("Magic" 1978 movie with Anthony Hopkins--horrifying!)
Admit it, If you had to sit alone in a room with a ventriloquist doll, wouldn't you keep your eyes on it? You don't really know what the booger will do when you turn away. What if you turn back and he's not where he's supposed to be? What if he's crept up behind you, tapped on you shoulder? Said your name in that creepy little voice? Oh, you know the voice, nasally and childish, but spoken like a fussy old curmudgeon.
They speak for the ventiloquist--or do they?
If you want to freak out, go overkill on the ventriloquist phobia and immerse yourself in the movie, "Dead Silence" which I believe to be the best ventriloquist doll movie ever (although "Devil Doll" was very close).
Ventriloquist dolls speak through the ventriloquist, but they also say exactly what we're thinking which makes them outside of social constraints. It is unsettling to hear the truth from a piece of plastic. It expresses all the dark thoughts and angers of the one projecting his voice.
Perhaps it's from living with a ventriloquist doll for 7 years, but sometimes, you begin to wonder if you're resembling each other ....
