...or something out of a horror movie.

Of course, it says Dolmen, not dollmen. Standing stones, a Celtic monument, often a tomb. That makes sense. If it's from MS it has to be pretty deadly.

...and after so many years, people will look at it and wonder what it was all about.

Actually, in 1940s American slang calling a guy a "real doll" probably meant he was a sweetheart. The term was more often used to describe women as pretty.

Nothing from MS is particularly pretty or sweet so that can't be it.

Oh, right... it's dolmen. I keep forgetting. I guess you have to play Meredith Monk's "Dolmen Music" when using it.
