25 Aug This Japanese “Human Doll” Has Been Terrifying The People Of Tokyo, And We Can See Why

We’ve all watched enough horror movies to have an inbred fear of dolls. Whether they are of the plastic or china variety, one thing never changes; we don’t know what they get up to whilst we’re dreaming away in our beds.

Like the majority of people, I was exposed to horror movies at an all too tender age. I recall rocking back and forth after my elder siblings subjected me to veritable classics such as The Exorcist and The Ring. And as you can expect, it was never worth it – I was inevitably subject to night terror after night terror.

If you grew up in the early 00’s you’ll probably remember watching cult horrors such as Scream and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre at sleepovers. And though those are all terrifying in their own right, I believe that I was placed at a distinct disadvantage. Having older siblings, I was made to watch some of the gnarlier slashers of the 70’s and 80’s – instead of Jigsaw and Hannibal Lector, I got Jason, and… the dreaded Chucky.

I’m not completely sure where my distaste for dolls stemmed from, but some of the blame has to be laid on horror films where the antagonist is a rather terrifying looking doll. There’s just something about their stretched smiles, glassy eyes and perpetually rosy cheeks that never fails to give me goosebumps.

You can imagine, then, how distressed I was to learn that the people of Japan have been subjected to a human doll that has been wandering the streets of Tokyo…
