Tthe LALtoday team loves a good fright every now and then. We’re big fans of things that go bump in the night — especially creepy dolls. In an effort to scope out those dolls of Halloweens past, and also support our local antique shops, we set out on a mission to find the creepiest dolls in Polk County.

Lloyds of Lakeland
A local jewel, Lloyds’ downtown location boasts booth after booth of antique items perfect to drum up feelings of nostalgia. If dolls are what you’re after, check the 35 dealers at Lloyds selling everything you can imagine.

Lakeland Antique Mall
This mall is a behemoth when it comes to antiques. It features items of all eras spread across the store, including, you guessed it, creepy dolls. Theme park fans will get a kick out of the old Disney World relics and memorabilia that you can’t find anywhere else.

Biggar’s Antiques
Dolls or not, Biggar’s is a great place to stop if you’re ever in the Lake Alfred area, and it’s “home to the most unique and unusual to be found, possibly anywhere.” Pro tip: If you ever find yourself in Atlanta, be sure to check out their Prop Shop.
