Chucky (Brad Dourif, r.) And Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) take no prisoners.

Chucky also looks very harmless and, above all, cute at first. But woe to anyone who crosses this doll’s path. Because inside of her is the spirit of a serial killer (Brad Dourif). And so far he has killed his way through eight “Chucky” films and a TV series. 80 to 100 casualties go on his cap – and thus more than some other horror icons. 1998 got the killer doll in “Chucky and the Bride” in the form of Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) then also chilling support.

Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) speaks to his victims mostly through the puppet Billy.

Admittedly, Billy from the “Saw” film series is neither cute nor does it look menacing. However, you have a huge problem when you run into the ventriloquist dummy. Because it is through Billy that he communicates Serial Killer Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) with his victims. So when the puppet comes around the corner on its tricycle or appears on a screen and you yourself are strapped into a murderous contraption, you know: This is getting serious!

Better to avoid Billy from “Dead Silence”…

“Saw” director James Wan seem to have a thing for horror dolls. Because they also appear in his film “Dead Silence”. Actually, the whole horror flick revolves around dolls or the murderous ventriloquist Mary Shaw (Judith Roberts). So if you have a phobia about these toys, you should give “Dead Silence” a wide berth…

Annabelle is the secret highlight of “The Conjuring”.

The real story of ““Conjuring”, which revolves around a ghost hunter couple Warren (Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson) and the haunting of a dead witch, is scary enough as it is. But with the doll Annabelle, which actually has nothing to do with the main story, has nothing to do with it the horror flick landed a real sea stealer. After “The Conjuring” everyone just talked about the possessed doll. Given the “popularity,” it was unsurprising that she got three of her own “Annabelle” spin-off films. And so much can be said: the doll hasn’t lost any of its horror appeal…
