    #1 is Twilight Zone - "Miniature," I think, with Robert Duvall.

    #2 is also Twilight Zone, but the title escapes me.

    #9, of course, is the main set from Dollhouse.

      Correct on all counts! Very well done. You successfully took three more images out of the gallery.

      What we have left: #4, #5, #7, #10, and #11.

      Well done!

  5. Not about dollhouses, but have you ever seen the picture 1988 film Paperhouse?

    I remember seeing it years ago and enjoying it. I don't know what I would think of it today.

    A quick search turned up that it was British and the director did Candyman and the unrated video to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax.

    I'm sure you've seen it, but just in case. SFF

    1. Hi SFF,

      I saw Paperhouse probably fifteen years ago and I remember being very creeped out by it. I tried to see it in the mid-2000s when I was writing Horror Films of the 1980s, but could not get my hands on a copy. I decided not to included it because I learned after Horror Films of the 1970s not to attempt reviews from (sometimes) faulty memory.

      I'd love to see the film as well again, especially as I'm a huge admirer of Candyman...a great horror movie.

      Thank you for the comment, my friend!

      best,
      John

  6. Is no one paying attention? Number 4 is from the "House of Evil" episode of "Ghost Story/Circle of Fear."

    (That's even more obvious now that you've posted the follow up!)
