Adoption Notice

Every doll is one of a kind. Once she's adopted, she's gone forever.

The Haunted Adoption Archive Nemo's Nightmares

Adopt your nightmare.

Handcrafted horror dolls and creepy creations, sculpted one at a time in a small Vermont studio.

Adoption Notice

Each piece is sculpted, burned, painted and stitched by hand — when she's adopted, she is gone forever.

Note № 01 From the dollmaker's table

I make and sell horror-based art, with a focus on hand-crafted horror dolls.

I'm Kirsten — the hands behind Nemo's Nightmares. I take 18-inch vinyl dolls and turn them into one-of-a-kind nightmares: burned, painted, scarred and stitched until every piece is its own little horror story.

Every doll is one of a kind. Once she's adopted, she's gone forever.

Display-ready creations

Every 18-inch nightmare ships with a sturdy stand. Unbox her, stand her up, let the haunting begin.
