Scareful What you wish for


That episode was officially the creepiest thing I've ever seen. I wasn't afraid of the X-Files doll episode (I think it was called "Chinga"), I wasn't afraid of Chucky... but this? I'm going to have nightmares tonight for sure and I'm 22 years old who isn't scared easily.

Talk about creepy nostalgia. I had a doll that looked almost identical that's still in my house, luckily 7 hours away by plane or I wouldn't get sleep, that scared my older cousins when they saw it because of Chucky... used to think that was funny... now?

The writer and director did a perfect job with this episode. If you're familiar with R.L. Stine you know the classic twist of making a kid become a doll, but here it's still creepy. The one aspect that I think helps is the doll was so damn innocent yet so evil at the same time that it created a weird vibe that this is how a killer doll would talk. The magician and performances the actors gave while watching the home video sold it.

10/10

This should be a feature film. Not scared that easily, this was the first creepy doll that officially scared me.

I've never seen it before. The guy dressed like a dummy in The Twilight Zone episode "The Dummy" was pretty creepy to. I'll have to check it out sometime though.
