Sock Monkeys and Long-Necked Santas

My grandmother had a big sock monkey that she used as a door stop when I was very little. I was afraid of it. I thought it was evil and would come get me at night when I was sleeping. They still creep me out.

Watergirl has a similar fixation on long-necked santas.

What creeps you out?

I'm afraid of the dark!  And spiders!  *shudders at the thought of them*

precious moments - who wants a bunch of sad eyed children staring at them all the time??

Oh, and dolls that REALLY look like a baby - My oldest got one when I was pregnant with #2, and everytime I saw it on the floor, with arms and legs akimbo, my heart would stop momentarily - and I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A BABY IN THE HOUSE!

 No, not real things that creep you out. Stupid things that creep you out, like a sock monkey.

clowns.

and frackin' creepy animation - Henry Selick/Tim Burton collaborations annoy me.

Raggedy Anne dolls. That maniacal smile! That pasty face! That murderously red hair!

I used to dream about a 14 foot Raggedy Anne chasing me and catching me with her really long, strong arms.  I called her iron woman.

edit: and those dead dead eyes.

Yes - they are evil.  This is why I won't take my kids to the circus, even if they were interested in it.

I hate crappy creepy animation.

that long-neck santa is older than me. OLDDDDD. its neck is made of wire wrapped with rattyass old santa fur.

daughter always looks for it first thing when we go to my mamas house. *shudder*

i think i will sneak it out of the house and go throw it in the gulf this year. if it appears again after that, it will be time to put it in a mulcher.

 Putting it into the mulcher will only make it multiply, kind of like tribbles.

ok now you are freaking me out

*squirms*

*shudder*

They kinda look like Raggedy Anne dolls.

You know those faces made out of plastic resin or whatever that you hang on trees to make them look like freakin' Ents?  Yeah. *shudder*

sock monkey

that funky monkey

Garden nomes.

And that ugly little nome from Orbitz or whoever.

Oh, and I HATED the trolls.  It was mostly the hair, I think.  Icky little naked butt things.

I had an aunt that had witch dolls made out of old dried apples for heads.

Now those were fascinating and creepy at the same time. I'm glad I never had to spend the night at her house when I was young.
