Talky Tina
Pediophobia has been explored in pop culture. A season five episode of The Twilight Zone entitled “Living Doll” aired in 1963. It centers on Talky Tina, a windup doll who says such cute phrases as, “My name is Talky Tina, and I love you very much”. Except around the patriarch of the family, a disgruntled stepfather. Around him, Talky Tina threatens murder. The ending chills to this day.
