Reading an old thread brought to mind something I saw as a kid on late night TV in the mid 70’s. Not sure if it was a movie or TV show, but the only thing I remember about it was there was a regular family in a regular house, and they somehow got possession of a odd/scary looking figurine about a foot tall, and the figure came to life and started attacking them. I remember one scene I think where they went in a room to hide, locked the door, and the figure broke through. Come to think of it, there may be a lot of shows or films with this premise. Can anyone help with a title, I would love to see this again. ---

I remember her being terrorized by a little doll but I don’t recall her having a family. ---

With Karen Black, Robert Burton, John Karlen, George Gaynes. Three bizarre horror stories all of which star Karen Black in four different roles playing tormented women. First two stories were pretty lame, but the one with the voodoo doll has become somewhat of a cult classic. ---
