You've heard of monstrous mimes and creepy clowns. Well, rounding out the Unholy Trinity of Vaudevillainy is the Demonic Dummy, otherwise known as the sinister ventriloquist's doll. A ventriloquist is an entertainer who aims to convince an audience that a non-living thing (most commonly a humanoid puppet, or "dummy") is alive and talking. Now this act, though odd, wouldn't usually be too off-putting an entertainment – except that, nine times out of ten, whenever a ventriloquist's dummy appears in a series or movie, it will be a creature that has crawled straight out of the Uncanny Valley. With its jutting eyebrows, its shifting eyes, and its sharp, mechanical rictus of a smile, the Demonic Dummy occupies a prominent place in the darker recesses of the human subconscious – it is nitro-burning Nightmare Fuel for viewers both young and old. One of the most common twists in a story which features a Demonic Dummy, is to have the dummy be alive for real, and the ventriloquist himself either a puppet or a hapless human under the dummy's control – in fact, many Demonic Dummies are given the ability to turn humans into People Puppets, sometimes literally. Another twist is to have both the ventriloquist and the dummy be two parts of a Split Personality, generally with the "human" personality being shy and nebbishy and the "dummy" personality being loudmouthed and hostile. Other variations of the dummy/ventriloquist relationship exist as well. Other types of puppet aren't safe either. Classical-style ventriloquist dummies are the most popular, but anything from a sock puppet on up can fall into this category. And, of course, there are a good number of ventriloquist dummies that aren't evil at all. Some you could even call angelic! See also Creepy Doll, Murderous Mannequin, Perverse Puppet, Killer Teddy Bear, and Consulting Mister Puppet. |

An episode of Tales from the Crypt about a junkie ventriloquist. His puppet was actually his conjoined twin. He uses the drugs to keep his twin sedated. Subverted in another episode. The puppeteer's puppet Coco does look pretty creepy, being a clown and all, and the puppeteer honestly believes that Coco is real. He turns out to be the kind of sorta good guy that kills the real villains (the puppeteer's wife and her lover) after they cause the puppeteer to suffer a fatal heart attack. It's also implied that Coco is being possessed by the dead puppeteer himself since his new face in the end looks just like the puppeteer. |

Shadow Hearts has one sidequest per game involving these. There's also an inversion in Covenant, however; Geppetto's puppet, Cordelia, has much more mobility than any puppet should (especially since, although Geppetto uses puppet string for a weapon, she doesn't have strings), but's she actually a very sweet girl. In large part because the soul of Geppetto's late daughter has taken up residence in her, and she was a very nice girl in life. | |

The Far Side does an inversion in one strip, where a man washes up on a, well, "Far Side" Island, which is already inhabited by a crazed-looking man and his non-threatening dummy. The man tries to act friendly, while the dummy immediately warns the newcomer his 'partner' will kill and eat him the first chance he gets. | |

In "Sans Contrefaçon" by Mylene Farmer, a ventriloquist loses his home and takes his dummy along in search of a new one. They come across a circus of which one member steals the dummy and brings it to life. The ventriloquist finds them and, while the living dummy at first is frightened, they quickly recognize their former owner. However, by choosing him over the thief, the magic sustaining the dummy cannot last and they turn back to their old self, much to the despair of the ventriloquist. | |

Digimon: Juri Katou from Digimon Tamers had a Hand Puppet that she used to talk by proxy. While not creepy by itself, it was reflective of deeper issues. Later, it transitioned into flat-out creepy at about the same time the D-Reaper made its first appearance. This is not a coincidence. In Digimon Adventure, Pinocchimon (AKA Puppetmon) was one of the Dark Masters, and definitely lived up to this trope. He successfully manipulated Yamato into turning against the other Chosen, even briefly, and it led to a Divided We Fall situation for the rest of the Story Arc. |

In The World Ends with You, Shiki has an adorable cat doll she made herself, named Mr. Mew. We don't get to watch, but upon entering the Reapers' Game, she animated him via a process called psychomancy. She later tells Neku that she only uses telekinesis to throw him around and levitate him in front of Noise—the doll apparently does all the slashing to ribbons on its own. Cue an ominous shot of Mr. Mew from behind. | |

A few years before, on Angel's parent show, Buffy, Sid the Dummy from Season 1 episode "The Puppet Show" ends up subverting the trope. He hits all the notes to make him seem demonic for the first half of the episode... but then turns out to be a good guy, albeit of the Chivalrous Pervert kind, and allies with the heroes to bring down the real Monster of the Week. | |

