The apartment at the beginning of the third story is obviously not the same one from the first film. It is much larger and more modern with a second floor.

User Reviews

and you thought horror was dead......

The Devil doll is back in this refreshing anthology from genre favorite Dan Curtis. Intelligent story, decent acting, and a scary 1960's feel make this one well worth a rental.
