Did anyone else here notice ...

the baby doll at the stern of the row boat Jude and Alice Cable used to make their getaway in ? I was just wondering why it was on the boat in the first place - was it a " boater's luck charm " of sorts or merely a " novelty boat decoration " does anyone here know ? Of course IMPO thought it made the boat look quite cute & friendly but that's just me here . I watched this movie today on IFC .

Here is a picture of it from photos of Adrienne Barbeau's Profile .

Idk but it looks like something voodoo! Or "day of the dead."

I don't know either Dunshine . I think perhaps you may have mixed up this movie here with the TV Movie " From the Dead of Night " from 1989 . That one featured the " Day of the Dead Festival " ( which is also another good movie I would recommend here too - very creepy ) . I only hope that little baby doll on that boat isn't something " voodoo " but a good luck charm of sorts instead . Thanks Dunshine for your reply .

 Well DamianGein I guess if it were a " voodoo doll " at least it would be better than say a " Zuni Doll "   ? No sharp teeth required for a voodoo doll   . Thanks DamianGein for your reply  .
