## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn chill in a suburban attic, dust motes circling a cracked porcelain face.  
A boy’s grief stirs something in the walls—spoon bends, pilot light flares, whispers behind closed doors.  
The dummy’s grin widens when no one’s looking.  
Feels like a Tobe Hooper picture babysat by a Z-grade Poltergeist knockoff.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, unhinged
