What are the scariest dolls and puppets in horror movies?


My choices are

The Clown Doll (Poltergeist).
Fats (Magic).
Zuni Doll (Trilogy of Terror).
Blade (Puppet Master).
Hugo (Devil Doll).
Dummy (Dead of Night).
The Dolls (Dolls).
Chucky (Child's Play).
Dolly (Dolly Dearest).
The Dummy (Making Contact).
Pinocchio (Pinocchio's Revenge).
The Mannequins (Tourist Trap).

The nasty rapist puppet in "Black Devil Doll from Hell" is a real foul-mouthed hoot. The relentless tiny killer doll dudes in "Attack of the Beast Creatures" are likewise downright sidesplitting. Of course the Zuni fetish doll in "Trilogy of Terror" is one scary little bugger, too. And the lifesize mannequin in "Pin" is awful creepy as well.

Don't forget about Jigsaw's puppet from "Saw"!

That thing creeped me out especially when it came pedaling in on the tricycle.

I go with "Talking Tina" also!

The Baby Jane doll from "Whatever happened to Baby Jane" is pretty scary even though the movie is not centered around the doll.

Definitely the Zuni doll in Trilogy of Terror and the clown doll in Poltergeist. Must say Chucky in the Child's Play movies didn't do much for me. I also want to second the mention for that very creepy, disturbing scene in Saw where Jigsaw's puppet comes peddling in on the tricycle. I'm not a big fan of the Saw movies but that was a very strong and effective horror image.

Any clown doll coming to life in any movie!

How could I forget the doll from Deep Red? Especially being a total Argento fangirl? Lol. Good call.
