* ''MagicTheGathering'' has the [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=116724 Stuffy Doll]], which is apparently a living voodoo doll. Which is completely indestructible.

* It's taken ''this'' long to mention [[http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii163/Motherfuckernumber1/Hands_Resist_Him.jpg "The Hands Resist Him"]] (more commonly known as the [[http://www.castleofspirits.com/hauntedpainting.html "Haunted eBay Painting"]])? This troper was 14 when she researched this painting, and she ''still'' feared supernatural retribution.

* Mixing this with MonsterClown is this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKGKB5bc9DU&feature=related US Postal Service Commercial.]]
* I don't know, maybe it's the mouth, maybe it's the beady eyes...or maybe it's just both, but try sleeping after seeing [[http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42256026 this]] crochet doll.

* You say you're not afraid of dolls? Then you've never seen [[http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/mexicos-island-of-the-dolls-is-beyond-creepy.html La Isla de las Mu�ecas]]. Good luck sleeping after that third photo.

* In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-SamlxVgnc&feature=related this]] ''Fewdio Horror'' video a creepy [[MonsterClown clown]] doll terrorizes a young boy before appearing as a ''real'' clown. The end of the video features the same clown doll [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel just sitting there staring at you for about three minutes.]]

* [[WapsiSquare Tina's]] [[BilingualBonus mu�eca para el Dia de los Muertos]] looks outright hideous! Its true nature (assuming it is in fact more than a decoration for the Day of the Dead) has yet to be revealed, although given Tina's backstory, it is easy to [[WMG/WapsiSquare develop some theories about this]].

* In RichardMatheson's short story ''Prey'', a young woman is terrorized by an African Zuni warrior doll that she brings home as a gift for her boyfriend, and which subsequently comes to life. (The story was memorably adopted as part of the ABC TV movie ''Trilogy of Terror'' in the '70s.)

* Tails Doll, from ''[[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic R.]]''

* If you're not careful whilst downloading custom content for [[The Sims The Sims 3]], you can unknowingly download a doll that will slow down your game loading times and crash your games.

* In an episode of ''{{Seinfeld}}'', Susan had a doll that looked just like George's mother, Estelle. George couldn't sleep with it in the bed, and he kept imagining it talking to him in Estelle's voice. When Frank saw the doll at the end, he strangled it and pulled its head off.

* One shows up in the kitchen in [[http://jayisgames.com/games/the-house/ this interactive game]].

* ''{{YuGiOh GX}}'' had a episode where Jaden and his crew face a creepy doll come to life.

* Near from ''DeathNote'' constantly plays with CreepyDoll's and uses them to test his various theories.

** The truly horrifying part is when the doll is ''hanging from the ceiling spinning on the end of a rope'' [[spoiler: along with Asuka's mother, who has just commited suicide]].

*** After [[spoiler: piloting EVA 02, having half of her soul sucked out by it and going ''insane'' because of that]], Asuka's mother Kyouko is seen holding the same doll in her arms and talking to it, believing it to be her daughter and refusing to aknowledge the real Asuka as her kid. Now you know where Asuka's hate of the "doll" word and concept comes.

** One of the Six Funeral Wreaths, Daisy is the holder of the Sun Mare Ring. He has a rather uncanny apperance with scars on his face, dirty-looking hair, sunken eyes, and carries a creepy plushie in his hands.

* In a ''RanmaOneHalf'' story, Ranma accidentally breaks a typical Japanese doll during a trip to a hot spring. The doll has magic powers, and it starts to plan her revenge by targetting Akane and [[GrandTheftMe switching bodies with her.]]

** Also, when Jerry and Kramer switched apartments, one of the things that distubed him the most was a ventriloquist dummy Kramer referred to as "Mr. Marbles."

* If you're not careful whilst downloading custom content for [[The Sims The Sims 3]], you can unknowningly download a doll that will slow down your game loading times and crash your games.

** Played straight in that she does hate humans and is of the very few instances a character is cannonically NOT friendly.

* ''KingdomOfLoathing'' has the Misfit Doll accessory. Baisically a normal doll with black hair, white skin, and hollow eye sockets. Adds Spooky damage (which is apparently generated by frightening the opponent) to attacks. Also has the Evil Teddy Bear and Cymbal Playing Monkey familiar and Killer Rag Doll and Creepy Marionette off-hands.

* The Zuni Fetish Doll from ''Trilogy of Terror''.

* JoJosBizarreAdventure had a Stand called ''Ebony Devil'', which was this.

* {{Kampfer}} has a line of stuffed animals that look like they committed {{Seppuku}} with their intestines sticking out, and two of their names translate to Suicide Tiger and Suicide Black Rabbit. These are FOR KIDS.

* In {{Slayers}} NEXT, one of the possible locations of the Clair Bible was a tower full of these.

