As far as pranks go, no matter how hard the citizens of Brazil try to scare the feijoada out of their fellow countrymen and -women, they’ll never be able to top the infamous “ghost elevator” (I haven’t been able to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory since). But “living doll” comes pretty darn close.
It’s not nearly as terrifying, but the clip does feature two of my favorite things: traumatized young children and sound effects straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. The eyes wide open squeak is a classic. The actors they hired to play the dolls are giving me some serious post-traumatic Willy Wonka disorder, though…
