Prey

So, I've read the story "Prey". I found it to be a fascinating little story with quite a good ending. It seems in movies or stories such as this that when an object such as a doll is possessed that the victims struggling against the object never stop to consider that the spirit stuck in the doll wouldn't be permanently gby destroying the carrier. If anything the spirit would be allowed to roam completely free at that point, and that's where the ending of this story went. The protagonist destroys the spirit's prison in a sense, and the spirit then decides to take up residence in the victim's body. That's what pretty much what I found interesting about this story is that it seems more "realistic" in a sense the spiritual entity wouldn't be destroyed just because its physical carrier has been.



This is a reproduction of the Zuni fetish doll from the TV movie, Trilogy of Terror starring Karen Black produced in 1975.

Also, you can find the entire Trilogy of Terror on youtube if you do a surface level search.

    That's a pretty scary looking doll. I think it's odd to give that as a gift, kind of creepy I guess.

    Haha, yeah. I suppose if my girlfriend gave me that as a gift I'd be a bit weired out.
