Trilogy of Terror (1975) Part 7

Dan Curtis, the creator and producer of such out-of-the-ordinary TV classics as the willfully offbeat gothic soap opera Dark Shadows and the proto-X-Files series The Night Stalker remains best known for this TV movie based on 3 short stories from horror genre writer Richard Matheson. In the first story, "Julie," Karen Black plays a mousy college professor blackmailed by an obsessed student, and in "Millicent and Therese" she plays sisters consumed with an intense hatred of one another that comes to a head when their father dies. Both of these films conclude with Twilight Zone-ish twists and are more clever than gripping, kept alive mostly by Black's gleefully theatrical performances. With "Amelia," however, Black delivers an almost solo show, playing against the famous Zuni fetish doll, a wooden statue that comes to life when the a protective chain slips off the figure and releases the evil spirit.

Now this is classic!!! They don't make them like this anymore, I know most nowadays kids think this is dumb and not scary, but it was scary for us kids in seventies and eighties when it was on re-run on late night scary movie night. Late night t.v. then was the greatest, you always knew they would play a good ol'horror movie, without question. This was one of the best, including "Something Evil", and "Don't Go To Sleep". Great late night t.v. for you to get a bit scared.

Man was this so much fun the first time I watched it when I was a kid in the eighties on one of it's many re-runs in late night t.v. Late night t.v. was way better then. You knew for sure there was going to a good horror movie on, without question. And this was one of them. There I was with my mom, eight brothers and sisters, with me included. I was terrified. My mom was like "I'm going to turn it off" and us. NO NO NO NO, okay fine then stop covering your eyes and pinching me. LOL, fun times.
