It's hard for me to imagine a time when people didn't find ventriloquist dummies to be downright terrifying, and these pictures prove they were the stuff of nightmares well before Rod Serling turned them into cold blooded killers on the Twilight Zone.
These old timey portraits of ventriloquists and their dummies come from the Vintage Ventriloquism Flickr group, who are dedicated to sharing and preserving these unnerving portraits with the world.
Thanks guys, now I'm gonna need a cocktail and a sleeping pill just to get to sleep tonight!

That photograph reminds me of one of Roland Emmerich's first movies "Joey". It's basically E.T. with some other stories mixed in, but the part with the evil ventriloquist dummie is really cool.
