Who is Robert the Doll? Robert the Doll is a haunted doll that lives in Key West, Florida. He was created by the Steiff Company around 1904 and gifted to a Key West boy who developed an unusual relationship with the toy. Some theories suggest Robert the Doll was created with voodoo.
Robert the Doll is an allegedly haunted doll exhibited at the East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida. Robert was once owned by painter, author, and Key West resident Robert Eugene Otto.
Ventriloquist dummies served as some of the earliest examples of unnatural toys in horror films, being established with "Otto" in the musical drama The Great Gabbo (1929). The dummy was a convenient prop for early film, as it could largely be operated onscreen without any technical special effects.
Many believe that the origin of Robert's evil lies in the one who originally gave him to Gene Otto – the servant who worked for Gene's parents. This woman was supposedly mistreated by her bosses and to punish them it is believed that she cursed the doll with Voodoo and Black Magic.
Annabelle is an allegedly-haunted Raggedy Ann doll, housed in the now closed occult museum of the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Annabelle was moved there after supposed hauntings in 1970. A character based on the doll is one of the antagonists that appear in The Conjuring Universe.
While creator Don Mancini took inspiration from his childhood and horror stories that came before, the character of Charles Lee Ray, aka Chucky, is completely fictional.
She's made to look like a demented Olsen twin, and her not-quite-human movements — cocking of her head, her solidly sprung stride — and too-good-to-be-true personality make her fairly creepy even before her inevitable transition to evil.
Dolls look lifelike and familiar, but they also lack emotion. So, the gray area can give your brain the creeps. "There's an uneasy aloofness there as if the doll can watch you even as you move around the room," says David Kupferman, an associate professor of education at the Minnesota State University at Moorhead.

Barton Mathis, also known as Dollmaker, is one of the more psychopathic Batman villains. And with a true lust for pain and torment, he would make a truly horrifying Batman movie villain. Originally appearing in the first issue of the Batman: Detective Comics Vol.
The story of Annabelle became infamous with the release of The Conjuring and Annabelle films. The real Annabelle is a Raggedy Ann doll that, while much less sinister in appearance, made quite a name for itself in the 1970s.
The toy is made from papier-mâché and is a roly-poly toy, designed so that its weight causes it to return to an upright position if it is knocked over. Okiagari-kobōshi is considered a good-luck charm and a symbol of perseverance and resilience.
Pediophobia is a relatively common type of specific phobia that involves a fear of dolls or similar humanoid figures. Often linked to traumatic experiences in childhood, this fear can create considerable distress and cause people to avoid situations where they might encounter a doll.
Some kids may lose interest in dolls around the age of 5 or 6, while others may continue to play with them into their pre-teen years. There really isn't a "magic age" at which all children suddenly stop playing with dolls - it varies from child to child.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, as dolls became more realistic and as their brethren, the automata, performed more dexterous feats, artists and writers began exploring the horror of that almost immediately.
Tess and Cole attempt to shut M3GAN down while Gemma takes Cady home; M3GAN activates on her own and nearly hangs Cole. While Tess saves Cole, M3GAN causes an explosion in their lab, knocking them out. Before exiting the building, M3GAN kills David and his assistant Kurt in an elevator, staging it as a murder–suicide.
In many ways, M3GAN is more a comedy than anything else. And in leaning into the absurdism of its plot, it revitalizes the possessed-doll horror subgenre — and is one of the most fun movies in recent memory.
Charles Lee "Chucky" Ray is the main antagonist of the Child's Play horror franchise. Chucky is portrayed as a vicious serial killer who, as he bleeds out from a gunshot wound, transfers his soul into a "Good Guy" doll and continuously tries to transfer it to a human body.
He only became evil due to his sadistic desire to hurt and kill others, as shown when his father was killed by the Hackensack killer, and decided to become just like him because he was inspired by the killers actions.
