The Skeleton Key. I'm not sure whether it's a very famous movie, but I was really creeped out by the way this old lady said 'Caroliiiiine'

Also....how amazing would a twinset of Annabelle and Hannibal be. Ok maybe "amazing" isn't quite the word for it. BUT STILL.

I think it's spelled Chucky.Were are Ryn and Esther from?
I should have added Sadako, too. And Cecilia, from Dark Water. And Lestat, perhaps, although I think Anne Rice made it up...?

Chucky!! That's it.Rynn is from "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane", a movie I find very unsettling, starring a young Jodie Foster. Esther is from "Orphan". Lestat may be made up, but it's plenty creepy enough.Oh, I should also add Lydia. I find Lydia creepy (but in a fun way) because of Beetlejuice.

Samara, which is a shame, because I really love it.I was really interested when I saw the movie Annabelle being released a couple years ago, I still haven't seen it but Annabelle had always seemed like a good horror-movie name to me and when I was in middle school I wrote a short story about a little girl who was possessed by demons and her name was Annabelle. I think it is horror-ish for the same reason pretty little porcelain-dolls are horror-ish - it's almost too innocent and pretty and beautiful, it must be hiding something.

Oh, I know what you mean about Annabelle and dolls! A friend wrote a story about creepy dolls, and the main character was an Annabelle.
