“Come play with us!”
If you enjoyed movies like Chucky, Annabelle, and Megan, you’ll have to visit the Creepy Doll Museum set to make its debut in Toronto this month.
The museum will open its doors this weekend at the Red Sandcastle Theatre on Queen Street East in Leslieville.
To mark its fifth anniversary, the exhibit decided to come to the city and introduce its wonderfully frightening dolls to Torontonians.
“We have reminded our dolls to be on their best behaviour but as a precautionary measure, we have notified Toronto Police Services that they may hear of increased incidences of stolen toe-nail clippings, scabs left on pillows, or mysteriously suckled hair,” Creepy Doll Museum curators Ben and Kathryn said in a statement.
According to the curators, the Creepy Doll Museum is home to nearly 200 wayward dolls and each doll even has its own unique biography written by a variety of Ontario authors that tell their tragic, haunting, or whimsical histories.
However, a warning to visitors, do not touch the dolls. Curators say the dolls are capable of acting out. But guests should not fear as there are mediums on hand just in case the unthinkable happens.
“The more time you spend amongst our collection, the more you come to realize that
creepy dolls are just like you and I,” the curators said.
“They like to inhale the breath of the sleeping, they like to brush their mother’s hair 100 times before bed, and they like to nibble nail clippings they find strewn about the floor to feel bonded with the human whose home they share,” they added.
The collection will be available on Oct. 20 and 21 from 7 to 10 p.m. All proceeds and donations will go towards “funding exorcisms for its liveliest dolls.”
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased here.
