* Voltaire's Creepy Doll song is more then enough to prove its this trope.

* 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.[[/folder]]
* TruthinTelevision moment about these things, it turns out according to one [[http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/12/dead-or-alive-the-eyes-hold-the-.html?ref=hp "study"]] we perceive what is alive and what is inanimate by the look of the face and eyes more then anything else, so now we know the human truth..dolls are just freaky soulless things!

Another way to do it is make it a clockwork toy (usually an organ-grinder's monkey with cymbals); something that moves on its own WHEN SOMEONE WINDS THE KEY, then not have it wound up for years, and have it click its cymbals in a haunted, mechanical rendition of TerribleTicking.

* BitmapWorld has a storyline that parodies the JonathanCoulton song, but then swerves off into EdgarAllenPoe territory. It begins [[http://bitmapworld.com/comic/issue296/ here]].

* ''Fatale Frame'': The first game had a room filled with long haired, creepy dolls. And something nasty tried to kill you in it. But ''Fatale Frame 2'' took that to the next level with the Dollmaker and the lifesized doll of his dead daughter, who was promptly possessed by an evil spirit and convinced her sister to murder her father. Now the pair of them wander around as shuffling ghosts, while the father controls his dolls and convinces them to kill you.

Resident evil Had a few moments with creepy dolls
**** First with Code Veronica(and its remake level in darkside Chronicles) In which you travel through a house of dolls, filled with Zombies, Bats, Bandersnatches, oh and lest I forget, little dolls and a giant suspended Doll, all of which are modelled after the games main antaganist Alexia Ashford. Plus there is also the music, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIyNaHHpmxI&feature=related, and gets its worse in the games remake in Darkside Chronicles, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf587zCG2ec&feature=related.
And there was also Resident evil 4 prototype, which featured Leon going through a castle owned by umbrella(atleast we assume) that is...wierdly enouph haunted with hook wielding ghost demonic dolls and tentacles in a black mist. It was as if he made a wrong turn at raccoon city and went to silent hill.(damn it wold have been scary, unlike RE4 and RE5)

* Any of ''SaladFingers'' three finger puppets can be this. To elaborate, Hubert Cumberdale can become human-sized, gain red eyes, and scream for no apparent reason, as well as randomly turn into a black liquid that [[ItBurns burns]] at the touch. Marjory Stewart-Baxter jealously watches Salad Fingers have a picnic with a little girl through the window. Jeremy Fisher can also become human-sized, stores a weird green fluid in his plugged-up mouth, and can suddenly transform into [[MindFuck a second Salad Fingers]] [[ImAHumanitarian to get eaten alive]] [[NightmareFuel by the first.]]

** He also wrote ''The Monkey'', also about a doll-like toy, whose clanging on it's cymbals signals someone's death. [[FridgeHorror Even if you]] [[ClingyMacGuffin throw it away]].

* ''{{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.

* There's a [[VendorTrash junk item]] in ''{{ForumWarz}}'', the Haunted Doll, but it doesn't really do anything... At least, nobody's ''seen'' it do anything.
