I mean, c'mon.... Karen Black being chased around by that psychotic killer voodoo doll?

This one's a classic!

Anyone else enjoy this flick?

That particular short was actually based on a book by Richard Matheson, who wrote one of the greatest stories about vampires ever, "I am Legend". If you buy the trade paperback of the aforementioned, it includes that short story.

... What are you waiting for, move your ass!

This was the scariest thing I had ever seen when it first showed on tv. I loved the fact that the sequal picked-up right where the zuni fetish doll story left off. There was another sequal to this not long after the original but the network changed the name from Trilogy to something else. There was a really scary story about a boy who had drownd years ago but showed up at his mother's house on a rainy night. He wanted to play hide and seak with a butcher knife. Very creepy stuff.

Jesus, Karen Black grinning with those razor sharp teeth at the end of the movie haunted my dreams for days and days afterwards!!! Definitely a must see! The first two installments in the movie?? eh, they were okay, not great.

Count me in. Seeing this movie for the first time at age 3 or 4 is possibly the earliest memory I retain. I'm not kidding. Scared the shit outta me, and, along with the original HALLOWEEN, traumatized me so bad I've still got a fascination with horror films to this day. PREY is the title of the Matheson story, and DEAD OF NIGHT is the name of the forgotten first follow-up. I have it on VHS, if anyone's interested in buying a copy. That last story (BOBBY in DEAD OF NIGHT) IS way freaky, and I'm sure Stephen King had it in mind when he was writing the conclusion to PET SEMATARY. There's also a segment of Brian Yuzna's NECRONOMICON that is basically a remake of the same tale.
Funny how the other stories in TRILOGY and DEAD OF NIGHT are pretty forgettable, then "WHAM!" at the end...

In the first Trilogy of Terror, there were appearances by some Dark Shadow alumni. In the sequel, Lysette Anthony from the newer version of DS was in it.
