@Camazotz Automat Are you scared of puppets, really? Like for real? I am petrified of midgets little folks. A band that I was in years ago once played at some biker bar where all the sudden there was a group that had a lil person with them on the dance floor. She was what I would assume to be "hot" in a midget sort of way. The normal sized folks handed her around to each other as they danced for several songs. I was frozen on stage as I watched the little chick in her black leather biker jacket with all the zippers n' stuff. And her long swayed and flowed as they handed/passed around as she danced in her own sort of way while being held like a doll. Almost like a restless baby that made humping motions while being held by dancing moms and dads.
..I just don't fuckin' no anymore. 
@KSM Puppets are kind of like ouija boards. They don't bother me in real life, but if used correctly in a movie, can give me the creeps, like in MAGIC, or the little black doll in TRILOGY OF TERROR, or the dummy in DEAD OF NIGHT which truly ticked with my fear factor as a kid.
I used to collect Ouija boards. I even bought one from the owner of the Museum of Talking Boards. So they obviously don't bother me, but in some films I will feel a sense of dread if the director paces it right.
I was fascinated by midgets, dwarves, and little people as a kid. Some of that was strictly Wizard of Oz imprinting I think?
