Did anyone see the movie "Trilogy of Terror", with the little African doll that had an evil spirit inside it & he chased the lady around the house with a huge knife? I can't think of anything that terrorized my childhood more than that movie. I was CONVINCED that he was under my bed and would stab me in the toes if I stood by the bed, so for years I stood at the bedroom door & took a running leap to the bed. Then had to stand up and reach W A Y out to catch the string to turn the light out.
