Trivia
- The original Zuni doll puppet owned by director Dan Curtis was used for the new sculpts of the Zuni doll for the sequel, Trilogy of Terror 2.
- The crew trying to make the Zuni doll come to life kept on laughing because sometimes bits fell off, like an arm or it's head.
- The idea of grinning and showing fang-like teeth similar to the 'zuni' doll (the final and arguably the most chilling image in the film) actually came from Karen Black herself.
- When the doll latches onto Amelia's neck, her screams do not match her mouth.
- The script was written by the original author of the story, Richard Matheson.
- "Amelia" is based on his 1969 short story, "Prey".
