Thread: Haunted Doll House

Tweet

I'd start hitting up thrift stores for those creepy life-sized barbie heads with long hair. I assume they're intended for little girls to pretend to be hair stylists or something along those lines, because they look much like cosmetology heads (which would also work, but are more realistic and less doll-ish in their features). I see them fairly often so I assume they're not hard to locate or expensive. With a little work they'd make great doll heads that've been pulled off the bodies.

Random mannequin parts are usually pretty easy to round up as well. Check Craigslist.

I'd consider finding a way to add "dog chew marks" to doll parts and furniture.

Bad news......
I don't think we'll be about to make a walkhrough D;
But still want to do the doll theme, prob can do a couple of walls.
So for a doll scene, how could i put that together? I've only done cemetery scenes before, so I'm lost as to how to do themed yard scenes...

I am using my dolls for a sinister playground setting, I may try a dollhouse next year!

Maybe you could have a doll kinda half-hiding behind some hedges, holding up a knife...a doll needs to be in a tree somewhere, perhaps 'fashioning' a noose...you could have a doll straddling the mailbox, stuffing some body parts in there or something...you need plenty of those creepy, winky-eyed dolls.

Ew, LORD. I ain't coming to your house. ;-)

Although maybe not exactly what you were thinking, have you seen pictures of The Island of the Dolls in Mexico? It was featured on a segment of Destination Truth, and that episode can be found on YouTube. (ETA: . I don't believe in the paranormal and still that place creeps me the hell out. Probably not even all that expensive to recreate if you hit up the thrift stores and garage sales with monotonous regularity.

I like the creepy hanging dolls!

Have an open area that is flat. Put up a couple faux wall pieces. 4x8 sheets stacked on top of each other to make a few walls and cut some windows. Basically like looking into a three sided doll house that is open in the front for the child to reach into. Then decorate the inside with the furniture and such. Throw down a cheap rug that you got off freecycle. Which is a good site to collect all your free furniture from anyways. Pick up some cheap cans of krylon spray cans of paint that is vibrant and plastic looking to spray all your cheapo furniture. Instant outside dollhouse.

they have masks like this out

We did a doll store / factory themed HH a number of years ago for a haunt convention & it turned out great! The front was a normal looking store filled with dolls. As patrons continued on with the tour- scenes of doll assembly & then humans being turned into dolls. A human doll marionette begging for help at the end.
