    Most importantly, baby dolls are just plain creepy. They were creepy in the 1960s and they’re creepy now. And Talky Tina, with her blank, expressionless face and childish voice, is still effectively scary. Her scariness is only aided by the fact that The Twilight Zone is black-and-white.

    OMFG so true!

    I don’t remember this episode, so I am going to track it down.

      I’m not kidding that I literally scrolled until I saw “Living Doll” and I was like “oh FUCK that!”

      I have always thought baby dolls are creepy, they seem inherently haunted.

      For example, the original Titanic baby doll, just lying down there all terrifying.

      Children can also be extremely creepy so it fits.
