How To Tell If Your Ventriloquist Puppet Is Evil



Since we've done our bit to warn people of the danger of clowns at this Halloween season, I thought we should also share these safety tips about those other seemingly cute, harmless "Kiddie" attractions -- ventriloquist dummies. Here's how to tell if a ventriloquist dummy is evil:

1. Make a large, roaring fire.
2. Within earshot of the doll say “Well, I think it’s about time I get rid of this ventriloquist doll … it’s not doing me any good no more”.
3. Pick up the doll and say “I think this will burn up real good in the fire”
4. Walk towards the fire.
5. Make like you’re going to throw the doll into the fire on the count of 3.
At this point, if your doll is evil, you’ll feel a bite on your arm, or a punch, or some other violent reaction. The doll will try to get out of your grasp, and, if successful, will run away, most likely with an evil cackle out of it’s smiling mouth. Be careful … he’s not fleeing from you; he’s only looking for a place to hide in order to attack you later.
If nothing happens, your doll is probably not evil. You now have 2 choices: Throw it into the fire anyway, or put it away.
Warning: If you do not throw the doll in the fire, it is suggested that you take a knife with you to bed. It’s possible the doll is evil but knew you were testing it, and is waiting for you to go to sleep before attempting to strangle you.

I thought this was funny, but really the whole thing is kind of redundant -- it's not as if we didn't know all ventriloquist dummies are evil to begin with!

PT,
Have you ever seen "Devil Doll?"

It's waaaaaaay creepier than "Magic," although I love Anthony Hopkins.

Yes, I have. The scene where the doll walks across the stage is soooo spooky! My favorite ventriloquist dummy movie, though, is "Dead of Night."

BTW -- Happy Halloween, Tink!

Oh, I'll have to see that. The 1945 version with Mervyn Johns and Michael Redgrave?

How was your Halloween? Mine was spent recovering from oral surgery. Not much fun to be had, but getting a little better each day.

That's the one. The surreal sequence with all the characters toward the end is particularly scary.

Sorry to hear about the surgery. I hope you at least got good painkillers! And I hope you feel all better soon.

My Halloween was fun. I splurged and bought myself a handful of videos, including "Let The Right One In" (which I watched & loved. Very unusual) and Dario Argento's "Mother Of Tears." Dave was doing sound for an excellent local production of "Doubt," and it was the last night for that. Tonight we see a friend's Halloween play, "Rocky The 13th."
