Thread: Haunted Doll House

Tweet

So, this year I am hopefully doing a haunted house and its going to be a doll house theme. Have you guys any ideas for rooms? I was thinking typical house rooms, but now I think I want more than just that...... more scares?

... I dont know ...

Hmmm....a lifesized barbie would probably be scary as hell.

Ooooooh, yeeeaahhhhh!!
That would be me!!

I like the idea of normal looking rooms - think Pleasantville. Then the dolls can be the eye catcher! Ugh, dolls creep me out!!!

EEEK! if you can dress yourself somehow in plastic and act like plastic babrie doll with smile that never moves...... freaky!

I like the Pleasantville theme, mommyto3. Everything would seem so 'normal' and simple and then BAM! Creepy dead doll

I think this sounds like a neat, creative idea. The only contribution I can provide is that there should be giant hands reaching through a window, or perhaps an enormous eye looking in, belonging to the "real" person who is playing with the doll house.

Also, to make it haunted, I'd have broken furniture and disarticulated body/doll parts lying around, giving the sense that the dollhouse owner plays rough with her toys and you might be next.

I like the dollhouse theme. Bring in lots of plastic furniture or cover things in plastic slip covers so it looks like a cheap barbie doll house. You can also through in a couple odd pieces like the life size (doll size) gi joe guy instead of Ken doll. Doll size lego blocks. You can also steal the idea from the commerical where the girl mounts her dad's iphone on the all over the fireplace as a picture lengthwise. You can easily make it out of a foam board and just use some velcro strips. Please post pics when you get going. Oh you can pick up the womans plastic wig from Mars Attacks with Jack Nicholson. A nice blue bob would look freaky with the big red swirls of makeup on the cheeks and permanent smile.

the idea of the plastic wig and covering the furnature in plastic and the giant hands and eyes at the windows is great!

maybe get a huge box (like a refrigerator box or something) and paint it like the boxes a barbie doll comes in complete with the plastic twist ties poking out that holds the doll in (use those giant zip lock ties from the hardware store or walmart)

how about plastic food on plastic plates? (always can find them at thrift stores) for a scarier effect paint the foods moldy and with bugs etc.
make giant building blocks from boxes.
have some outfits and shoes and hats laying around.
maybe a giant stuffed animal can be found at the thrift stores.

hmm maybe think of the evil lil brat in Toy Story who lived next door and tortured all his toys and created evil looking ones
he took toys apart and re-built them to create evil ones and also burned and beat up toys too.....

just a thought, hope this helps a lil
