Mexico's Island Of The Dolls. The link here is more extensive. A gentleman, some years ago, in Mexico City, found the body of a girl in a canal, and wishing to appease her spirit, or give her indulgence (in the Catholic sense),
COLLECTED DOLL PARTS AND MADE DISPLAYS ON THE BLEEDIN' ISLAND.
Disclaimer, besides being an enormous nerd, I am also into the paranormal, and the odder corners of the universe, and I HATE GODDAMN DOLLS, creepy as shit. Add age, lack of maintenance, exposure to the elements, and decay. Mix well. Eeuurgghh.
o.m.g...that babby in the tree is going to GETCHA!!!
ReplyDeleteI know doll fear is sorta cliche, but I HATE FUCKIN' DOLLS!

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderfully creepy. There's this awesomely morbid streak in Mexican culture- I love those cute little sugar skulls they make to celebrate the Day of the Dead.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the Mexican obsession with a George Romero movie...
DeleteIN the zompocalypse, EVERY day will be the day of the Dead.
DeleteThey CAN'T celebrate Dawn of the Dead - a blissful lack of food courts in favor of taquiterias.
DeleteActually, I haz an ashame, and have to spend a bit more time looking into Mexican Ghost stories, although it seems to be a bit more intertwined with religion than is my usual.
I welcome our Zombie Leaders and have prepared a list of people with the biggest brains.
In the zompocalypse, there will be three choices for breathers: convert, zombie chow, or hole up in a mall.
ReplyDeleteThere is a 3A: commission a CERTAIN ARCHITECT to design a z-resistant domicile or compound.
In fact, some movement had been made toward a number of midwestern bloggers establishing just such a venture; however, it died out (heh) due to lack of interest. However, preliminary design research was begun....
