A stock trick in any Hollywood Voodoo practitioner's arsenal is the Voodoo Doll, a tiny figurine or stitched-up cloth doll created to vaguely resemble another person (sometimes using that person's hair or blood) which is then tormented in various ways, such as by being held over a fire or jabbed with needles. As the doll is damaged, so is the person connected to it, making it a wonderful long-range means of revenge. In reality, so-called "voodoo dolls" are not a part of Vodou at all. They originated in Europe where they were called poppets, just as likely to be used for long-distance healing or simple communication. Vodou's actual use of dolls (which have nothing to do with sympathetic magic) was most likely mistaken for this by European onlookers. And contrary to what Hollywood shows, they aren't just for torture. Some places in New Orleans and Haiti do sell "voodoo dolls" marketed to ignorant tourists, though. Occasionally Played for Laughs in which the victim jerks around like a puppet when the doll is moved. Incidentally, there is a real Vodou practice involving sticking nails into dolls, but all they do is nail them to trees to serve as guides to wandering spirits. If you see someone pounding nails to a straw doll in anime or manga, in most cases it's not Hollywood Voodoo but a Japanese curse ritual called ushi no toki mairi ("Visit to a Shrine at the Hour of the Ox"), so named due to the ritual being traditionally carried out between 1 and 3 AM, which is the Hour of the Ox. The straw dolls involved are called wara ningyo. There are also paper dolls known as katashiro. It can be considered a type of a Reality-Changing Miniature. For other ways of taking out frustrations on an image of an enemy (but not actually damaging them), see Dartboard of Hate, Stab the Picture, and Mustache Vandalism. |

Swallows and Amazons: In Swallowdale, Titty makes a wax doll of the Amazons' great-aunt, hoping to use it to weaken her and stop her spoiling her great-nieces' holiday. When she accidentally melts the doll, she's terrified that she's killed the great-aunt. Fortunately, This Is Reality and her attempt at magic has no effect. | |

Bleach: Szayelaporro Granz, one of Aizen's minions, possesses the ability to make anyone into a voodoo doll. Like traditional voodoo dolls, he can cause them pain by hitting the doll. However, he takes his ability a step further. He can pull the doll apart and destroy any internal organs and bones by crushing the pieces in his fingers. This is the perfect way of torturing his victims before killing them. That opening the dolls doesn't hurt the victim is briefly played as a joke. | |

CSI: NY: In "Boo," a voodoo doll of a man is found in the remains of a hemp coffin that he crawled out of after being buried alive. He and his wife had faked his death in a plan to collect his life insurance so he had been drugged with tetrodotoxin for an open casket funeral. Unbeknownst to him, his wife had paid a Vodou shop owner to put a curse on him. Believing that he was really dead, the owner brought the doll to the service and placed it in the coffin because she thought it was the most fitting place for it to be. | |

The Simpsons: In "Homer and Apu", when Homer falls sick with food poisoning, Dr. Hibbert suggests it was caused by either spoilt food or voodoo. Patty and Selma refute this, claiming "We've mostly been working the eyes" while taking out a voodoo doll of Homer with pins stuck in its eyes. Near the end of "The Joy of Sect", Moe pokes a voodoo doll of Barney in the belly with a miniature beer bottle, which makes Barney crave a drink. |

The doll is given to a gorilla to play with, and after abusing it for a while, the ape decides to throw the doll into a nearby volcano.

Dark Gathering: Yayoi binds her captured ghosts in stuffed dolls which she then implants with hair or nail trimmings from her team members. If a ghost attacks the team, the damage will be redirected onto one of the dolls and the ghost it contains instead. This has the benefit of being relatively easy to fix and making the injured ghost angry at the attacking ghost. | |

A variation is shown in Darkwing Duck episode "Bad Luck Duck". Negaduck happens upon a witch doctor who possessed a mystic amulet which can enchant clay figurines to control whatever real object they resemble. After witnessing the witch doctor use it to tame an erupting volcano, Negaduck steals the amulet to use it for chaos, using statues made of kooky clay to create several Animate Inanimate Objects, including bringing to life a lion statue and the hippo-shaped burger stand Hamburger Hippo. | |

A second was sent to the museum curator as an Implied Death Threat by Celeste (the titular Werewolf) as her only warning before she came in and murdered him. the third was planted on the protagonist by Celeste to create a wedge between him and his love interest.

