->''I swept out the contents of the dollhouse room by room, smashing my little four-poster bed, Amma's day bed, the lemon yellow love seat. Once I'd flung out my mother's big brass canopy and destroyed her vanity table, either Amma or I screamed. Maybe both of us did. The floor of my mother's room. The beautiful ivory tiles. Made of human teeth. Fifty-six tiny teeth, cleaned and bleached and shining from the floor.''

Miniatures are creepy. A common variation on this is the RealityChangingMiniature. However, dollhouses, often used for child's play, have come to be regarded as creepy in and of themselves. It's one of the easiest ways to create an UncannyVillage in a single room, and is often cost-effective. Unlike the RealityChangingMiniature, they do not need to have - and, most often, don't have - supernatural powers. They're just viewed as creepy by themselves. A common variation is when a dollhouse is eerily arranged to mirror some terrifying or disturbing event that has occurred in real life.

** Shirley has a model of her old home (Hill House), where she and her siblings grew up, in her actual house, as a reminder of her trauma there.
*** Not... quite. Shirley actually has a model of the 'forever house', the house their mother, Olivia, was designing during their stay at Hill House. It's not quite clear if Olivia and Stephen's plan was to build this house from scratch if if it's a house the Cranes have bought and are planning to refurbish, but either way it's the house that they are getting ready to work on and settle in after flipping and selling one last place for money. Unfortunately that place is Hill House so they never make it into their forever home. We don't know if Olivia made the model itself or if Shirley had it made from her mother's blueprints, but Shirley seems to keep it in remembrance of her mother. In an unusual example of this trope the model itself and the hypothetical house it represents are quite innocent - but it is the target of spiteful, solicitous attention from the haunted house that is determined to be the Cranes' actual forever home: Hill House.
