The one movie/TV induced fear that I can honestly say scared the
hell out of me came from "Night Gallery." the storyline involved
a grotesque little doll that belonged to a little girl. I can 
barely remember the story, but it dealt with the parents trying to
get rid of the doll, and it would show up in strange places after
the attempt. 

I think the thing about it that freaked me out most, was that you (the
viewer) never actually saw the doll move. It would just appear in certain
places, with that twisted little face staring at you. Very effective.
Very Serling.

Anyone remember a little more about it?
