The Zuni Fetish Doll - Dan Curtis' Trilogy of Terror came on TV in 1973. I remember watching with my Mom and being bored out of my mind during the first two tales. That last tale was a keeper, though, featuring a killer African doll that looked eerily like rapper Li'l Jon with his hair unbraided. Karen Black obtains the doll, which allegedly contains an evil spirit in it. The evil is released when a magic bracelet falls off it, and the doll spends the rest of the picture attacking Karen with unrelenting fury. It sounds funnier than it actually plays -- I was terrified then, and 35 years later the noise the doll made still creeps me out. Unlike Chucky's victims, Karen Black DOES kick the attacking doll. Big mistake.

Talky Tina - A pre-Kojak Telly Savalas enters The Twilight Zone and is no match for a talking doll who doesn't like him. His stepdaughter owns the doll, and Savalas is so mean to the little girl you actually relish when Talky Tina tells him, "My name is Talky Tina, and I'm going to kill you." He ALSO kicks the doll! Even bigger mistake, as later in the episode, the combination of his feet and the doll lead to his gruesome demise.

Anthony Hopkins' Ventriloquist Dummy - Back when Sir Tony Hopkins sucked as an actor, he did a movie called Magic where he played a ventriloquist addicted to his wooden mouthpiece. Ann-Margret's breasts co-star. The movie is quite awful, but I include it here because ventriloquist dummies are creepy, and no amount of good PR will ever make them not creepy. I don't remember if Sir Tony kicks the dummy, but we don't blame him if he didn't, because this exercise proves why none of Chucky's victims tried to play kickball with him.
