But before we get started, I have to warn you: if you're afraid of dolls, clowns, or ventriloquist dummies, you might want to turn back now. This list is not for the faint of heart.

Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, let's get started.

Dead Silence (2007) - This movie follows a young widower who returns to his hometown, only to discover a connection between a local legend and a mysterious ventriloquist doll. The scene where the doll comes to life and starts attacking people is nightmare fuel.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) - In the episode "The Puppet Show," Buffy and her friends investigate a talent show where the performers are mysteriously dying. It turns out that a demonic ventriloquist dummy is behind the killings. The scene where the dummy removes its own face is both creepy and impressive.
Twilight Zone (1960-1964) - In the episode "The Dummy," a struggling ventriloquist becomes convinced that his dummy is alive and trying to control him. The scene where the dummy moves on its own and talks to the ventriloquist is enough to make your skin crawl.
Goosebumps (1995-1998) - The episode "Night of the Living Dummy II" features Slappy, a ventriloquist dummy who comes to life and causes all sorts of mischief. The scene where Slappy tries to make the protagonist his slave is both creepy and hilarious.

Every time he tells a joke, someone he loves disappears. The scene where the comedian's ventriloquist dummy starts speaking on its own is both creepy and tragic.
The X-Files (1993-2002) - In the episode "Chinga," a ventriloquist doll possessed by a vengeful spirit causes all sorts of chaos and violence. The scene where the doll convinces a woman to stick her hand in a blender is particularly gruesome.
