1. Dolls (1987)

Set in a scene straight out of a Grimm’s story, a group of wanderers stop by a mansion, where an elderly couple and their haunted doll collection resides. Created in 1987, Dolls was captured on film, which intensifies the feel of the whole horror genre with a slightly scratchy and heavy film-like effect. While the horror flick employs the good ole’ stop motion technique, most of the action scenes take place off-screen, where menacing giggles are heard from dark corners of a room, and victims dragged off into the shadows to meet their demise. With such precise and well-shot takes, 1987’s Dolls proves that these playful objects do not need menacing facades to strike fear in viewers.
