** The first Halloween-themed series includes Pumpkin, a slasher killer with workman's coveralls, referencing Michael Myers, the central killer of the ''{{Franchise/Halloween}}'' franchise. Resurrection Pumpkin carries a machete, and one of his variants has a mask with little detail and round eyeholes, bringing in distinct notes of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] instead.

* DarknessVonGothickName: Several dolls have names with a morbid goth twist or lofty ominous tone, such as Tina Black, Daisy Slae, Mildread, [=GreGORY=] and Jennocide. The Three Sisters Tenebre, Lamenta, and Sospirare could be considered the Italian equivalent, and the cast of Series 33 are the French equivalent.

Created by Ed Long and Damien Glonek in 1998, Living Dead Dolls are little dolls who died in an assortment of creative ways, and come packaged in coffins for you to enjoy, complete with death certificates. They are inspired, of course, by real toddler/child dolls, serving as a dark counterpart/parody to the more innocent ones, and the very first dolls were simply customs of the originally innocent toys.

* CreepyDoll: All of the dolls, by design, though some are made to invoke the look of traditional antique dolls, and others are just representing their own characters through a doll medium. This has a parodic element as well as being straight horror, as they have a body design reminiscent of mainstream dolls and instead of adoption papers for the owner to sign, they have death certificates, making the whole product mirror their sweeter inspiration.

Added DiffLines:

* SignificantBirthdate: Inverted. Given the morbid theme of the brand, it's the dolls' ''death''dates that are disclosed and often chosen for a significant purpose (none of the dolls' birthdays are known). Deathdates often connect to the characters thematically by referencing holidays, popular media releases, or events related to famous people.

* MilestoneCelebration
** To celebrate the tenth series, the clear coffin lids have a unique design with red metallic logos.
** The 13th anniversary of the brand was celebrated with unique packaging for dolls released that year festuring a 13-themed take on the sulfur symbol, including Series 21 and a set of anniversary dolls based on the Series 1 originals with some minor changes. That anniversary set also included variant dolls that exactly replicated the looks of the S1 editions.
** The 25th series of dolls has special silver coloring for the coffin boxes.
** Series 35 of the dolls included the character Candy Rotten for the first time--she was an original "handmade" LDD character from before the line was officially produced who had never been released, making her final release significant. The series also has a mystery doll in each complete set, which was one of a six in a set of Resurrection-style redesigns of the Series 1 cast and Candy Rotten, glass eyes and all, leaving the full Series 35 with eleven dolls total, and six in the Resurrection style.
