Original ‘Trilogy of Terror’ Zuni Hunter Doll Sells in Auction for $204,000
Profiles in History has shared the results from two auctions, with the Hollywood: A Collector’s Ransom collection featuring one helluva horror collector’s item.
Outside of gems like Darth Vader’s helmet, face mask and chest armor from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the “Zuni Hunter” hero puppet from Trilogy of Terror sold for a whopping $204,000!
Often called one of the best made-for-TV horror movies ever made as well as one of the best horror anthologies, director Dan Curtis’ Trilogy of Terror premiered on ABC in March, 1975.
The Karen Black-starring film notably introduced the “Zuni Fetish Doll”, which has become something of a horror icon over the years.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
