31 Days of Horror Lists by the Losman- Best Killer Doll Movies

For the month of October I will put out a list of Top 10’s on a number of subjects each day, this should be fun as I would enjoy feedback and discussion on my list and will welcome feedback on how to improve the list as I plan on featuring them on my website. 

The Best Killer Doll Movies

    Childs Play (1988)

    Brad Dourif has voiced the infamous killer doll since the first installment in 1987; there have been seven movies in total with most of the follow-up films using satire to make the films campier and less scary. 

Trilogy of Terror (1975)

This TV Anthology features Karen Black in three separate stories, the most famous being about a woman who receives an African Zuni Fetish Doll that she ends up having to battle when it comes alive and attacks her.

Conjuring (2013)

The Conjuring was a huge hit and a pretty scary film, yet many felt the sub-story involving a creepy doll in a glass case was the better story. Annabelle would appear as the primary focus in follow-up films. Annabelle is inspired by a doll that is housed in the home of Ed and Lorraine Warren. 

Puppet Master (1989)

The first of a series of direct to video movies that feature some killer dolls that were animated by an Egyptian spell.  There are a total of 13 films that have been released with one coming out in 2018.

PIN (1988)

Growing up a brother and sister turned to an anatomical doll to ask questions that their physician father would answer in the doll's voice. Years later the doll has a stronger hold on the kids than they had hoped.

Robert (2015)

In this movie based on real events, a family begins to experience supernatural occurrences after the son is given a vintage doll named Robert. The real-life story of Robert would later inspire Child’s Play.

Dead Silence (2007)
