How many times has the "evil/possessed doll is sent to kill someone and then that someone 'becomes' the doll" storyline been done?? I mean really...come on now!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the original TZ and Night Gallery, but so many shows/movies/books have done that storyline that its almost laughable.
Anyone remember Triliogy of Terror??

I'm not sure how many times it's been done, but a similar story was written by Steven King called "Battleground", and I think you'd love it, sigokat! It was in a book called "Nightmares and Dreamscapes", and there was a TV version of it made last year. My dad bought it on DVD and I can't wait to see that episode.

Don't know how many times its been done, sig--you seem to know all about it, why not enlighten us all?
All I wuz sayin', that portrayal was exceptional. Did you see it, or are you just shooting off at the jib?
