10 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fates Worse Than Death
4. Becoming A Puppet (Season 1, Episode 9)
The ninth episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer features one of the creepiest monsters in the horror genre – a talking dummy.
At first, the Scooby Gang believe Sid (the talking dummy) to be a murderous psychopath. But as it turns out, Sid wasn’t always a dummy. He started life as a human but was cursed and transformed into a dummy by the Brotherhood of Seven. And the only way for Sid to break the curse is to kill the members of the Brotherhood.
Unfortunately for him, his original body is no longer around, and as a result, Sid dies immediately after defeating the last member of the Brotherhood.
This is hardly a fitting end for someone who used to be a demon hunter. Sid spent most of his existence imprisoned in the body of a creepy puppet and didn’t receive any reward when he finally completed his mission.
