* JustHereForGodzilla: No one ever talks about the first two stories, but EVERYBODY remembers the third. The writer of the fist two segments, William F. Nolan only agreed to do ''Film/TrilogyOfTerrorII'' on the condition that he got to use the Zuni doll.

* {{Narm}}: The infamous doll rampage is undermined by watching a grown woman pretend to fight an obvious prop and that same woman fail to figure out how to escape her own residence when the doll is trapped in a suitcase for a good minute.

* ValuesResonance: Julie Eldridge wasn't traditionally attractive and even said she intentionally portrays herself as an easy target. Additionally, while Chad lusted after her, his direction quickly turns into controlling her. This sends the surprising subtext for a 70s movie that rape is about power not sex.

* MagnificentBitch: Julie Eldridge is a {{sadist}} who enjoys leading men to their dooms for fun. To sate her urges, she [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends to be a mild-nannered English teacher]], dropping subtle hints to make sexual predators think she's the perfect target. She then plays the scared victim, letting the guys think they're in control for a few weeks at most. Once Julie gets bored, she drops the act and explains her manipulations before killing her mark and moving onto the next target.

* WhatAnIdiot: Amelia manages to trap the Zuni doll inside a briefcase, where it starts trying to carve its way out with a knife. Amelia then tries to ''snatch the sawing blade with her fingers''. It's no surprise that she ends up bloodied for her trouble.

* RealismInducedHorror: While not as memorable as the iconic Zuni doll, Chad is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of a sexual predator. He relies on simple methods of attacking his victims using manipulation and a surprisingly impressive veneer of charisma so no one catches on to him till it's too late.
