Was that the one with the little doll that hid under the couch and stabbed the person with a spear or something? I am not sure if I am remembering the same movie. and was there something about cats in another movie or electricity?

I didn't remember the title of the movie, but yeah the doll always creeped me out. I never watched any of the Chucky Movies because of that stupid doll in the trilogy.

I never have watched the Chucky films either. Not my cup of tea. Do you all remember the movie "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" with Kim Darby? That one had them moving into a house where all these little tiny demon people wanted her.

wow, i never had or wanted a barbie doll. closest thing i got was the mary poppins doll with all the clothes and carpet bag, etc. i loved baby dolls and i have to admit i got one for christmas when i was 11! i still have one of my baby dolls, with the original clothes. and the plastic rubber pants you used to have to use with cloth diapers from when my brother was a baby. he's 42 now! pet semetary was scary. the shining was scary, but so much better without shelley duval and jack nicholson; when king bought his screenrights back and had it done with rebecca de mornay and steven webber, it was so much better. i never pictured the couple as old or unattractive! 'the exorcist' scared me because i lived way up in the mountains and everyone else was gone for a week or so when a friend and i went to see this film. i got home to this 3,000 sf home way down a private road in the santa cruz mountains and linda blair's character had the exact same bathrobe i had just received as a christmas present and during the night when i finally got to sleep, two of the cats jumped on the bed and i thought it was getting to ready to spin. or maybe it was my head?! my all-time favorite toy was my remco little red spinning wheel that i got when i was maybe 7. i rushed home from school each day to spin that long line of yarn and make all kinds of dorky stuff out of it! i cried when my mom gave it to goodwill without asking me. i was still using it!

Trilogy of Terror and that little doll freaked me out for years. I actually saw the movie about 10 years ago, and it was very fake, but still scary. The commercials for the movie Magic with Anthony Hopkins and the ventriloquist dummy scared the bejesus out of me. So much so I have never, and will never watch the movie. I can still see that dummy, "Abracadabra I sit on his knee. Presto, chango, he becomes me!"

There was a Goosebumps show for kids and watching it with my kids one day, they had one with a ventriloquist dummy that scared the heck out of me. The kids laughed at me but there is something very eerie about those dummies.

I got one of those dummies, Chester, for my 6th or 7th (so '79 or '80.) Pulled that sucker out of the box, put it right back in again and never touched it. I complained so much about it being in our bedroom closet that mom had to put it in the closet in the living room cuz that damn thing completely freaked me out.

I'm always the last to arrive at a party! What fun memories this thread was. I just went back to the beginning and read the entire thing. I too used Sun-in on my hair. We camped at the beach all during my pre-teens and teens. Never used suntan lotion only baby oil. Puka shells - oh my gosh! My parents went to Hawaii and brought back the BEST necklace and bracelet sets for my best friend and I. Painters pants - loved em! But my favorites were saddle butt dittos! We lived right down the street from the ditto manufacturing store in San Fernando California. I had them in EVERY color and of course skin tight (had to lay down on the bed to zip them up with pliers) LOLOL I bet we saw Rocky Horror 100 times but was not into dressing up (although we would bring a bag of props ¡V toilet paper, rice, squirt bottle) Donnie Osmond and David Cassidy pictures were wall to wall in my room, along of course with Leif Garrett, Bobby Sherman and Shawn Cassidy. My grandparents came from Kansas and wouldn¡¦t sleep in my room because grandma said she couldn¡¦t sleep with all the eyes looking at her. (Side memory: David Cassidy co-produced a ¡§Rat Pack¡¨ show here in town a few years ago and a blind date I had took me to it. We tipped extra to sit right up front in the middle against the stage and near the end of the show the Frank Sinatra guy said "hey look who is in the audience - its Bobby Darin - come on up and do a song for us Bobby and to my shock David Cassidy runs up the asile onto the stage and he started singing. Into the 2nd verse he walked down the stairs and took my hand and sang to me then kissed me on the cheek. I was totally star struck - walked around touching my cheek. The only shocking thing was David is SO SMALL - very petite for a man. Hmmm I wonder why that blind date guy never asked me out again??? Heheh. Oh my gosh just ran across Christiii's post - Tony Defranco! I have 2 albums by them as well but can't name a song by them. OH WAIT was that the 'Heartbeat' song??? LOL what fun this has been! I have the 45 (yes I said 45!) of "Hot Child in the City" by Nick Gilder as well (Christiii you and I must be close in age - I just checked out your profile - yep I'm 44 as well!) Pamy! Linda Blair movie Born Innocent - OMG! That same scene freaked me out. Was way too graphic I never forgot it either! Eve Plumb was a hooker in one of those movies wasn't she? I think the name of it was 'Dawn' or something. I remember she had a really cute sweet boyfriend who was a male hooker or something. They lived in a dump but it was all so "romantic" at the time. My first car was a white 1976 Mazda with Red and Blue racing stripes down the middle of the hood, roof and truck ¡V with a spoiler of course! My friends and I used to cruise Van Nuys Blvd EVERY Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (each time we crossed the railroad tracks we would lift our feet up and say "two cute guys real soon tonight" because of course wishes made over rail road tracks always came true.) LOLOL Melfie1222 - LEGGY dolls! I had a bunch of them! My favorite Christmas gift was the year my mom and my best friends mom made us Barbie doll houses. They included beds made of shoe boxes with specially fitted blankets, pillows and rugs! So much love went into that gift, Mom later admitted they worked on the houses and furniture for almost a year. It was all spread out sitting around the Christmas tree Christmas morning. What I wouldn't do to have that back ¡V I gave all my Barbie stuff to my bratty younger cousin and she tore it all up. GAL: "Sally Field IS "Sybil." Holy hell, that movie creeped me out. Still does" LMAO - me too! I will run across it on TV every once in a while and even tho I stop to watch it - it gives me the willies as well. Tube tops - used to wear them under other tops until I got out of the house too! A couple other memories I have that were not mentioned were "Click Clacks" (I still have a pair of purple ones!) and High Heeled Tennis Shoes. I had a red pair and my best friend Shawn had blue ones. I remember they were so ugly and expensive that my Dad didn't want to buy them but after a few days of my begging he did. I think I wore them all of 2 weeks but Daddy wasn't having any of that! He sawed off the "platform" portion and made me wear those dang things everytime he was around! Also leg warmers - I still have a white pair. Everything comes back in style right!

This is dedicated to those Born 1930-1979! TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because . WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound, CD's or Ipods, no cell phones!, no personal computers , no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and kno cked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them! Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing us out if we b roke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! If YOU are one of them . . CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were. Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?! The quote of the month is by Jay Leno: "With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
