I just had a flashback and remember watching a horrifying movie when I was little. This movie was the reason I was (read, is) afraid of the dark.
I don’t remember a whole lot of it. I remember there being a little skeleton like the kind you find in a African Tribal Store that holds a spear (which to this day I walk by very quickly). This thing came to life and was terrorizing this woman. It slashed her ankles. I remember she tried to put it in the microwave, tried to zip it in a suitcase.
I remember I was so scared I hid behind our big lazyboy chair!
I was under 12, so it would have been before 1984.
I saw this when I was young also (under 10) and it scared the crap out of me.
I told some friends about it when I was 20 something and convinced them that we should rent it.
Sorry, it just isn’t as scary when your over 10. It looks pretty silly nowdays.
Funny, I vividly remember the voodoo witch doctor doll segment, but I can’t for the life of me remember what the first two stories of the “trilogy” were about.
I seriously think I am emotionally scarred by this movie! I’m 32 years old and I have a NIGHT LIGHT in the hall way, and in the bathroom for those middle of the night trips to the potty. If I’m feeling really scared, I’ll bring the dog with me, like she’d save me pfft
I don’t remember being scared of the dark as a child at all. Not until I saw this movie!
