America's favorite psycho children's play thing is back, no I am not talking about Barbie ;)
I'm talking about Chucky. He's returned and he's up to his old tricks in Curse of Chucky. Now causing some scares in a new domain.
Chucky was first brought to life in the movie Child's Play when serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) latched his soul onto a good guy doll. Unfortunately, in order to escape living in the body of a doll forever, Chucky has to go to rather disturbing lengths to steal the body of a six year old boy named Andy.
Some might find Chucky to be rather disturbing. The thought of something as cute as an American Girl® doll trying to steal the soul from your child might make you less likely to put one under the Christmas tree this year. But believe it or not there are some pretty scary stories about toys that may or may not have inspired Chucky. So the killer doll thing might be realer than you think. Here's a list of a few to creep you out.
1. The Island of the Dolls
If you and your sweetheart are looking for the perfect spot for a honeymoon, the island of dolls might be a memorable experience. Located on an island along the Xochimilco canal in Mexico city, the island of dolls is home to thousands of mangled dolls like the ones above. Legend has it, that the islands care taker, Don Julian, witnessed a little girl drown on the island. The little girls ghost would not stop haunting him so in order to appease her restless soul, Don Julian searched thrift shops, toy stores dumpsters and everywhere else to find dolls to place around the island. Most of the dolls have missing body parts (probably scattered around the island) and look morbidly decrepit.
2.The Furbies are always watching
Imagine coming into work and finding a Furby on your desk. On the outside they look innocent enough, but imagine if they were actually sent to spy on you and record your deepest darkest secrets. In 1999 Furby's were declared threats by the National Security Agency for these very reasons.A couple staff members had Furbies found out that Furby's would repeat anything they said including TOP SECRET INFORMATION!!! Furby's are now banned in the CIA, FBI and NASA.
3.Elmo wants to eat your children
In 2008 a woman had purchased a "Tickle me Elmo" doll for her baby son. Elmo had a personal score to settle. All was not safe on Sesame street as Elmo started spouting out death threats to her baby saying "Kill James!" It was the "Elmo knows your name" version in which you could program Elmo to say your baby's name, maybe it's address, it's social security number, where it keeps the cyanide and so forth. Poor mommy Lithia was not expecting Elmo to want revenge against her baby and neither was Fisher-Price. Watch out Big Bird, you're next on Elmo's list.
4. Little Annabelle kills a lot
You may have seen her in this summers horror hit, The Conjuring. The real Annabelle resides in the Warren Occult Museum in Moodus, Connecticut. She sits upon a stool, inside a glass case, with a note that reads "WARNING, POSITIVELY DO NOT OPEN"
Annabelle was originally a graduation gift from a woman's mother.The woman, Donna, was currently sharing an apartment with her roommate Angie. Annabelle at first made for a wonderful bed decoration, until she started developing a less than angelic personality. Both Donna and Angie would come home to find the doll moved around in different positions. There were no signs that anyone had been inside the house while they were away. Annabelle began leaving little notes written in a childs hand-writing, that read "HELP ME" and "HELP LOU".
The girls contacted a medium. The medium was able to tell the girls that Annabelle was really the manifestation of a little girl who had died in the apartment. The little girl only wanted love and feeling sympathetic, the nurses gave Annabelle their permission for her to stay. BIG MISTAKE.
Annabelle began getting physical. Objects began moving around in the apartment, strange noises could be heard and one night the nurses friend Lou (the same one in the note) spent a night at their apartment. Annabelle did not like to be cheated on and thus let out her rage.
Lou reported that one night he felt a presence at his feet. When he looked down he saw Annabelle. She started moving up on his body until her arms reached out and began choking him. Lou screamed and when the roommates came in, they found him on the floor, cut up in several places. Annabelle is certainly the jealous type.
The doll was later donated to Ed and Lorraine Warren, the investigators of the notorious Amityville Horror case. To this day Lorraine has said that Annabelle moves from time to time and likes to growl at visitors 5.Thank-you Robert
This handsome looking fella here is name Robert the doll. He was the main inspiration for Chucky and you better be nice to him. Just like Chucky was given to Andy, Robert was given to Robert Eugene Otto by his loving dark magic practicing servant (possibly out of revenge, she could not have just made a poo pie?) Eugene would tell his parents that Robert was responsible for all the bad things that happened in the house. He just could not let Robert go no matter what.
Even as an adult, Eugene obsessed over his doll. Even Andy from Toy Story knew when to quit. Eugene's wife Annette was freaked out by Robert and did not like Eugene spending so much time with him. Sounds like another controlling spouse trying to separate a dude from his bros.
Annette finally decided it was time for Robert to move, to the attic that is. Eugene made furniture for Robert to live in. Robert would be found peering at school children through the window. but a room with a view was not enough. Poor Robert was cooped up all alone in the attic and he missed his best friend Eugene. Eugene begged Ann to let Robert move back in with them but she was unconvinced that Robert was ready. More bad things started happening. Things started breaking all over the house and when ever questioned, Eugene would respond "It was Robert, Ann. Robert did it" Shame on you Eugene for blaming a poor innocent doll for your misbehavior! That's probably why you got sick and died in 1974. Ann finally got to leave the house and Robert had won his rightful stay, not for long though. A new family moved in and Robert was thrown out after being accused of trying to attack the families darling little girl. Robert was sent to the Key West Martello Museum where he can be properly adored. A warning to all of you, if you are mean to Robert or you forget to ask his permission to photograph him, very bad things will happen. You'll lose your job, get divorced, your stocks will go down, your family plants will die, your parents will disown you and you'll probably lose a limb or two. If you doubt this, why don't you ask the people who have written apology notes to Robert, for these very reasons. See:
SORRY ROBERT!
