Nobody puts baby in a corner.
Residents in the English village of Rochdale are freaking out after a giant baby doll was erected in the town square, with some petrified pedestrians describing the installation as “creepy.”
The 27-foot-tall toy tot, named Lilly, features giant moveable limbs and a mouth that opens and shuts like a plus-size Pinocchio, the BBC reported.
The doll was erected as part of a new campaign encouraging schoolchildren to talk about the importance of the environment.
School groups will reportedly “speak” to Lilly about their plans for looking after animals and nature.
In a video posted to the Rochdale Borough Council’s Facebook page, a group of schoolchildren is seen singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to the ginormous doll.
But while the youngsters didn’t seem spooked by the toy, some adult residents were feeling far more freaked out.
“I came around the corner and I thought, ‘It’s just creepy with its eyes shut, never mind open,’” one passerby told the BBC.
Another claimed that they’d “never seen anything like this in Rochdale before,” while another gawker dubbed the doll the “ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.”
A third compared the tot to something out of the 1990 sci-fi comedy “Honey I Shrunk the Kids.”
Lilly also sent shudders done Facebook users’ spines with one describing the doll as “demonic.”
Some said she reminded them of the animatronic puppet that oversees the deadly Red Light, Green Light game in the hit Korean horror series “Squid Game.”
It’s unclear when Lily will be removed from Rochdale’s downtown, but there are plans to have the doll displayed until at least Oct. 29, per the BBC.
