Doll horror games

In these games the dolls are the threat, or they sit nearby and wait. You search old houses for dolls that giggle and change places when you look away, check the hall each hour as more of them start to move, and walk dark rooms lined with stitched faces. The fear is in small figures that should stay still and do not.