In The Dresden Files, thaumaturgy is one of the most common forms of magic used. Harry Dresden describes it as doing something small and having it happen big, and frequently uses Voodoo Dolls as an example of the concept. When actual dolls are involved, their exact shape and size is irrelevant provided they approximate whatever is supposed to be affected, and they are connected through blood or hair to the affected party. The villain of Storm Front used live rabbits in his thaumaturgic death spells. When he scooped the rabbit's heart out with a spoon, the target's chest would explode. In Fool Moon, Harry uses the principle to temporarily disable a very powerful loup-garou. The doll he uses is a stuffed plush toy from the Special Investigations office that is otherwise used to amuse children waiting for their parents. In the time between Fool Moon and Grave Peril, Harry used a Ken doll as the focus for his spell to bind the powers of a warlock that he and Special Investigations were pursuing. He later makes the joking insult that the spell worked so well because it was anatomically correct. |

In Another Note, the Serial Killer's Calling Card is a wara ningyo doll nailed into the wall, much in the way such a doll would be traditionally nailed to a tree to wish harm to whoever was being targeted. This leads to In-Universe speculation that the killer either is Japanese or has a grudge against Japanese people or both. It turns out, however, that the dolls serve as a sort of countdown; the first crime scene has four, then three, two, and Naomi and Rue have to try and stop the last one. That one is Rue, or rather Beyond Birthday, though it doesn't go according to plan...and yes, there is a wara ningyo in that room. | |

Later, she has the zombies pin King up against a wall while she slashes at his doll with a razor, causing bleeding gashes to open up on his body. When Sugar tells Baron Samedi to put Valentine out of commission but not kill him, he sticks a pin in his doll's leg, causing him to suffer a Staircase Tumble and break his leg. | |

In Wise Child, Wise Child has a vague childhood memory of finding such a doll in her mother Maeve's possession and mistaking it for a regular doll to play with, leading to Maeve slapping her. At Maeve's house, she discovers that Maeve made such a doll of Wise Child's mentor, Juniper, and wrapped wire around the head. This is what gives Wise Child the final push to leave her and return to Juniper, who turns out to be ill with a headache because of the doll. After Wise Child tells her about it, they bathe themselves in water infused with rowan leaves as protection against it. | |

That Hoodoo Voodoo That You Do has effigies used by several of the ritual magicians involved in the anthology. Given it's an anthology about occult horror, they tend to work pretty well. | |

Homestuck: Die has a voodoo doll which erases people from the timeline altogether until the pin representing them is removed from the doll. This may take effect retroactively or not, and can be used to kill people or bring them back from the dead (by placing their pin on the doll after their death, then removing the pin). It's later revealed that it doesn't really kill/resurrect someone, but transports the person holding the doll to an alternate timeline where that person is already dead/alive. Stitch has effigies that represents people whose hats are placed on them. The effigies reflect the injuries of the people they represent, and vice versa. Stitch uses these effigies to patch up his allies remotely, although can also do the classic depiction of this trope by harming the effigies. If the person that the effigy represents dies, the effigy will burn up and become scorched. |

Raven's skeleton plush/purse in the Our Own League books. She fears dipping too deep into her powers since her demonic father is the source, so she uses the doll as a conduit and Power Limiter. When she moves it with telekinesis, the intended target is manipulated as well. After becoming a patron of the Goddess Hecate, less evil magic becomes available to Raven and she no longer depends on the doll. | |

One of these is used in the novella "Magic, Inc." by Robert A. Heinlein. Oddly enough, although that story is firmly in Magitek territory—blatantly magical powers are an everyday part of life in the setting, with no hint of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane—it is stated that voodoo dolls work only by the power of suggestion (although they do work very well by the power of suggestion). | |

