Although Dr. Facilier's plot hinges on killing Big Daddy La Bouff with a Hex doll (commonly known as a Voodoo doll), and has several other dolls in his hideout, such dolls are unknown in the actual practice of Voodoo. The concept of using these cursed dolls to attack a victim comes from European witchcraft; many accused witches in the 17th century were charged with attacking their enemies by sticking pins into such dolls. The dolls were not linked to Voodoo until the 20th century, when many writers and film producers began to portray Voodoo as a form of evil sorcery.
