Scariest Movie ever!!

this thread is so awesome!! i was also traumatized by this movie at a young age. all i remember is the doll cutting itself out of a suitcase and very large teeth.
i also remember **spoilers**
the segment where karen was being traumatized by.....herself!!!!!!!! i remember as a kid thinking that i didn't see that one coming!

"sometimes i doubt your committment to sparkle motion"

I saw this movie a long time ago and don't remember too much about it, except for the doll and Karen Black crouched on the floor w/ the knife and the teeth. Creepy. But I think the one movie that's ever really scared me, although, I wouldn't call it horror, was "When a Stranger Calls". As an adult, I still can't watch it alone. I think alot of it has to do w/ that fact that I have been in my house w/ a stranger before. Someone had broken in while I was at school and I was in the house w/ him maybe only 5 minutes before I heard him leave and run out the backdoor. But that was enuff.

I was five the night this showed. My aunt Linda took myself and my two cousins to her friend Bobbie's place, where she was playing cards.

They put us in the bedroom with the TV.

I saw this at five, sitting in the dark, with one cousin falling asleep and the other sitting dead silent. Scared the hell out of me. I loved it.

I don't remember a time I didn't love scary movies. This movie is one of my first memories of a scary film. I remember the sleeping cousin waking up and getting scared and leaving the room. My aunt came in and made us change the channel, but my older cousin turned it back in time to see the whole "Amelia" segment.

Later, on a trip to Universal Studios (this is back in the late 70's, mind you), I saw that doll displayed in a glass case with a steak knife.

Campy and goofy as this is, the Amelia segment is still a great little vignette. Great enough that most of us remember the night it aired.

I was born in '68. I can't recall when I saw this movie, but I couldn't have been more than 8 myself. It was years before I found it on video. I recall searching for that movie with the scary little doll but didn't know the name. I, too, never forgot this doll chasing Karen Black all over her apartment! It was truly one of the scariest movies of all time for me, too. My ex-wife also knew of this story. She was born in '67 and she said her uncle terrorized her by taking a kitchen knife and sliding it around under the bathroom door while she was in the bath! I used to be sure everyone knew the movie, but even recently, a few co-workers had no idea what I was talking about.

I am, however, watching the movie now--story one and am looking forward to that 3rd story so I can feel the chills of my childhood come back this Friday night--two days before Halloween!

Boo!

I was born in 68 and still vividly remember the killer doll segment (although
I am a little hazy on the first 2 stories), and like many of the others in this
thread I can't stand dolls. The only other tv movie I remember messing with
me this much was "don't be afraid of the dark".

I was born in 1967, too, and the only part I remembered was the doll part! LOL Scared the crap out of me for years! I would make my bed with the blankets tucked in as tight as I could get them, determined that, if i didn't let anything get uncovered, the little monster could get to me (b/c my brother told me he had one in his bedroom!). He held me in check for years with that one! LOL

The only other movie that scared me on this level was Night of the Living Dead. It's a great one for a deep scare!

I remember seeing this movie and being scared ----less. Now that I know the title and year I figure I was 21. We talked about it at work for days. Everyone who saw it was freaked out. Over the years I have brought it up and not many people recall it. I always thought it had been a Twilight Zone episode. Reading all the comments about it stirs up horrible memories but I think I may have to see if I can rent it. I'm just sick enough to let my 13 year old watch it but he has seen so many scary movies he would probably laugh. Thing is back in those days scary crap like that on TV was rare. Now our kids are desensitized.

Hi
I do remember this movie. I was in High School and home alone watching it. I would not get off the couch until my parents got home. My husband also remembers it and his son and daughter watched it also. Their aunt use to scare the crap out of them when they were little by putting a knife under the doors and making that noise.
I'm glad to hear it is for sale out their. I will have to find it and purchase a copy.
