Like the new look, Rob. Good work, mate.
Thanks, Terry. Glad you like it. It’s gone down well so far. The only problem I’m having with it is that I can’t get it to display my links!
How annoying…I link to Cat’s blog via this site.
Nick, I did put a link page at the top, though. I just can’t get it to display automatically.
Just found this site today. Very cool, added to favorites.
Hi, I love your lists of movies, especially the Evil Doll Movie List. However, there is one movie I cannot find. It was a TV movie, it might have been an episode of Night Gallery, maybe from the late 70′s. It was about a little Zulu warrior doll a woman receives as a present. A note attached to the doll says that you should not let the spear fall out of its hand. She thinks it is a joke. One day the doll falls down and the spear falls out of its hand, and then the little warrior demon doll comes alive and starts terrorizing her all through the house. In the end, the doll wins and the woman becomes possessed with the spirit of the doll. Anyone remember this TV short movie?
Steve C, Sounds to me as though you’re talking about the famous “Amelia” episode of the anthology film TRILOGY OF TERROR (1975). Not a “Zulu” doll, but a “Zuni” doll. Check this detailed plot summary on Wikipedia:
