MAGIC, is my favorite movie of all time. First saw it on TV when I was 8. Captivated was innocent little I.
I saw Trilogy Of Terror around the same age, and that damn voodoo doll looked like it was alive! Damn tenacious too. That thing just, wouldn't stop! Starred Karen Black, correct? @Camazotz Automat And speaking of Trilogy OT, did that one have a story with a hole in the ground tale? I think i'm wrong on that one.
I cannot explain the midget thing. #Achondroplasiaphobia
@KSM I will have to Google TOT to be sure, but I do not recall a hole in the ground story. That is another one of my favorite tropes though, the gate or entrance to the underworld - either paranormal or hollow earth science fiction. Caves, gates, Lovecraft dimensional rips.
Freud might say it is a womb-seeking thing. I'm more to thinking of it as Jungian subconscious symbolism .
