this was pretty good but a little too silly to really scare me. i’ve never thought dolls were scary so this didn’t get to me that much, i also thought the ending was kind of out of nowhere?? idk. i do love Hendrix’s writing though.

possibly triggering scenes:

mark sets a house on fire, possibly killing the people inside

gross scenes:

louise cuts her brothers arm off

there’s also a lot of talk about religion, demons, and growing up in a religious family. along with that,

there’s mentions of mark and his friends, when possessed by their Pupkin masks, killing and possibly eating neighborhood pets