* The episode ''Raindrops'' from {{Witch Hunter Robin}}. A bunch of creepy dolls chanting "UNFORGIVABLE!" qualifies as some serious nightmare fuel.

* The rows of lifeless dolls in Enzu's shop in ''RozenMaiden'' definitely count. Compared to the living dolls, even Suigintou, they are way ''creepier''.

* In a RanmaOneHalf story, Ranma accidentally breaks a typical Japanese doll during a trip to a hot spring. The doll has magic powers, and it starts to plan her revenge by targetting Akane and [[GrandTheftMe switching bodies with her.]]

* The various dolls that the Other Mother makes in {{Coraline}}. All of the Other people invoke this themselves, with their creepy button eyes.

* The titular carnival attraction in ''TheFunhouse'' is filled with them.

* As mentioned before, the various dolls that the Other Mother makes in {{Coraline}}.

* A doll in an episode of GhostWhisperer. To make things worse, the doll was disfigured and its clothes were torn and stained. Ugh!

*HiddenCameraShow ''Scare Tactics'' has a collector of Creepy Dolls-one of which being his "mother"-as one of their favorite setups.

* One episode of CSINewYork had a murder in a doll hospital. They ended up finding an important peice of evidence: A recording in a doll. To try and figure out how to activate it, the take off the dolls head, with all the wires hanging out of it, like veins and intestines. Then they turn it on and it says in a semi-demonic voice ''"I'm Susie Secret."'' [[UnderStatement Disturbing.]]

* The {{Ravenloft}} setting is home to doll golems, animated toys which cause uncontrollable laughter with their bite, and 'carrionettes', sentient puppets that can swap minds with their victims.

* MagicTheGathering has the [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=116724 Stuffy Doll]], which is apparently a living voodoo doll. Which is completely indestructible.

* In TheLegendOfZelda: Majora's Mask, there's a little girl in Ikana Valley whose father lives in the wardrobe in the basement because he's slowly turning into a Gibdo. Later on, if you look inside his wardrobe it's revealed that he had a mummified little doll resting in the corner.

* GaiaOnline has a "joint puppet" feature for avatars to use. If that doesn't fit this trope, then the livid-patchy "dead doll" option will.
* Subverted in {{Touhou}} with the character Medicine, a doll youkai, master of poison. Subverted because the character is not really creepy... being a loli, like all the others.

* There is a mod in Unreal Tournament called Unreal4Ever, which has a doll for a weapon. When used, the doll skips around a map making doll-like noises, until an unlucky victim comes too close and detonates the doll, causing a nuclear explosion. Just imagine being chased by a seemingly harmless doll that's really out to kill you.

* {{Castlevania}} series has animate man-size marionette with long-blond hair. It's lying around idlely until the hero come nearby, then gigle, twist its neck in circle before float through the air with unnatural movement as if manipulated by invisible strings. There are also variations that emit electricity, said to be possessed by the ghosts of prisoners that died in the electric chair. ''Chronicle'' has small dolls, the walking clowns and hover dolls, though you might found the voice made hover dolls adorable.
*You can get a creepy clockwork monkey as a combat item in KingdomOfLoathing. The item description is the third page quote.

* Used very subtly in Half-Life 2. They're never in plain sight, but if you go out of your way to poke through the trash or explore the abandoned playgrounds, you can find normal children's dolls... in ruins. Missing an arm. Missing an EYE. Covered in something black. Very creepy.

*KingdomOfLoathing has the Misfit Doll accessory. Baisically a normal doll with black hair, white skin, and hollow eye sockets. Adds Spooky damage (which is apparently generated by frightening the opponent) to attacks. Also has the Evil Teddy Bear and Cymbal Playing Monkey familiar and Killer Rag Doll and Creepy Marionette off-hands.

* In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-SamlxVgnc&feature=related this]] Fewdio Horror video a creepy [[MonsterClown clown]] doll terrorizes a young boy before appearing as a ''real'' clown. The end of the video features the same clown doll [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel just sitting there staring at you for about three minutes.]]

* ''ToyStory'' has one in the first film, although it's the face of a doll on top of metal spider legs. It's not exactly evil but it's still NightmareFuel. The other toys can also be this way if they choose, as shown when they rebel against Sid.
** ''ToyStory 3'' has an even scarier doll in "Big Baby".

**Parodied in that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwWwfoXDgTI fake french commercial]] under the brand of "Dolls Klaus Barbie."In that time, Klaus Barbie was a former nazi judged for crimes against humanity.

* The marionettes used in the OP of the Chilean SoapOpera [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF6wKNJQGwI "Los Títeres"]]. [[UncannyValley Brrrrr!]]

* You say you're not afraid of dolls? Then you've never seen [[http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/mexicos-island-of-the-dolls-is-beyond-creepy.html La Isla de las Muñecas]]. Good luck sleeping after that third photo.
