A Dead-Eyed Look Back At The Creepy Killer Dolls Of Cinema By Rob Hunter/June 24, 2019 8:00 am EST Dolls can be inherently creepy, particularly ones made to resemble us. From their glass eyes and rictus grins to their stubby fingers and obvious maliciousness, dolls suggest a soulless reproduction simply biding their time until they can strike at our kneecaps or steal our breath while we sleep.