Mojo Jojo then points out to them that they're not supposed to give the girls the dolls, they're supposed to keep the dolls and stick needles in them. Played straight in "I See a Funny Cartoon in Your Future" when Madame Argentina buys three voodoo dolls of the girls and uses them to torture them. The girls get back at her by buying a voodoo doll of her duck sidekick, Fred, and barbecuing it. |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In a Don Rosa comic, Scrooge and Donald are captured by a Haitian witch doctor, who begins making voodoo fethishes in their likeness. Donald, angry at Scrooge for getting them into the situation, starts kicking Scrooge, claiming the doll is making him do it, until the witch doctor calls him out. Later, after the spell has taken effect, the pair try to escape the hut they're trapped in by having Scrooge throw the Donald doll out the window while Donald is holding the Scrooge doll, with the end result that they all go flying out the window. They end up confronted by the witch doctor, who throws the dolls into a boiling pot. Scrooge and Donald cry that they can feel themselves melting away, until the doctor explains that destroying the dolls broke the spell, as the nephews had explained to him that they weren't their enemies. | |

M*A*S*H: The episode "Preventative Medicine" has a subplot concerning yet another of Klinger's crazy schemes to get a Section 8 — he goes around putting Voodoo curses on Col. Potter, and even has a poppet made in Potter's image. The scheme backfires when the main plot intervenes: Hawkeye and BJ drugged a overzealous colonel to get him to fake gastritis/appendicitis in a bid to take him off the line before trying another suicidal attack on a Communist-held position so he can win more fame and glory. The effects of the drug kicked in just as Klinger stuck the first needle into the Potter poppet, leading Klinger to think he somehow accidentally cursed the wrong colonel and he ends up abandoning the "voodoo" curse game out of severe remorse. | |

Subverted in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "The Worry Men". The titular dolls supposedly give good dreams and take worries away when put under the owner's pillow while they sleep.note Truth in Television; Guatemalan worry dolls can be found in many places, or you can make your own. One of Bruce Wayne's wealthy friends buys some of these "worry men" dolls on a trip to Central America, and distributes them among Gotham City's when she returns home. However, the worry men are actually infused with the Mad Hatter's mind control technology, which he uses to manipulate the wealthy Gothamites into robbing themselves. Batman wrecks the plan and captures the Mad Hatter, and as Bruce Wayne pays to fly the legitimate Hollywood Voodoo practitioner who the Hatter forced to help him back to Central America. The worry men's magic turns out to be Real After All when the practitioner gives Batman a worry man that helps him sleep... and also gave the Mad Hatter a different type of worry man that gives him nightmares. | |

The Martin Mystery episode "You Do Voodoo" is all about a shaman who makes voodoo dolls that affect the town. Amusingly, the day is saved because Diana had recently given herself a makeover, and thus the shaman based the doll on her new look. By reverting to her old look, the spell of the doll no longer affects her, and she is able to free the others. | |

The Wara Wara no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit in One Piece that grants its consumer control over straw. One was eaten by Basil Hawkins. He uses the straw to create Voodoo Dolls, which he stores inside his own body. When attacked, he remains unharmed no matter the impact as any and all violence is redirected to the nearest bystanders. They don't tend to survive that. Basil furthermore can enhance his weaponry with the straw and on occasion covers himself in straw to turn into a giant effigy with metal nails for claws. | |

In the early part of the manga, she also has a large amount of Ren-themed ones as well.This later becomes a point when she gives Maria a realistic Ren-doll for her birthday. In more recent arcs, she has created a Reino doll in around 7 minutes. | |

A number of cards from the early days of Magic: The Gathering (such as Black Vise and The Rack) feature a poppet getting maimed somehow to represent effects that targeted your opponent. The poppet itself got its own card in Time Spiral, Stuffy Doll. Not to forget the actual Voodoo Doll card itself, which plays up the "black magic" theme despite being an artifact by putting demands on its user as well — the cost to activate it goes up each turn (as does the damage it inflicts), and once the player can no longer pay it it's apt to blow up in their face if they have no alternative method of keeping it tapped. Lynde, Cheerful Tormentor is shown with a doll designed to look like the "Unluckiest Planeswalker", a fan-beloved character shown on a cycle of curses from an earlier release, for example this one. |

From that point forward, whenever Zeb fondles the doll, poor Ann can feel invisible hands caressing her, and occasionally sending her into sexual ecstasy.

