Description

A sequel to La boîte à musique/The Music Box. The attic has been sealed since the tragic events of The Music Box. The daughter of the surviving sister and her family are spending the summer in the old family house, and the daughter, a young goth, decides to visit the attic. She plays and dances with a rag doll she finds there. The rag doll comes to life, and animates other dolls and toys in the attic, including a sinister doll. The sinister doll fills the attic with skeletons and zombies, including the girl's dead aunt. The frightened girl picks up a crucifix as protection, trying to leave the attic. But she stumbles and drops the crucifix, allowing the ghouls to overtake her. Her aunt and the ghouls attach strings to her arms and legs, turning her into a doll.
