Product Description

Legendary producer / director Dan Curtis (DARK SHADOWS, THE NIGHT STALKER) teams up with writers Richard Matheson (I AM LEGEND, THE TWILIGHT ZONE) and William F. Nolan (LOGAN’S RUN, BURNT OFFERINGS) to present three tales of horrific suspense in this made-for-television anthology that also showcases the tremendous acting talent of Karen Black (FIVE EASY PIECES, THE DAY OF THE LOCUST), who plays no less than four distinct roles. In "Julie," an aggressive college student seduces and ultimately blackmails his seemingly shy English professor. In "Millicent and Therese," two polar-opposite sisters become increasingly hell-bent on the undoing of one another. And in "Amelia," a woman falls prey to a murderous Zuni fetish doll.

saw this on TV when I was five, had to watch my sister's TV, that it was on, from the other end of my parent's room which was on the other side of the house (but with all the doors open, could still see my sister's tube); even from like fifteen yards away, the doll's menacing "being", radical face, and relentless behavior blew me away for months and years post..........the 2nd life disturbing horror movie that my innocent life of a lamb was affected by, after my first: "It's Alive"

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic 70's Horror
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2019

This film is a Karen Black tour de force. She excels in the four roles she was asked to play. No other way to say it, she was great in this movie. Watching this it is hard to imagine that this was a made for TV anthology. It gets into some deep subject matter. They really pushed the envelope for what could be shown on TV. Don't go into it looking for breasts and blood. This was made for TV. The stories they chose for this likewise are intriguing. All of the stories work. They give enough for a satisfactory experience. It doesn't leave you wanting as some anthologies sadly do. They start, develop, get their hook in then complete. Excellent editing and direction throughout. Its very 70s in its storytelling which is great. There is very little fluff every moment is used well. I really can't say enough. If classic horror is your thing then I highly recommend it.

Finally, for those of you who have played Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Therese / Millicent is the basis for Therese / Jeanette. It is worth watching just for that Karen Black performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Fabulously Terrorizing! What A Great Blast from TV Past!
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008

One late night in 1977 my sister and I were watching the late night horror movie on Detroit's local ABC station WXYZ. As suspense/horror/mystery fans, we had seen almost all the classic and features from the kitchy "Wood" movies and Hammer horrors to the slasher films that were reaching a fever pitch about then. But of all the movies we had seen up to that date, nothing scared us two teenage fans to the point that we stood on our respective sofas, afraid to put our feet down. Before Ms. Black got to the sofa, we had run into my mother's room screaming "Ma! You gotta see this!!" pulling her out of bed. All three of us were standing on one couch, laughing and screaming. It was the best scare of our lives to that point. The two preceeding features were so wonderfully and intererestingly written, but the screenwriter was a master of so many favorites of ours at that time. I won't give more away.. you'll have to buy it to enjoy it.(reviews are not book reports and I feel they should give the writers impression of the work, not an autopsy, and pique the curiosity of the reader)
I purchased this version a few weeks ago and it is very clean and clear and has great sound. I never thought I'd ever see it on DVD. When it arrived, I shared it with my metalbabies and we all had a horrifyingly great time.
Metaldiva Sez: This is so much scary fun to watch. Fans of this richly creative time in "made-for-tv" movie history will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Funny: Karen Black Sinks a New High In Camp
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2010
Verified Purchase
This movie dated 1975 was produced and directed by legendary Dan Curtis and like his earlier series "Dark Shadows" there are several unintentional funny moments. Richard Matheson was co-writer of the stories and wrote several great episodes of "Ghost Story," which is the first time I laughed at Karen Black in the episode "Bad Connection." Please read my review on this. There are 3 short stories, which starred Ms. Black. The first one "Julie" about a wallflower college professor who gets blackmailed by one of her students. It is funny to see Karen in a drab role. Then, she plays two sisters in "Millicent and Therese," one is again a drab sister and the other is a boxum blonde sister. The boxum blonde portrayal is what makes you laugh and how the drab sister sister complains about her is funny. When you think you have seen Karen Black at her campy best, you are in a really nice treat in "Amelia." This is about a woman controlled by her mother, who buys a Zuni fetish doll. Ha, ha, the doll comes to life and starts attacking Karen. Instead of being scared even with blood being seen, I couldn't stop laughing. This episode is so crazy and unintentionally funny. Famous line from Karen Black, "I can't believe this is happening to me." Please buy this dvd and invite some friends, who love to laugh. The last episode alone is worth buying. There is a surprise ending but watching Ms. Black interact with the doll is so funny, who cares about an ending. Ms. Black I love you and will be looking for more of your funny movies. A+ to your dvd collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a treat to see this finally on DVD
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2006

I think I've enjoyed reading the other reviews just as much as waiting for Tuesday when this made for tv movie is finally released via wide/affordable distribution! I so relate to the other viewers here who saw this movie when they were younger. I remember the first two tales in this movie were ok, Karen Black is one of the great consumate actresses of the 70's I feel in the horror/disaster genre. She performed her three roles here with absolute freedom to do what she does best, but really shines in the last tale which I KNOW for most of you stands out the most.

My first experience seeing the third tale of Karen portraying a young woman terrorized by an Indian doll whose evil spirit was accidentally set loose being one of sheer terror. Hey all, remember the scene where she traps the doll in the suitcase and we see the knife coming up through it, cutting a hole open? I could absolutely not move from that couch, neither could my sister. We were genuinely frightened. I also remember reading later in the TV guide about the making of the third tale and of how the simple concept of rollerskates gave the picture of the doll running around the apt. constantly terrorizing Karen's character. No high digital effects-rollerskates! Simplicity sometimes brings the best results, modern day movie people!

I look forward to adding this to my 70's tv DVD collection and will enjoy. Also, bet many of you didn't have color tv when you first saw it. For those of you who can relate and haven't caught this flick on tv for ages like me, we are going to enjoy!!
