A fear of dolls is known as pediophobia. This selection of 15 dolls are likely to trigger this phobia in anyone who looks at them.
1. Helma German Doll
This doll was actually for sale in Germany: € 399 ($600)
I am sure i’ve seen this little girl/doll in some of my darkest nightmares.

2. Scary Mary
Imagine waking up to find this evil looking doll next to you. Not sure what is going on with it’s right eye but to me it looks like it is possessed by some sort of dark spirit.
3. Butchered Baby Dolly
What dark soul thought that making this abomination would be a good thing?
4. Fancy a Cuddle?
This dolly looks like it has awoken from some sort of crypt. I don’t fancy getting too close to this monster.
5. Killer Dolly
This freakshow doll looks like it has just stepped out of the set of an ancient horror movie. I would never let this creature anywhere near my children.
Its truly terrifying!
6. Just Plain Weird
Some people find these dolls adorable, i think that they are some of the most bizarre creatures i have ever laid my eyes on.
7. Doll Abuse
This poor doll looks like it has been abused in some way (what’s with the electrical tape on his right hand?). Its piercing eyes make the hair on my neck stand on end.
8. Chucky Doll
Fans of the film will pang with fear at the sight of this “Chucky Doll.” The image this doll has scared me into never seeing the film.
9. Burnt Baby Doll
Even though i know this is a doll, it still looks eerily life like. I don’t like its eyes and sly smile..get it away!
10. Down Syndrome Doll
I have no idea why company has decided to create these dolls but i find it kinda creepy.
From the site: “Designed by a pediatrician, our dolls realistically reflect the characteristics of Down Syndrome”

11. Negro Doll
This doll is from a different age and is slightly racist. Its terrifying to think that such dolls were accepted by mainstream consumers.
12. Trilogy of Terror Doll
In 1975, this fearsome doll committed stabbings, drowning and sacrificial killings in the Oscar nominated Trilogy of Terror. Make sure you don’t remove his chain or you might end up his next victim…
13. Discarded Doll
This decapitated doll strikes fear into the pit of my stomach.
14. A Very Strange German Doll
This 10-inch wrestler doll is one of the most frightening things i have seen all year. I really don’t get why she is only wearing a pair of sock and boots.
15. Demonic Twins
This set of twins are positively demonic… this image will now pervade my darkest nightmares.

As far as racist dolls go, number eleven’s not bad. The extreme color contrast aside, it’s a very realistic negroid doll and actually quite cute. I find number twelve much more racist.
There is nothing even slightly racist about number 11. As Doctor Allen points out it’s a very realistic negroid doll. Sure, the lips are a bit red, but that is just poor design. Golliwogs, with their “black-and-white-minstrel” paint, are offensive if you know what they are supposed to portray, but normal dolls SHOULD come in all colours, with all sorts of different racial features, just like people do. Racist would be having all white dolls.
As for terrifying, only eight of them are even in the running, and most of those are gruesome or disturbing, rather than terrifying. What would you make of a Toddlerpede by Jon Beinart? Actually, most of those are pretty cute too, unless you have any sort of insect phobia.
Check your orientation.
Right eye and left hand???
Funny how none of the ‘white’ dolls is considered racist, but the black one is? Just because it’s black?
The ‘negro’ doll (#11) seems anatomically perfect for a black child. The only objectionable thing imo is the term ‘negro’. Which is not that objectionable since it will be appearing as an option on the 2010 US Census for racial classification (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negro).
As for the comment re: #12 being more racist – if it was a white monster would it still be considered racist?
The only monster here is political correctness…