The Simpsons: The episode "Krusty Gets Kancelled" features a dummy named Gabbo that can apparently move and think independently of its "master". (Either that or said "master", ventriloquist Walter Crandall, is an eccentric who knows a lot of FX tricks.) It's really more annoying than creepy. See "Treehouse of Horror III" where a Krusty doll tries to kill Homer because someone set it to evil. |

One of the modern monsters in Monster Mash (2000) is an evil wind-up doll named Chicky, the Doll of Destruction. She's a Captain Ersatz of Chucky, only differentiated by her green skin and other gender. She wears her hair in Girlish Pigtails, but one of the tails is the wind-up key. Her weapon of choice is a remote control with which she can change the environment around her. | |

An episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force has a pair of murderous ventriloquist dummies, who are only capable of saying "Kill" and "Die" respectively. Any and all attempts to destroy them only result in them reappearing good as new somewhere you can't immediately see them (to the point of parachuting in if need be). They fall in love after a knife standoff. | |

King of the Hill: Bobby's ventriloquist dummy Chip Block is certainly perceived as such by Dale Gribble, who is horrified by the thing's very existence due to a traumatic childhood memory of receiving a copy of it for his birthday. While the rest of the episode focuses on Bobby feeling overshadowed by the dummy's attention from Hank (as Chip's persona is the All-American sports star Hank admires), in Dale's head Chip is every bit a Demonic Dummy that must be destroyed. | |

One episode of Total Drama features Vito chained up in Mike's mind, doing a ventriloquist act with a dummy. Mike, Svetlana and Chester want him to come with them to help them stop Mal from causing trouble as Mike, at which point the dummy appears to come alive and tells them that they can't stop Mal. Mal gave jobs to all of Mike's personalities, so the dummy coming to life is actually Mal's way of talking to Mike and his other personalities. | |

Lil' Cal of Homestuck seems to epitomize this trope the moment he appears in Dave Strider's home. His creepy, jarring, glass-eyed stare is bad enough. What's worse is that he seems to move around when Dave turns his back. However, by the time Dave fights Lil' Cal, this is subverted: Lil' Cal does not move autonomously, he is puppeteered by Bro with Flash Step finesse. Just because he looks creepy does not mean he is evil. Double subverted: He is evil anyway. Lil' Cal is a Soul Jar for no less than the Big Bad himself. Played straighter when Gamzee gets his hands on Lil' Cal (or maybe the other way around). Gamzee, on an Ax-Crazy murderous rampage, seems to be Consulting Mister Puppet about the slaughter and hints that it was Lil' Cal's idea. Of course, it is hard to say if Cal is speaking or Gamzee is just insane. It is equally hard to say if we are seeing Through the Eyes of Madness when Lil' Cal gives Gamzee a conspiratorial wink. This gesture is enough to scare even Gamzee. Lil' Cal is not only a Soul Jar, but a Dream Walker, Time Traveler and (in a way) Reality Warper. Through a combination of dream manipulation and Stable Time Loops, Lil' Cal becomes something like The Constant throughout the kids' session of SBURB. One character calls Lil' Cal a juju (a unique magical artifact of untraceable origin), and says that Cal in particular is an Artifact of Doom. He tells Cal's current owner that it would be a good idea to destroy the dummy — though given the Stable Time Loops Lil' Cal is nested in, that would not work. |

The Wracky species in Monster Rancher is a wooden puppet; not only does it have a creepy stare, but in its Idle Animation, it likes to start playing with enormous sharp knives out of nowhere. One of its "secret" forms even has the appropriate name of Satan Claus. In a Shout-Out to Child's Play above, the Player Character's assistant decides to name your first Wracky Charles. |

Undertale has the Mad Dummy, who stops you at Waterfall. They're pissed that you killed, bored, or insulted their cousin you met in the Ruins. The Mad Dummy attacks with cotton, missiles, and knives. Well, one knife. In the extended Nintendo Switch version of the game, the character becomes more of a Perverse Puppet by possessing a Mew Mew Kissy Cutie doll. Spamton G. Spamton from Deltarune is a more straight example, being a long-nosed, Billy-like dummy with the personality of a deranged salesman who tries to take Kris' soul to become a "BIG SHOT". In the Weird Route he plays an important role, while in the regular Route his side quest is optional. |

In Digimon Adventure, Pinocchimon (AKA Puppetmon) was one of the Dark Masters, and definitely lived up to this trope. He successfully manipulated Yamato into turning against the other Chosen, even briefly, and it led to a Divided We Fall situation for the rest of the Story Arc. | |

