I think the first creepy dolls I fell in love with were the nasty, sharp-toothed dolls in the movie 'Barbarella'. I remember seeing that movie on TV as a kid and the scene with the dolls gnashing their teeth and biting at Barbarella was both terrifying and utterly awesome! ;DLittle Gothic Horrorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315631250163742387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713310157471994603.post-10317278253388649452014-01-28T10:03:25.109-06:002014-01-28T10:03:25.109-06:00I wondered about the little girl too.

Sheesh!

There's another location in DF called "el Chopo." It's like the Camden Market of Mexico. I have an appreciation for Latin American cultures.

Dolls creep me out - that last picture is enough to give me nightmares for weeks. I think the Island of the Dolls is definitely not on the Bucket List for me - not that I was ever planning to go to Mexico anyway.
