March 4th, 1975 -- I really should not have been watching this when I was not quite six years old. #TrilogyOfTerror
March 4, 1975 – Trilogy of Terror premieres on ABC.
One of a dozen rather good horror movies made for television in the mid 1970s. Incredibly memorable for its Zuni fetish doll segment.

the doll looks more Zulu than Zuni #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
yeah it doesn't make too much difference -- still could be a metaphor for the baby associated with having a boyfriend. #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
omg ty! I was wondering why people were mentioning the curio shop. Shoot I totally missed that. #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
or, the protagonist's rage about motherhood? The doll was given to her by her bf, right? Such a swanky apartment, how dare anyone (man) try to put a kid in it, or (like her mother) take her away from it. #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
yes she really does! The set decor is pretty awesome too. #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
so.. the last story's about babies and their mommies? #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
the noises are so disturbing lol #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
oh right I forgot about the actors throughout the seasons! interesting, thanks #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #karenblack
I've only seen seen the first two seasons and so long ago -- is each story in the same place? and/or haunted by the same ghost(s?) #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #KarenBlack
And, now we learn why women are so crazy--bc of their mothers #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #KarenBlack
I gotta say that I think the first two of f these vignettes played too much on the "oh look the dowdy woman is hot after all" and didn't highlight her acting.
But in the closing moments of this third piece, Karen Black is absolutely brilliant. And terrifying.

oops boomerang voodoo curse #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #KarenBlack
lol women be crazy and witchy #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #KarenBlack
I forgot how each story contains elements of the prior story #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror #KarenBlack
haha yes the voice! #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror
oh thanks, sounds interesting.
Seems like there should be a Peter Cushing one #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror
are there any other anthologies where the lead is played by the same actor throughout? I think it works surprisingly well here but then you can never have too much KB #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror
plus KB looks particularly hot in those glasses and with her hair up, the whole librarian thing--imho #horrorwatch #trilogyofterror
I've seen this once before, but it's interesting watching the first story after seeing The Accused (1949) recently with #filmnoirclub. That film's about a female professor who kills her male student when he tries to rape her. #horrorwatch #TrilogyofTerror
Getting ready to hit "play" on #TrilogyOfTerror with the #HorrorWatch crew.
Having my mind blown watching #TrilogyOfTerror start to finish for the first time I can remember as a grown-up. I turned 16 the year it came out.
Thanks to @pauljessup.com for the prompt as a choice for #HorrorWatch. Now I'm going back to marveling over her makeup in the second vignette.
Remembering Walker Edmiston, born February 6, 1925 and passed away February 15, 2007.

Ermahgerd, #TrilogyOfTerror!
Time to vote #HorrorWatch folks.
Bonus, trailers linked in responses once again by @innocence.com .
Thank you for doing this!
From The House That Dripped Blood to modern “anthologies” in name only, this is horror that promises dread and can’t even deliver on the title.

Lots of posts about actors with range. Can we take a moment to appreciate the range of Karen Black? Across four characters in Trilogy of Terror, she essentially embodied 6 separate personalities - all in one film! Talk about range!
