In the real life case Robert Eugene Otto (Gene) was first given Robert the Doll in 1906, when he was just six years old, by an angry Bahamian servant with an interest in black magic and voodoo. It was rumored that the gift was the servant's revenge for being mistreated by the Otto family. Eugene Otto kept Robert by his side until his death in 1974. It is rumored that Otto's wife, Anne, was driven insane by her husband's lifelong devotion to the doll.
The true story of Robert the Doll was allegedly the inspiration for Chucky, the doll featured in the horror film series Child's Play.
The real life Robert the Doll is now on display at the East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida. Visitors to the Museum must ask for the doll's permission before taking a photograph. Anyone who chooses to take a picture without the doll's permission will apparently be cursed for all eternity. There are numerous letters displayed on the wall of the museum from people asking Robert to remove the curse he placed on them. The custom of Museum visitors asking for Robert's permission to take his photograph is included in this film.
In the UK the film reached #1 in the HMV New Releases DVD Chart.
Myrtle Reuter purchased the Otto home in 1974 and inherited the doll along with the property. She kept Robert when she moved to Von Phister Street six years later. In 1994 she donated Robert to the East Martello Museum claiming he moved around her house on his own and was haunted. Myrtle died a few months later.