Monty had a job as a ventriloquist, but his dummy's offensive wisecracks had him go from there to the employment office, to negotiating rent with the landlady, to begging in the street, where the dummy warned passersby that he'd only spend any money on booze. | |

A more savage parody of Howdy Doody, "Howdy Dooit!" was done by MAD back in its comic book days. Howdy is depicted as manipulating the kids into following the advertising (including a creepy closeup where he demands they get their moms to watch one ad), and Buffalo Bill is the real puppet. Read it here. | |

Another example is in the 1964 movie Devil Doll, which was featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The twist here is that the possessed doll itself isn't evil. Rather, the doll (named Hugo) is the hapless assistant of an evil hypnotist/ventriloquist who trapped Hugo's spirit within the doll and then killed off Hugo's human body. The doll spends most of the time under the ventriloquist's control, but eventually gains enough self-awareness to fight back and give the ventriloquist a taste of his own medicine. After he killed the ventriloquist's assistant, of course. | |

The Middleman episode "The Vampiric Puppet Lamentation" has Little Vladdie, Vlad the Impaler's favorite ventriloquist dummy. Add in a dummy for Vlad's vampire bride, an entire dummy convention, and, briefly, two dummies for the Middleman and Lacey and that's a whole lot of dummies. Fortunately, only Little Vladdie (and his bride) is evil. | |

An episode of Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels had a ventriloquist who was also a burglar. His gimmick was convincing people that he's a dummy (being a short person and wearing a wooden mask helped), and that his (human-sized and very lifelike) dummy is the actual ventriloquist, which lead to him getting placed in compartments with other people's belongings he would steal and escape through an air vent, leaving people puzzled as to how a burglar managed to take everything without opening the compartment, and why he bothered with stealing an ordinary dummy. | |

He then correctly comes to the conclusion that the cursed doll was in fact Peri herself, after mentioning how a bunch of servants had been hired then mysteriously vanished... | |

Nintendo Wars: Mr. Bear the teddy bear from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (the American version of the game, anyways); at least if we take Penny's word for it. He seems to have his own agenda, however, making Penny give tactical advice to the heroes on how to defeat her, not ratting out Will during an infiltration mission and eventually convincing Penny not to collide a plane containing all of the protagonists and herself to kill them all. And no; he never actually talks, or does anything for that matter — Penny is just Ax-Crazy and delegates half of her mind to the inner voice of Mr. Bear. | |

Fletcher in the German-produced film Making Contact (released as Joey in its native Germany), who looks like the love child of Charlie McCarthy and a deranged chimpanzee and wears a monocle. Among other things, the little nightmare puppet can shoot lightning out of his eyes, psychically control other toys and open portals to what appears to be limbo. And he tends to just growl like an angry dog in lieu of speaking (although he does have a few lines). | |

The Ventriloquist, a.k.a. Arnold Wesker is a Batman villain whose multiple personality disorder led him to carry around an aggressive mafia-esque dummy named Scarface — which became the dominant personality of the duo, ordering Wesker around and verbally abusing him (even calling him a dummy). This makes Wesker a rather Tragic Villain. His core personality is mild-mannered and does not like what Scarface is doing or the abuse Scarface heaps on him, but cannot seem to break with the idea that he and Scarface are separate individuals. In one instance, Wesker actually shoots Scarface while the dummy is still on his hand, then fails to notice that his hand is bleeding. Wesker himself (occasionally) seems to think Scarface is not an alternate personality, but a case of demonic possession. The second Ventriloquist was much the same, except we were told why she'd had a mental breakdown and taken over Wesker's schtick. Unless, of course, Scarface really is the combined ghosts of all the murderers hanged on the gallows he was carved from. The New 52 version of the Ventriloquist has a dummy that has drills built into its hands, making it a threat in its own right. She also has telekinesis, so it really does look like Ferdie can move under his own power. |

In the children's fantasy novel Fablehaven, the witch Muriel has an enchanted, living evil puppet named Mendigo, whom she uses to do her evil bidding (since she herself is bound to a specific hut). She also attempts to use him to gain the trust of the main characters by making him "dance" and "do tricks" for them, but they're all put off by how unnatural his movements are. In the second book, he does a Heel–Face Turn and becomes a servant of the good guys. He's still creepy, but he's no longer evil. | |

The edges of this are explored in Book of the New Sun. Baldanders is the giant simple-minded puppet to the diminutive and foxy looking Dr. Talos, and they do work the stage, but Baldanders sometimes seems out of control. Baldanders is really the demonic genius, and Dr. Talos is his own creation. The real puppet (publicly puppet master) Talos has personal attributes of loyalty and lawfulness, and the real puppet master (publicly puppet) has the demonic and unpredictable nature. They share the attribute of complete ruthlessness, so fit the trope either way you look at it. | |

