When Ben Hatcher moved into his Peterborough home and discovered a creepy, tattered, old doll in a freezer in his basement, he closed the lid and put the spooky encounter behind him.
He said he didn’t think about the toy again until a year later, when he received another dilapidated doll as a birthday gift from his friend Kathryn Bahun, an elementary school teacher.
He said the two started to brainstorm ideas for funny things they could do with the creepy dolls, including a creepy doll calendar or a speed dating event.“Over time, we just slowly started to accumulate them and after a while we were like, ‘Ok, if we don’t do anything with this these, we might just be weirdos that have creepy dolls.’”
“It is people who have these dolls in their homes that might have been their grandmother’s or their great aunt or uncle’s doll from their childhood,” Hatcher said. “We don’t really accept dolls that are purposefully creepy. So like a doll that is meant to resemble Chucky or a horror franchise, that’s not really for us. These are meant to be dolls that at one time were a loved plaything and over time, they have just turned into these creepy monstrosities.”“The way that they come to us is the way they are displayed. We don’t like cut off digits or give them weird haircuts or change their clothing,” Hatcher said.
He added that not everyone who sees the dolls in his friend’s home are so calm about it, including a local appliance repairman.
