There's something so intensely unsettling about mundane, harmless things like dolls doing things they shouldn't be able to. If you found yourself being chased by a regular guy with a knife, at least people might believe you, but who would believe you if you told them you're being chased by a doll with a knife? Trying to get help could get you landed in an asylum! Here are my thoughts on twenty one evil doll movies. Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cl4...

2022-07-2217 minInvasion of the Pod PeopleA history of horror antagonists in 36 filmsWhile designing Fear of the Unknown, I divided the movies that were inspiring me up into six categories based on the kind of antagonist they feature.