He frequently bickers with, and even punches, his meek partner Ben. But let's get to the creepy part. The reason Ben and Trilo were near the crime scene was that Trilo was going to propose to Regina. The puppet was going to propose. Regina seems to think this was perfectly normal, and we never get Ben's thoughts on the subject. |

The Dummy in Ruby Quest, although it's not a ventriloquist dummy. It's made of leather, has a noose around its neck, has eyes that glow in the dark, swivels to look at the camera without any outside influence, is probably stuffed with the flesh of an Eldritch Abomination... | |

The dummy Fats from Magic. Even Anthony Hopkins, who played his ventriloquist, reportedly thought Fats was terrifying. According to the IMDB, Hopkins was allowed to take the Fats dummy home to work with between shoots. However, he wound up becoming so unnerved by it that he called the consulting ventriloquist in the middle of the night, threatening to throw the dummy into a nearby canyon if someone didn't come and get it immediately. Richard Attenborough, the movie's director, ended up going to Hopkins' house to calm him down. Gary Oldman depicted Fats for a 2011 New York Times piece. Just... see for yourself. |

SpongeBob SquarePants has ChefBob from the episode of the same name. It seems to have a mind of its own, insulting Krusty Krab patrons in comedic ways. While they enjoy it, it's much to SpongeBob's dismay to the point where he starts to fight it. The puppet can somehow hold and fight with a spatula perfectly. While SpongeBob wins in the end and ChefBob is thrown away, it's then revealed that the puppet is still alive and has its own TV show. | |

ALF had a ventriloquist puppet in one episode, with the puppet slowly taking the dominant part of the relationship. Though it is not entirely clear how much of that was just another of ALF's stunts to get attention and have someone to shovel the blame on. | |

Karin gives us "Boogey-kun," the most frequently seen of Anju's dummies/Imaginary Friends. As the series progresses, it's increasingly implied that Boogey-kun may not be all that imaginary... In the manga, Boogey-kun is explicitly revealed to be the ghost of a dead serial killer trapped in the doll. |

Although an episode never goes by without one of the four puppets who comprise the main cast killing someone, Bill is responsible for the largest portion of the body count. | |

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Puppet Show", people are getting murdered around the school. One of Buffy's classmates, Morgan, is caught yelling at his dummy, Sid, in a way that implies that Sid is alive and murderous. Sid later attacks Buffy, but it turns out that the dummy is inhabited by the ghost of a demon hunter and that he thought Buffy was the one killing the other students. | |

In Once by Two Door Cinema Club, the band members are all second hat to their own ventriloquist dummies. The dummies get all of the credit for singing and performing and are the ones attended to by groupies, press, and the backstage crew. Eventually, the band members have enough and attempt murder several times before cutting off their own hands to be rid of the dummies. | |

Juri Katou from Digimon Tamers had a Hand Puppet that she used to talk by proxy. While not creepy by itself, it was reflective of deeper issues. Later, it transitioned into flat-out creepy at about the same time the D-Reaper made its first appearance. This is not a coincidence. | |

The first boss of Stage 2 in Night Slashers is a duo consisting of an old man with a bell and a marionette who prevent the heroes from following the carriage. The marionette walks-or-dances around as if on strings, even though there are none. He sometimes throws his head to attack, laughs maniacally, and may temporarily fall apart if hit with a special move. He burns up upon defeat. | |

On a more humorous note, The Tick featured The Human Ton and Handy, a barely sentient 2000 lbs. Giant Mook with a green hand puppet that appeared to have a mind of its own and bossed The Human Ton around. Not to mention that Handy was considerably smarter than his handler - and all of the other supervillains they teamed up with for that matter. Intriguingly enough, for all the verbal abuse Handy put him through, The Human Ton's immediate reaction to having Handy removed was to scream loudly and faint. Its implied that Handy is simply the personification of The Ton's split personality, similar to The Ventriloquist from Batman, as he can't move or speak on his own, and when he attempts to use the Desirovac in "Grandpa Wore Tights", it doesn't work for him, implying that he doesn't have a mind of his own. | |

In one episode of The Smurfs (1981), Jokey is practicing a ventriloquism act for the talent show the village is having, with a dummy made to look like Gargamel. Unfortunately, after he and the others successfully flee from the real Gargamel, he drops it, and the evil wizard finds it; furious at being made fun of, he uses an incantation from a book of spells to bring it to life as an evil creature and let Jokey find it, so it can wreak havoc in the village. | |
