Later, Audrey tells dad that the father doll was going to punch the wife doll in the face!
Then, Edith says something and Sam is ready to do what the dolls were saying, punch her! Sam starts to put two and two together, whatever Audrey says the dolls are up to, it reflects on his own family!!
Sam goes off the rails and is convinced that something evil is going on with the dolls! Uncle Richard and Edith are starting to get worried about Sam's condition.
That night, the doll house eerily lights up and seems to have a life of its own after Audrey tells dad that the Geezenstacks were going on a long journey!

Unfortunately, we just lost one of our favorite Dungeon gods, Dick Miller. Fortunately though, we have this photo of Dick and our Dungeon associate, Greg Goodsell, in Burbank for his 90th birthday party on December 25, 2018. We will miss him, but, his work will live forever!! I'll be doing a piece on Dick soon, join us tomorrow for something special, just for you!
We just watched WAR OF THE SATELLITES in his honor! RIP to one of the great Corman Crew!
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying your deadpan presentations of wacky material. A note on this show -- it's based on the short story of the same name by Fredric Brown (who wrote the novel The Screaming Mimi, and the story "Arena," adapted into the Star Trek episode where Kirk fought the Gorn). Keep up the good work!
