Since childhood I’ve been obsessed with puppets and dolls in film. As a young child I remember seeing the Twilight Zone Episodes The Dummy and The Living Doll and from that moment on I’ve tried to collect every film out there featuring dolls. Then in 1984 at the tender age of 14 I rented Chester Turner’s Black Devil Doll From Hell and I was scarred for life... Here is my list of favorites evil puppet/toy/doll films. (admittedly some of these suck ass and are guilty pleasures) All of these inspired our new film in one way or another:
Dead Of Night (1945)
The Twilight Zone: The Dummy (1962)
The Twilight Zone: Living Doll (1963)
The Twilight Zone: Caesar and Me (1964)
Devil Doll (1964)
Trilogy Of Terror (1975)
Let My Puppets Come (1976)
Magic (1978)
Black Devil Doll From Hell (1984)
Attack Of The Beast Creatures (1985)
Video Psychotherapy-Cable TV (198?)
Dolls (1988)
Childs Play (1988)
Puppet Master (1989)
Meet The Feebles (1989)

What The Critics Are Saying About Black Devil Doll!
"A hilarious, over-the-top, sex-filled gorefest! Well worth seeing with an audience if you have the chance." -Esplatter.Com
"Black Devil Doll is an instant cult classic that you don't want to miss. Forget about the big budget horror films coming out this year because none of them have the balls that this film carries. One of the most extreme and wildest films you will ever catch on the big screen." -IcanSmellYourBrains.Com
"Black Devil Doll is a scathing, sleazy, seething shitstorm (literally) that will have blaxploitation fans singing hosannas, PC types screaming for blood, and any innocent bystanders in conniption fits. Movies like this make me real happy to be alive." -DreadCentral.Com
"Impressively unconscionable--and often hilarious--new low for sexual, racial & scatological bad taste." - M.V. Moorhead
"Black Devil Doll hits every sleazy, offensive, exploitive note in a symphony of brutality and debauchery. Get your popcorn ready because Black Devil Doll aims to please!" -ChainsawMaffia.Com
"Black Devil Doll presents a surprising and refreshing dedication to funny lines that work, interesting visuals, and great pacing. A nasty little opus shamelessly brimming with gruesome violence, graphic sex, and a ceaseless stream of the "N-word". I'm still recovering, and I can't wait to see it again!" -MondoCelluloid.Com
"Joyfully campy, gleefully offensive and one hell of a fun time." - Edward Yerke-Robins, Laist.Com
"Easily one of the best horror films I've ever seen. Not only is it original, it's also a whole lot of fun to watch." –HorrorFanatics.Com
"I had one helluva a time watching Black Devil Doll!" -The HorrorChick, TerrorTube.Com
" Not only is this a great indie film, it's a great movie period. Without a doubt the best movie I have seen so far this year!” -Goon, HorrorMovies.Ca
"You will laugh until you wet yourself. I am not kidding. Black Devil Doll goes where no puppet has gone, with gutter humor, exploding bodily fluids, and one of the most erotic car wash scenes you’ll ever see." -Sfindi.Com
Black Devil Doll is a relentless, abusive, and uproarious onslaught of rape, misogyny, mutilation, mayonnaise, mass murder, sodomy, toilet humor and racially charged puppet high-jinks…this movie delivers the total package to your door...and says “FUCK YOU!” when you sign for it. - David A. Szulkin

"A young, moist, buxom teen vixen finds herself hurled into an odyssey of forbidden sex and unspeakable violence after an innocent evening dabbling in the occult. What started as a simple child's game has now become a fight for her life! What is this evil that she has summoned from beyond? And why does it have a fro? What kind of horrific acts will she be subjected to? And what price will her super-hot, half-nude friends have to pay? But more importantly, how much Caucasian blood will have to be shed to stop....the BLACK DEVIL DOLL?!!"

The low down:
Black Devil Doll is a full length feature...
From the sick and twisted mind of Shawn Lewis, former editor and publisher of Blackest Heart Magazine and the creative force behind Rotten Cotton Graphics, comes the sleaziest Blaxploitation Horror film ever envisioned.
Five naive young women are raped, abused, tortured, and killed (?) by a demonic jive-ass talking ventriloquist doll possessed by the spirit of an executed black militant death row inmate.
Who will survive? What will be left of them? Will their virginity be intact?
Its Chucky meets Dolemite in this violent, misogynistic, sleazy horror film directed by up and coming genre director Jonathan Lewis.
Not intended for children. Black Devil Doll features totally awesome scenes of murder and rape! No one under 17 will be admitted!
Thanks for the ADD. Have fun with the FIRST OFFICIAL TRAILER of the Rose/Schnaas production we co-produced with LASER PARADISE in 2009, called UNRATED - The Movie and our latest Trailer of our UNDERGROUND Zombie Splatter Movie called GRAVEYARD OF THE LIVING DEAD. Please vote and quote!
Thank you for letting me screen it at The Shaun Luu Horror Fest. We raised close to $5600 for the Golisano Childrens Hospital. I know Shaun would have loved BDD. I'm pretty sure he was in the theater watching with all his friends. Thank you :)
