This is from a movie a saw when I was very young, maybe 5 or 6 years old. I don't remember the title of the movie or the plot. All I remember is a woman with short, brown (?) hair in a dark room, possibly in a sheriff's or police station, and possible wearing a (tan?) county sheriff uniform.
The part that terrified me is that when she was in the dark room, there were shelves full of porcelain(?) dolls that came to life and attacked her. I'm pretty positive they killed her.
Does anyone have even a vague clue what this movie is?
UPDATE: NAME THAT TRAUMA SOLVED! Special thanks to cryscantdance for knowing that it was JOANNA CASSIDY's doll-centric demise in THE TOMMYKNOCKERS.
I'd be willing to bet that the movie she's thinking of is Stephen King's "Tommyknockers." I was about 9 when it came out, and that scene completely renewed the doll fear I thought I'd finally licked. I also remember the dolls saying something like, "It's too late, Ruth" over and over again while they killed her. And there was definitely a creepy scarecrow doll, too. I think it was the leader.
Anyway, I don't really remember much of the rest of the movie (except Traci Lords killing someone with a laser shooting tube of lipstick), but that part stuck with me.
So did the doll fear. ~_~
Yes, it was from "Tommyknockers" and the policewoman killed by the dolls was played by Joanna Cassidy of "Blade Runner" fame.
Though I'm pretty sure cryscantdance & FatherOfTears have this one in the bag, reader steph emailed this:
My vote's with Tommyknockers!
Suzanne Somers in SHES THE SHERIFF!
Anyone else remember THAT rancid show?
@mama: Yes, yes I do!
Thanks for helping me out, guys. It's definitely "Tommknockers".
