The first Living Dead Dolls appeared for sale in America in 1998. The first commercial series of Living Dead Dolls, Series 1, was released early in 2001. Since then, new series have been released roughly twice a year.
Living Dead Dolls are 11″ (28cm) tall plastic dolls which are sold in coffin-shaped boxes. Most of the main series dolls come with a death certificate, except for the showbiz-themed Series 5, which had coroner’s reports. The death-date on the certificate is typically that of a significant historical event, or somebody’s birth or death. There is also a short poem about each doll printed on the coffin packaging and/or the death certificate.
It seems that many many people love these dolls. Some people seem to hate these dolls or think them to be evil.
What are your thoughts on the living dead dolls? Do you own any?

I love them. =)
guest
How about gross?
guest
They might haunt me in my sleep. No, thank you. I don’t want to have one.
guest
evily awsome
)
i want one…i really do.
guest
That they’re commercially mass-produced eliminates all possibilities of “evilness.” I’m not taken with the horror/goth scene. Dolls are ugly.

Dolls in general scare me. I remember my grandparents bought me a porcelain doll and at night I put it in my closet because at night it scared the crap out of me.
There are dolls that aren’t intended to be scary but yet are spooky. If you browse Ebay and look for dolls, you’ll be spooked.
guest
I want one.. :O

i would have to go through THE most extensive hiding routine every night before i go to bed with those things. in fact they’d probably be hidden most of the day. so, not worth the money.
guest
I’ve always thought they were pretty neat.
Never gotten to buy one, though. It’s just not at the top of my list of things I want.
guest
AWESOME!!!

Love them! There’s good and evil in every one . . . these dolls just happen to embrace the latter in quite an awesome way
Don’t own any yet as finances are tight and I don’t feel a need to waste money on something to sit on my shelf, but I have a friend who collects them. Perhaps I’ll buy one someday when I have some extra cash.
guest
AWESOME!!! I’ve always wanted one..

I’ll get one in a million years from now.
guest
I have a bunch of them! Definitely love them.
guest
I never had any of the living dead dolls, but I did have a couple of the bleeding edge goth dolls…love em =)
guest
awesome
dolls like these are less scary than the cute, pretty ones
guest
i think they’re pretty cool. love reading the poems and the death certificates
but i don’t think i’d ever want to own one. because
a) they’re creepy looking dolls
2) they’re dolls. also creepy.
guest
Don’t own any, don’t intend to own any. Dolls really aren’t my thing, but I do like the Queen from Alice in Wonderland. That one looks nice.
guest
They look stupid.
guest
They’re okay.
guest
evil or awesome?
how about both
guest
Awesome awesome awesome! I have the Edgar Allen Poe and the Anabelle Lee dolls

ok
guest
That’s creepy.
guest
Part of me loves it, but it’ll probably scare me when I just wake up in the morning. I might get the rabbit one in Alice in Wonderland…maybe.
guest
My friend scared me with those dolls in this comic store but I think they’re pretty awesome =)
guest
I think some of them are cool.
guest
I own an Apple doll. It’s cute. Creepy, but simple looking. Her name’s Lithe I think. Got her from hot topic. She just looks like a scary version of me when I was little.
I want those japanese/korean ball-jointed dolls. They can be custom made.
As for the living dead dolls, it looks like they tried too hard to look scary.
Chuckie dolls are creepy. Because it’s based off of the movie.
Old, normal porcelain dolls still scare me.

Evil. I’ve never liked dolls, or anything in the form of perfect skin, creepy eyes, freckles, and weird hair. I used to be scared of my raggedy ann doll when I was little. O.o
guest
i think they’re cute.
guest
those are amazing<333333333333

Very creepy, but cool to look at. I don’t think I’d ever buy one, though, because I’d scare the shit out of myself with it all the time. Just owning one I’d think it’d go Chucky on me.
It doesn’t help that when I broke my sister’s American Girl doll when I was 4, my sister told me she would come to life and kill me. <__<
guest
they sound adorable. i know what i’m getting my one friend for christmas
guest
Regular baby dolls are creepier than these. These dolls are just taking the creepiness to a level that I can deal with more easily because it’s so blatant
guest
Not my kind of thing.
guest
creepyyy
guest
that’s awesome!

soooo emo.
guest
They are different. To me, they look more like art pieces than dolls.
guest
Creepy. I must have went insane when I clicked on this post, because I’m scared of dolls.
guest
again i say… LOVE LOVE LOVE
guest
Theyre fun to look at, always liked them but I never wanted dolls even when i was little, thanks.
guest
I LOVE THEM!!!
guest
i have a little apple doll, which isn’t exactly a living dead doll but they are similar.
guest
I don’t even want to hold that thing, and I sure as hell don’t want it sitting on my desk all day and night. But then again, I’ve always hated dolls, and when I was younger, before bed, I’d always put my dolls into the closet so that I wouldn’t be scared.
guest
Cool! I’m looking them up on Amazon and EBay. They would be awesome for my toy photo series. I want, I want.
guest
NICE!! Those look amazing!
guest
i remember hearing about them a few years ago and i wanted one, but then i forgot about them
of course they’re evil, but they’re diffinitely awesome aswell

guest
Asif they’re still around!! You used to be able to get miniature versions of them as key chains, my friends had a few.

Personally, I love them. And yes, I own some.
They are creepy, but cool.
I own one of the larger sized ones, and then two of the mini ones, which come with a little noose keychain to put around their necks.
Yes it sounds sick and twisted, but in the end, they are just dolls. The reason I like them is because they are different, and not like every other doll that exists with rosy cheeks, pink lipstick and curly blonde hair.
guest
They are awesome!
guest
CUTE!
guest
haha i think they’re cool. but i would never own one. too creepy!

guest

guest
I bought one about six years ago, it was so awesome. I was super
excited about collecting them, and then the nightmares started. For the
next year I would have nightmares about that doll almost every night.
It scared the crap outta me. I would lock it up in my closet so it
wouldn’t crawl out of it’s box and kill me. Of course I was twelve at
the time, but it was still super scary. Now, I can have it out in the
open without being scared or having nightmares, but I don’t think I
would ever buy another one. lol!
guest
they creep me out.
guest
scary…..
guest
Creepy.
guest
They’re for faux-goth kids and emofags.
So, neither: lame.
guest
I have one. They’re really kinda cute (:
guest
Kinda creepy..but cool at the same time. I don’t think I’d want one though.
guest

guest
