Hi Dave,

To me dolls like the ones with real looking eyes are
hell a scary. When I was little about 3-4 one of my
Mums friends bought me a doll. I was so creeped out
by it, it had to have a towel thrown over it. It was
the most ugliest looking thing I can remember then one
night it started to have a clicking to it, my Mum came
to investigate and then found out it had a beetle
stuck in the box trying to get out of the plastic but
that was enough to turn me off dolls for life and I am
a girl !!! I am no longer scared of dolls but am also
cautious about what sort of dolls I will be buying for
my daughter in the years to come she is 11 months old
and thus far only has stuffed animals. I also hate
those dolls and things that look like they are
watching you, although I don't have a phobia of them
they still creep me out and I will never buy one. I
know they aren't real and I know they can't come to
life but those shows like Childs play can leave
impressions on a young mind and I will not and have
not seen it to this day.
