I give this one an 7 on the Nasty Little Challenge Scale.
One of my lifelong buddies sent this to me – Mike Ruble.
Mike received this nasty little jewel for his family’s white elephant gift exchange.
He snapped some pics and sent them to me.
Can you believe that this doll was only $3.99?

Could you imagine what Mike’s life is going to be like now?
Just look at that nasty little mouth, all primed for chewing on Mike’s ankle meat.
Those nasty little eyes open wide to see Mike’s feet shuffle across his bedroom floor, cloaked in complete darkness.
Her nasty little dress, too large for her nasty little body, allows her to float gently from the top of the refrigerator to the back of Mike’s neck when he is getting a late night snack.
He won’t even hear her.

Thanks, Mike!

Any tips for how Mike should protect himself now?

I have never given an “11″ to any submission for Nasty Little Challenge.
I hope that after you have watched the video, you will agree.

Does anyone else have goosebumps?
Did anyone else hear that nasty little doll say “If anyone tells… [garble]” or “I want to kill you or something”?
Oh man – this is the kind of doll that waits until you are sleeping to slightly turn its nasty little head and whisper something into the darkness of your bedroom.
Dangit.
I hate this doll.

Have any of you had a doll like this?
Has your niece had one?

I give this one an 8 on the Nasty Little Challenge Scale.
This one was sent to me by my e-friend, Nick Radford.

I can’t believe the horror that enveloped me upon first seeing this image.
I called this one “Robo Doll.”
You can tell that someone, long ago, got some crazy idea to try and bring this doll to life.
Look at its intricate inner workings.
Look at the nasty grate in its chest where it barked some sort of hellish phrases like, “You are most certainly not aces!” and “I have seen better skin on a gripsack that was left out all night then gathered in the forenoon.”
Makes me shudder to think about it.
And look at those exposed Robo Doll legs and those little Robo Doll booties.
You know that they have danced many a jig in a dark closet whilst waiting for people to go to sleep.

I wonder what is in that little can she is protecting?

I give this one a 2 on the Nasty Little Challenge Scale.
Sometimes, believe it or not, there are dolls that don’t make me as sick as others.
There are actually some dolls that don’t cause waves of chills to ravage my body.
This doll (photo taken by childhood friend Amy) is placed on display every year at a restaurant in London, Ohio.
I bet that is why he looks so ticked off.
He gets let out for only a few measly weeks a year.
The rest of the time, he is under the stairwell, scratching at the old wooden door.
He kicks at the paneling with his little plastic boots.
Actually, now that I start to think about it, he is pretty nasty.
Especially with that deceptive little suit — all red and welcoming.
He would lure you in with the promise of gifts, only to snap at your fingertip with his nasty little plastic teeth.

I am going with 6 now.
…and I bet he knows where you and I live.

Sometimes people send me a photo that is so shocking, that I can scarcely post it.  Sometimes, the story that accompanies the photo is even more shocking.  This is one of those photos with one of those stories.
This photo was submitted by friend, David Blackwell.
Just look at it.
Seriously.
Look at it.
See how she gestures with with fingers that have been made into nubs by the many times they have been shut a door whilst in pursuit of someone?  Look at the lazy-eye that waits to wink at you as soon as you turn around.  Look at the hair, tattered and sparse from many altercations with kids whose parents don’t believe their stories.  And that red splotch.  What the heck is that David?
But what makes this one a 10, is the fact that David tells me that doll stands in the living room of his parent’s house.

What could this doll be thinking?

I don’t quite know what to do with this one.
To be that close to all of those dolls would surely make my skin crawl.  I would be so freaked out because I know that I would feel one of them move or hear their nasty little breathing in my ear.
But what I think is more disturbing than the pile of dolls… is Nona.
What is Nona doing?
Who thought that would be a great idea?
What person allowed someone to paint on Nona’s cheeks?
That is disturbing.
I score this one a big fat question mark — ?.

…and someone get Nona out of there before the weight of the dolls cracks her bones!

(Thanks to my morbid sister for hooking me up with this one — if you have a gross doll, snap a pic and read about my Nasty Little Challenge)

If you could write a caption for this photo, what would it be?
What would Nona Slattery be thinking?
What kind of freaky DVD project could they be working on?

The other day I was in a local store, when I heard a strange rustling sound behind me.
I heard giggles and a sound like plastic scurrying on linoleum.
Then I heard, “Let’s get him!”
I turned around and this is what I saw…

Good thing I turned around in time (as dolls usually freeze when you look at them).  Had I not, those nasty little dolls would have been all over me – -biting at my heals and neck.
Gag.
Nasty little things.

Don’t forget — if you have found some nasty little images of some nasty little dolls, send them to me for the Nasty Little Challenge.

I have heard of this place.
I actually watched a short documentary on it.
When my friend (Lee Andrews) sent me a link to this site, it sealed the deal — I am never going to The Island of the Dolls.
Could you imagine?
Horrifying dolls everywhere (see the photo below for one example)?
My body wanting to explosively emit various types of matter from every orifice at all times?
No thanks.

Also, don’t forget my Nasty Little Challenge.

If there were an island of something — anything, what would it be to make you never want to visit?

Okay.  Before you develop opinions about me, I understand the philosophy behind this one.  I get it — in theory.  It doesn’t change the fact that it still creeps me out.  I am not even going to apply this one to the scale.  Just let it speak for itself.  But please tell me if it starts talking.

Thank you for submitting this one David Buckner.  Thank you for making we walk this fine line of taste and horror.

This was quite possibly the worst and most creative one to date.  This experience was the fruit of some good and crafty friends.  Once again, in the early morning light, I went out to go for a run.  I open the door to my Tahoe and BOOM!  There are these nasty little freaking dolls scattered about the interior.  One was belted safely in the driver’s seat.  Another was belted in the back.  Yet another one was tucked neatly in the visor.  Others turned up in various places.  As I yanked them out cussing mildly under my breath, I noticed that there were numbers on their heads.  At that point, I had located 3 of 6.  So, this amazing and horrific adventure unfolded over the course of 3 days.  This one gets a 10 on the Nasty Little Challenge scale for numerous reasons.  Thanks to Chris, Ben and Lauren for making my Tahoe into a graveyard for jacked-up dolls.  Watch out.
I am glad that I didn’t get pulled over for anything — I would have been arrested on the spot for suspicious behaviour.

Do you have any sicko friends that like to play psychological games too?
