I (19F) am a big horror movie fan. I’ve been watching the entire conjuring universe is story telling order. Anyways, last I decided I was going to watch the next movie in the franchise after work. For context I worked the night shift and I live with my mom. So I come home, take my dog out, eat something, and shower by the time I’m done everyone is in bed.
I still wanted to watch the movie so I went upstairs to grab my 18inch dolls. I grabbed them because I was watching Annabelle and thought it would be funny to have them watch it with me. We settle down to watch the movie and about half way through my mom comes downstairs. My mom can’t sleep well some nights so it’s nothing new.
Since the lights were off my mom couldn’t really see into the living room where I was. When the scene changed to allow more light in the room, my mom jumped out of her skin and screamed before she realized it was me. In the process she woke up my brother, who came running out of his room and downstairs freaked out. When everyone calmed down my brother and I bursted out laughing.
My mom still freaked out whisper shouts “What the Hell are you doing! It’s 2:00 in the fucking morning!” This makes me laugh harder. I tell her that I’m watching Annabelle. She gives me a funny look then asks why my dolls are down here. I told her it was so they could see what they could have been. She shakes her head then walks away. My brother heads back upstairs and continue watching my movie. So that’s how a scared my poor mom in the middle of the night.
TLDR: I was watching Annabelle with my old childhood dolls in the middle of the night and scared the living shit out of my mom when she came downstairs.

And this is why I hate dolls. I’m 39, I’ve been plagued by nightmares for 35 years due to a certain red headed doll I won’t mention or else it’ll show up in my algorithm. Seriously, I don’t search for it or anything and it finds me.
My brothers and cousins tortured me for years with that and latex masks, plppl wear shirts of it and I somehow ALWAYS run into them at stores. I went to a comic book convention and they were selling it there because scifi channel was a sponsor and ..ugh.
Also my mom had electric Victorian Christmas dolls that she’s plug in. Nothing like being 5 and going to the bathroom and those things heads turn just in time to look at you and have you wake up the house.
You do you but for me, yeah, id react just like your mom. Actually, Id probably leave the house and never come back. I’m that paranoid.
Your dolls watching Annabelle like it’s a TED Talk on career advancement is absolutely killing me. You didn’t just scare your mom, you summoned a full paranormal HR meeting at 2 AM.
Lmao at “what they could’ve been” truly inspirational!
Now could you be a doll and conjure up some paragraph breaks in there? 🫶
