Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Doll in the Hall?

The Doll in the Hall is a new Halloween tradition for the whole family to enjoy. Similar to the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon except our dolls don't spy on kids to make sure they're being good. Our dolls act as an obstacle to beat, a sort of "boogieman". It's a fun way to teach kids how to be brave and overcome their fears.

How does The Doll in the Hall work?

Take your doll and book out of the keepsake box. Read the story to your children. During the night, while they sleep, move the doll to a different room of the house. You can create a spooky scenario for your children to discover when they wake up in the morning. You can make it as fun or as scary as you want. The more elaborate the setup the more real the illusion becomes.