The witch sneaks a gingerbread man of her partner into his belongings with a lipstick stained napkin. The man's wife sees this and crushes the cookie in a fit of jealousy. Cut to the man in the shower screaming in agony as blood fills the tub. The witch laughs in triumph and turns her assistant into a mouse again just for kicks. Suddenly she starts to get a headache. As the pain worsens, she realizes that her assistant must have baked a thirteenth cookie (hence a baker's dozen) that represented her. She shrieks off-screen while the camera focuses on a mouse nibbling the gingerbread man's head off... | |

The Voodoo Doll is one of Caleb's many weapons in Blood. Unlike other voodoo dolls, it basically hurts whatever is in front of Caleb when he stabs it with the pin, instead of being keyed to a single being. You can also rip the doll's head off to do extremely high damage to every enemy in front of you. If you use the doll and there's nothing in Caleb's line-of-sight, it damages Caleb instead. | |

Wu Mo from Legendary Weapons of China ends up falling under a voodoo doll's control halfway through the film, where his movements are limited to those performed by the doll representing him. Hilariously enough, Wu Mo is somehow able to fight off a whole bunch of mooks by having his voodoo doll mimicking fighting moves. And then more hilarity ensues when three of Wu's incompetent sidekicks get their hands on the doll and start passing around themselves, which translates in Wu Mo hopping, skipping, and sumersaulting himself all over the place in a ridiculous mamnner. The doll's spell is broken when Wu, being manipulated by the doll, crashes into his partners and sends all of them, doll included, into a creek, where the spell is dispelled by water. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Bernadetta is The Shut-In, so rumors spread that she uses dolls to curse others. In reality, dollmaking is an innocent hobby of hers. It doesn't help that her dolls look frightening enough to be haunted, as she's a Nightmare Fetishist. | |

Touhou: Alice, a character specializing in creative use of dolls, has been shown performing the Japanese ritual at least once. In Subterranean Animism, Parsee's "Midnight Anathema Ritual" is derived from the Japanese version. In this case, she's skipped the doll and is trying to pound nails into you directly, but the idea is there. As a result, she's often shown with such dolls in fanart and fangames, such as her incarnation in Touhou LostWord. |

Scion features voodoo dolls as a possible Relic for a child of the Loa; however, as the authors have done their research, they swiftly outline that the dolls are associated with hoodoo, but some of the Loa have picked them up for laughs. The description notes that they can be used to channel the Health Purview "and be sold to tourists for an outrageous markup." | |

One chapter from Urusei Yatsura has Lum use a clay-like substance moulded in the shape of Ataru to make him fly across his bedroom. Ataru attempts to use this substance as a voodoo doll against Cherry, but fails since he doesn't have something of Cherry's physical being to make the doll work. | |

One of Ashrah's fatalities in Mortal Kombat: Deception. She takes out a doll and uses her kris to stab the doll's torso. This causes her defeated opponent to gush blood. She stabs the doll's torso again, which causes her opponent to gush more blood. After stabbing the doll many more times, the opponent's arms fall off and they die. | |

The Smurfs (1981): A variant of this trope appears in the episode "Denisa's Greedy Doll" when Gargamel puts Greedy's apron on Denisa's doll and casts a spell on it so that whatever happens to the doll wearing the apron also affects Greedy. The Smurfs turn the tables by having the doll wear fabric from Gargamel's robe. | |

Terraria has the Guide Voodoo Doll, which will allow you to harm the guide. However, he respawns after you kill him. If you throw it in lava while in the Underworld, it causes Wall Of Flesh to spawn in addition to killing the guide normally, which turns on hardmode for your world if defeated. There's also the Clothier Voodoo Doll, which lets you kill the Clothier, which also summons Skeletron when done at night. |
