XFiles-Chinga-TalkingDoll9
The Talking DollShe is the spookiest doll around this Maine town, and as we later realized, the reason why we never liked those freaky blinky dolls as a kid. When she doesn't get her way, she comes alive and makes people kill themselves in violent ways.

Beggar ManOtherwise known as the "butt monster," this tricky Indian fakir hides in large people's rear ends in order to travel around the world and kill people. He can't walk, so he wheels himself on a creepy sounding cart. Time for some WD-40.
