Question
I am trying to locate the name of the TV movie this monster/head  thingy (description coming) was in and the actual name of the monster/head thingy. (Back in the day whenever this monster/head thingy movie was mentioned, everyone knew exactly what you were talking about)!  It was the best scary show seen at that time.  So much time has passed and I've slept a couple of nights since the 70's that I can no longer remember the name.  I believe this TV movie is from the early 70's.  It was a scary little monster/head thingy that ran around chomping at the bit, jabbing people with a sharp, sharp knife that was sticking out of its mouth.  I believe it was inferred that the monster/head thingy, because of its looks, may have been of African origin.  It had a witch doctor look to it (I've never seen one so I'm not sure if this part is correct) but I believe that was the inference.  Also, there was huge display at Universal Studios Hollywood 1980-1981.  I'm thinking it may have even been part of the Night Gallery series with Rod Serling, but I did not locate it in the episodes listing.  I hope you are able to help me, I thank you in advance.  Markelle

Answer
Markelle...

Look into a TV movie called Trilogy of Terror, starring Karen Black... I think you are talking about the Zuni doll that was trying to kill Black's character in the last segment....if not, give me a yell, and we will track it down for you...
