The One Where I Tell You All The Things That Creep Me Out

For some strange reason, I was confronted this weekend with several things that I find extremely creepy. I began to realize that the list of things that creep me out is becoming extensive, and since I haven't posted in awhile I thought it might be fun to really creep myself out (and maybe some of you!) by finding pictures of things that give me the heebie-jeebies, and explaining why such things weird me out. Enjoy!

First, we have the talking doll. My reason here is quite simple. Talking dolls are creepy, especially if they have those eyes that open when the dolls head is tilted. CREEPY. See, look.

Now, this doll is exceptionally creepy, because she is the star of an X-Files episode entitled Chinga, co-written by Stephen King. This doll says "I want to play" and basically makes people go insane and, well...read the summary. I really don't like to dwell on it. But, after watching that episode, dolls that talk really creep me out.

Second, we have carousels (and carnivals...particularly carnival music...the "haunting melody of the carousel...") It is all so very Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Last, that song "You Are My Sunshine." Don't go looking at me all crazy now. Somewhere in my past I distinctly remember seeing a movie where some kid was singing that song while playing in an attic and someone was sneaking up on him/her from behind. "But if you leave me...to love another...you'll regret it all some day..." *Shiver*

In summary, put a You Are My Sunshine-singing, talking-doll-holding kid on a carousel, and I am done. Add in a snake and some birds, and I will cry like a baby.

Now, I have been open and honest with you all...people I consider friends. Be nice. If I walk outside tomorrow and find a doll on my porch that says "I want to play" I am going to fire you all and get some new friends. Fair warning.
