What is the name of a horror film in the 1980's with a ventriloquist dummy in it?

Answer 1

I agree it's probably Devil Doll (1964), which is on DVD. It is very similar to that episode in Dead of Night (1945) though. There is only one doll in each though, both called Hugo!YES but the one i think you mean is silent death

There is one from 2007 that is called Dead Silence and I believe it was one of those movies that was remade. It's about exactly what you described as the plot.

Answer 2

There were two films with this theme of the ventriloquist's 'dummy' coming to life ; a segment within the film "Dead of Night" 1945 and "Magic" 1978 . There was also The Twilight Zone episodes "Dummy" 1962 , "Caesar and Me" 1964 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer "The Puppet Show" 1997 .

Answer 3

I believe the move you are searching for is called 'Making Contact'. It is the title of the English-language version of the German movie 'Joey'.
