“The Twilight Zone” – “Living Doll” episode (1963) – Talky Tina
“My name is Talky Tina, and you’d better be nice to me.” Good advice! Unfortunately, Erich Streator (played by a pre-Kojak Telly Savalas) has a hard time dealing with the doll given to his step-daughter, Christie, by his new wife, Annabelle (it all goes full-circle in this haunted doll thing, doesn’t it?). Rod Serling opened the episode with an intro stating, “Talky Tina, a doll that does everything, a life-like creation of plastic and springs and painted smile. To Erich Streator, she is the most unwelcome addition to his household – but without her, he’d never enter the Twilight Zone.” Needless to say, Talky Tina and Erich had a showdown, and things didn’t work out too well for him. Below is the entire episode condensed down into two minutes. Who loves ya, baby?
Puppet Master series – Blade, Jester, Pinhead, Leech Woman, Torch, etc.
Producer Charles Band’s Full Moon Entertainment brought a legendary film series to life when he introduced us to the creations of the Puppet Master. Andre Toulon’s (originally played by William Hickey, who’s also known for being the voice of Dr. Finklestein in A Nightmare Before Christmas as well as Clark Griswold’s ornery old Uncle Lewis in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation) creations made for fantastic entertainment, and with each successive sequel in the Puppet Master series, it was always fun to be surprised at what the newest addition to the family of puppet murderers would be. But, of course, Blade always ran the show. Below is a clip from the original Puppet Master featuring Blade and Pinhead in bloody action.
