I didn’t include the photo, but the doll actually does come with the original eyes… and you weren’t too far off. (Also, just going to point out that adding the eyes back in doesn’t even remotely make it any less creepy)
I’ve seen enough horror movies to know that these eyes are going to be important in some way and either the key to destroying the doll or what brings it back to life. I’ll need to lock them away safely someplace where the doll can’t get to them… unless that’s why the doll comes back to life and kills us all.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. The doll is also made with real human hair.
Human hair that’s over 200 years old, and could have conceivably belonged to some unfortunate Dauphin sent to the guillotine, cruelly blinded by his inquisitors, now seeking revenge against their descendants for the downfall of the French aristocracy.
Which reminds me that I should probably do some sort of 23&Me DNA testing just to make sure I’m not secretly the great-great-great-great-grandson of Robespierre.
No. but I’m sure that red stuff caked around the fingernails is just a little bit of harmless dirt, because it was lovingly played with by many generations of perfectly well-adjusted children.
Okay, the doll has now been found on the floor of my wife’s sewing room twice.
It may just be that it’s a bit top heavy for the doll stand my wife put it on, and now that we’ve started using the heater it’s getting a bit of a draft, or the warmer air is causing the straw filling inside to flex, causing it to slump forward and over-balance… somehow.
Really… I’m sure there’s a perfectly rational explanation for what’s going on.
Set up a motion sensing camera trap, like they use to capture pics of wild animals. Also, pack a suitcase in case you have to flee in terror upon reviewing the footage.
A couple of years ago I saw a Blondie calendar, the cover of which sported the delightful Deborah Harry looking uncannily like a real life Funko Pop doll.
Back to the doll in question, this photo for some reason bears an alarming likeness to this gentleman. Can anyone else see it?
