Mary Shaw is terrifying because her presence is tied to absolute silence, making every creak and whisper feel dangerous. Her pale, doll-like appearance and wide, frozen eyes make her look inhuman, and the way she moves feels deliberate and predatory. The scariest moment happens when she appears in the shadows, forcing a character to stay silent as she slowly approaches. Her connection to ventriloquist dolls adds another layer of fear since they move even when she’s not there. Judith Roberts played Mary Shaw and gave her an eerie calmness that makes her even scarier.
