Why are people creeped out by dolls? Find out in this episode!! We're diving deep into the FEAR OF DOLLS (Pediophobia). Kris tells us all about what experts call the "Uncanny Valley," the relationship between the degree of an object's resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to such an object.
Heady stuff, but super cool, especially when we try to understand why some dolls are especially terrifying. Then we're onto famous dolls in horror. We talk a little Talky Tina, Trilogy of Terror, Annabelle, Stuart Gordon's "Dolls" and then (of course) Child's Play for our Feature Presentation. That's right Jack, Chucky's back!!
