2 when he was under the bed but he was actually thought of in the original movie Poltergeist from 1982. This unusual clown from Steven Spielberg’s story was possessed by the same spirits that were trying to take Carol Ann away. In the 7 possession blog from last week, I actually spoke about the poltergeist and the clown doll that likes to torment the children. Some people that have watched the movie before will understand that the clown was one of the scary objects in the film.

What are your thoughts on some of these movies? Does anyone else believe that Annabelle is real or have watched these movies and had nightmares? I like ventriloquism and it is fun to watch now that I am older but when I was around 12, I had watched Dead Silence for the first time, and I was skeptic about dolls for a while after seeing that movie. I do want to see a real ventriloquist doll now but where to look? Have anyone else had or seen one?

7 Best Possession Movies

The Takeover

Becoming possessed is a scary thing but I guess you could say very interesting to watch happen, but only on television. The best part about watching the possession movies I would say is learning how to unpossess people. There are many movies that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering how in the hell can people get possessed? Though it is something that I consider common, definitely in the 10 movies today, the weary question remains, how many people were actually possessed before?

1: The Exorcist

Starting off with, “the devil himself”, in the 1973 film, is The Exorcist. Being created off a true story from 1949, this movie can freak you out more each time you watch it. A 12-year-old girl playing with an Ouija board turns into letting the devil in to possess Regan MacNeil. This movie is considered a classic but it is also a must watch film. We all know what can happen when playing with a board but I guess there are still some people who do not heed the warnings.

2: BOO

If you hate clowns, you are going to hate them even more in this 2005 film BOO. Though this is not a clown based movie, the possession is still happening with dolls, clowns and humans. Have you ever heard of a haunted hospital? Of course you have and there is always a floor that is off limits for a good reason and in this film you will see why you should not break the rules and go to, lets say the 3rd floor. Halloween night is supposed to be full of scary stuff but not killer horror, literally.

3: Insidious

The first Insidious was released in 2010. Having a hard time trying to find the scariest element in this movie? Was it the lady that is shown in the image above, the man that stays in the corner of the room, or the creature with the red face that was in part one and three? Yes, there is more than one insidious that can scare the pants off you. Between the five insidious’s choosing the scariest one is between the top three but they are all really good.

4: Verónica

Verónica was originally released in 2017 and as I said before some people have not learned to not play with an Ouija board. The movie would flat out scare someone who does not watch scary movies all the time. To me the movie was absolutely amazing and even though the movie was in Spanish, subtitles really do come in handy. The possession that was shown in this movie made me so sad for the real family of Estefanía Gutiérrez Lázaro that died in 1991 after using an Ouija board. (Also, her little brother is adorable in this movie. Overall amazing.)

5: Poltergeist

“RUN TO THE LIGHT CAROL ANN”, I know most of us have heard that quote before and if not, definitely watch Poltergeist. Who has ever heard of getting possessed by a television? Anything is possible with the paranormal. This 1982 film caused a lot of controversy when it came out. The discussion with this movie, was if there was a real haunting. After the movie came out, four actors died. The background of Poltergeist,when doing research on the movie tells a lot. I would give this a 5/5 star rating.

7: An American Haunting

I really love when movies are based on true stories like An American Haunting. This movie takes place along Tennessee’s Red River in the early 19th century. The film was released in 2005 but is based on The Bell Witch who is known to be the only supernatural being in US History where a spirit caused the death of a man. An American Haunting can be described as one of those movies where if you lose focus for a second than you might get confused but other than that, great movie.

8: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

I love movies that are based on real life incidents like the one shown above. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a true event and though the movie was released in 2005, the actual film was based on the story of Anneliese Michel. The movie explains more but the original event took place in 1976 which led to the death of a German girl. The movie shows the actions that were taken in trying to, “unpossess”, Emily Rose who was not even possessed but in fact suffering from a mental illness.

Now we all know how seeing ghost and watching stuff move is scary but losing control of yourself because of something that you cannot see is way scarier. These are some great movies to watch for horror because it really puts the excitement in Halloween. Do you have any specific movies that you watch for a fun night of fear?

5 Scary Movies That Piss You Off

Seen & Unseen Horror

There are thousands of movies that make people mad and I am no different with getting angry at certain parts throughout movies. Tripping over air, killing the wrong person, or getting another person killed trying to help other characters are some things that make me mad. Movies like the ones I am going to mention today are some that will piss you off royally.

1: See No Evil 1 & 2

Starting with the first movie today which is See No Evil. Round of applause for this movie that was first created in 2006 with Kane, (WWE Superstar), who portrays to be an isolated maniac that goes on a killing spree when a group of trivial criminals arrive at an abandoned hotel to get some time removed off their sentence. Almost everyone in the hotel was killed but a few made it out alive. The part that made me mad in the first movie was the fact that there is one character that wants to be ignorant and do what they want instead of thinking of others which than can lead to other people dying. Another way that both the main and sequel movie pissed me off is the fact that when people have an escape route or perfect time to get away, they never take it or they want to wait for other people with dumb ass ideas and they all get killed. Trailer 1 & 2

2: Dawn Of The Dead

Next are the zombies?! Come on everyone serious question, who doesn’t like zombies? I mean if you have never played Call Of Duty with Zombies as a kid, I highly recommend trying that. Though Dawn Of The Dead is not the same as COD, zombies will forever be fun to kill or watch get killed. The thing that will not be fun with games and especially in movies is the bullshit that characters do when they get attached. Everyone kind of knows that when there is a zombie apocalypse, do not get attached to other people because those relationships might cause you to die. This 2004 film literally had stupid questions being asked throughout the whole movie. “What’s going on?”, I mean like, what the hell do you think is going on? People getting bit on the neck or arm and becoming zombies, I personally believe that is self explanatory in my mind. Overall this is a zombie classic and a good movie to check out. Trailer

3: Laid To Rest & Chromeskull: Laid To Rest 2

Last but not at the very least of this blog is Laid To Rest which was released in 2009 starring a women who goes by the name Princess. This movie already started off kind of interesting because who wakes up in a casket with a head injury and is not able to remember anything? This movie was very odd when I first watched it but as I watch it more, I would recommend Chromeskull over Laid To Rest. Most of the times, I usually like the originals but with this movie in particular, I would have to choose the second as best. In the first movie princess just seemed really slow and as I mentioned before, getting other people killed is really annoying to me. I would say guess how many people ended up getting killed because of this princess girl in the first movie alone but I want to tell you. Six people died because of the foolery that was happening with princess and her carelessness and being clueless. The second movie she ended up getting killed and I am not going to lie, I was happy because some people that had died in the first movie shouldn’t have been sacrificed. I believe another reason why I liked part two better is because of the competition. Trailer 1 & 2

Thoughts?

I personally still like these movies but I would not just watch them on a regular bases like I do with other movies. There are some movies that you can watch repeatedly and the movie still be as good as the first one but those five were not apart of those movies. “Why and How?”, is like a question that is always on the tip of my tongue when watching movies. I really would like other peoples thoughts on those movies and maybe you will have a different opinion from me but seriously, no one can say that out of those five movies that people were not acting brainless most of the time.
