The tiki doll. If his necklace comes off, he'll come to life, chase you around the apartment, bite you and then you turn into a giant tiki doll.
There were two movies made about the Tiki doll. Both were called Trilogy of Terror. One was a remake of the other. :) In the first, Karen Black had got the doll from somewhere. She was going to cook a steak(?) in the oven so she started preheating it. She looked at the doll, placed him on the coffee table and the necklace came off. Next thing you know, the doll is gone.
Then it comes out of nowhere and starts chasing her all over the apartment (believe me, this one WAS a lot scarier than Chucky ever could have been).
She shut him in a suitcase, he stabbed his way out with his little knife. She stuffed him in a sack(?) and tried drowning him in the bathtub, thought she had and left the bathroom and then you see him climbing out of the tub. She shut him in the closet, but he was battering down the door (not bad for a little critter about 6" tall). He also used his knife and stabbed at her under the door. I can't remember how she caught him. I do know he jumped at her and buried those teeth in her neck. She jerked him off and threw him into the NOW heated oven. The next shot was her bracing herself against the wall, backing up against the oven door because he was trying to crash his way out. Then you see him on fire screaming until finally his screams died away.
The final scene was what really got you though.
She calls her mom(?) and says to come on over, they'll eat, no problem.
She turns around, takes a knife from the kitchen, crouches on the floor and starts stabbing the floor with the knife. Then the camera pans to her face and she has the Tiki doll's teeth. She had turned into a lifesize real-life tiki doll.
