these dreams

I could've saved this one for Halloween -

When I was a kid, my aunt (only a few years older than me) sent me up to the attic to get a boardgame. When I opened the attic door, a plastic doll that was taller than I was fell forward on top of me.

It was a clever prank by my aunt, but little Banes was an innocent lad, and the moment created several years of recurring nightmares for me about gigantic monster dolls.

There were two or three variations, but I think I had the dreams dozens of times. One where my brother and I scrambled to hide from the doll, and it found and grabbed me to take me away, and another where it was coming up the basement stairs and I threw shoes down at it to stop it (finally i was fighting back!)

The movie Dead Silence had a flashback sequence featuring a little boy and a giant doll-like woman that reminded me very much of those childhood nightmares.
