Trilogy of Terror | Year: 1975 Classification: Horror Directed: - Dan Curtis Actors/Actresses: - Karen Black Karen Black runs from a killing African Fetish Doll. This film is only 71 minutes long with three eerie stories to tell. We all remember this tv-movie when we first saw it on the ABC Network back in 1975 or our parents would not let us see it. They told us to go to bed. But, I bet our parents watched it. All three stories star Karen Black in four different roles. The first story is titled, "Julie". This story is only 25 minutes long. A student has naughty thoughts about his teacher. He has leered at her sitting on the desk and has committed voueyerism by watching her though the window of her home. The teacher never goes out anymore. She prefers to stay home. One day, the student asks her to go to the drive-in with him. She does to watch the scary movie. He offers to get some refreshments. When he does, he spikes her drink. You'll have to watch the rest to find out what happens. Gregory Harrison has a small part. Story #2 is titled, "Millicent And Therese". This story is 20 minutes long. A spinster woman believes her sister killed mother and is guided by Satan. This is the story she tells her sister's boyfriend, played by John Karlin (original Dark Shadows, ABC serial),but he does not believe one word of it. What more will this woman say or do to get people to pay attention to what she says her sister is and does? She continues to write further in her diary. Story #3 is titled, "Amelia". This story is 17 minutes long. This is the story we all remember in the tv commercials and we were so horrified to watch it. It was suspensful. Now that we are more mature, we would probably laugh at it. This one too stars Karen Black. A woman brings home a strange African Fetish Doll holding a sharp spear. The doll has a spirit that makes it come to life. If the chain around his ribs should break, he will come to life. Well, it does. Now in her bathrobe just before she takes a bath, she notices the doll is not on the table, she finds it under the couch, but is stabbed. She hears it running around, but she can not find it again. The lights go out. Again she is attacked. The doll is fast and she can't get away from it. She tries to hide, but the doll is swift and finds her to kill her. How will this ever end? Buy the video to find out! Note: Is this the first time in a network tv-movie we actually see a bathroom with a toilet and toilet paper on the hanger? Did you notice Karen Black's underwear changes color? A TV-Movie sequel was made in 1996 which includes the return of the Male African Fetish Doll. To Zuni Fetish Doll Haters, Wherever You May Be... I saw this movie (like MANY other reviewers) at an impressionable age (probably around 8 or 9 years old) on TV. Of course, the TV version was tamed down a bit due to nudity in the first story between the high school ... boy, Chad, who finds Karen Black's MUCHO OLDER teacher character sexy in that sort of "motherly/librarian" way. He drugs her, blackmails her with seedy pictures and thus the one sided affair ensues. As if you can really tame down the GREAT and MAGNIFICENT Karen Black. (See her in her Oscar nominated role in "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?) The second installment in the trilogy is about a good sister bad sister relationship. The weakest of the three but still HIGHLY enjoyable. The FINAL story is the one that STILL leaves me with nightmares. That little ZUNI ... doll coming to life, those sharp, pointy little teeth, his sharp little weapon, making that Nyaaaah, Nyaaah, Nyaaaaaaaah yell and then the end where Karen herself, turns into a Zuni Fetish doll lookalike with POINTY TEETH AND ALL! GRUESOME, GRUESOME, GRUESOME!!! Still makes me pee pee in my big girl [underwear]! LOL! Great acting. I truly believe Karen Black is an exceptional Actress This movie truly shows it. One review says this movie was boring i respect his opinion but you truly need to appreciate the Artistic quality of Karen Blacks acting ablties and a movie that does not need gore to be good. Sometimes horror movies are more Frightning When there is no gore. Anyhow I truly love this movie and I am upset that is out of print. I think it is a bit overpriced. I don't really know why this movie when out of print but I hope that anchorbay releases a Two dvd edition with both the first and second movie because the second one is great as well.Anyway if you have this dvd keep it because it is extremly Rare.
