I think I was about 7 or 8 years old. I will never forget it. The dummy's name was Fats, and he had that lip snear thing, and those huge, creepy eyes, and the whole commercial was him saying a nursery rhyme that ended with, "Magic is fun. We're dead." I, too, ended up seeing the movie, and yes, Anthony Hopkins was schizophrenic, but still, I've always been terrified of ventriloquist dummies ever since!Koshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635717176794202612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11149344.post-34308864267355463352007-03-15T14:54:00.000-05:002007-03-15T14:54:00.000-05:00Lauren, That sounds creepy.

But rest assured, all of the literature I have read, all of the priests and witches and warlocks and mystics I have spoken to assure me that the inert puppets are not dangerous until after midnight.<BR/> I must admit, the masochist in me is pulling my sane side to see that new ventriloquist movie- what the FUCK is wrong with me ?<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth- i am so glad I'm not the only one, but sorry you had to suffer from those nightmares as well.Paticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412270073568754882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11149344.post-86347356024114100182007-03-15T11:46:00.000-05:002007-03-15T11:46:00.000-05:00oh my god! i saw that movie when i was a kid, too!...oh my god! i saw that movie when i was a kid, too! i think i had nightmares for months.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121245166246520029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11149344.post-77655149072998482382007-03-14T14:32:00.000-05:002007-03-14T14:32:00.000-05:00How timely your rant is!We are currently having a ...How timely your rant is!<BR/><BR/>We are currently having a preview for our Book Auction here at my new job. The auction is tomorrow and Friday.<BR/><BR/>One of the major consignors for this auction was Jay Marshall, a magician and performer. A large number of things consigned from his estate are sets of Punch and Judy puppets, marionettes and ventriloquist dummies. None of them are as charming as Charie McCarthy there.<BR/><BR/>They are sitting downstairs on display, staring at me with their dead eyes. Every morning when my radio alarm goes off, a commercial is playing for that movie about killer ventriloquist dolls or whatever that is. The only way I can continue to work here is to convince myself that none of them come to life until after midnight.Lauren Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407468413252640872noreply@blogger.com
