I Have No Clue How I Have Ever Missed This

THIS.

IS.

AWESOME!

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.

    1. Not even the Velveteen Rabbit? Might make a great subject. Or Nightmare Fuel.

  3. It's a completely reasonable course of action, from my point of view and from my extensive research into movies about animated dolls and young-girl-hauntings.

  4. This 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.

    1. I've never understood the Mexican obsession with a George Romero movie...

    2. IN the zompocalypse, EVERY day will be the day of the Dead.

    3. They CAN'T celebrate Dawn of the Dead - a blissful lack of food courts in favor of taquiterias.

      Actually, 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.

  5. In the zompocalypse, there will be three choices for breathers: convert, zombie chow, or hole up in a mall.

    There 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....
