I saw this movie in the theaters when i was a kid. In our theater, they had Live actors, portraying characters from the film, appear in the audience. I remember one was the Rag Doll and she was even creepier up close. Merlin was also there and taught us how to use a magic card trick that was handed out to us as we came into the cinema. I'm probably have nightmares again after seeing the Rag Doll in this trailer ;)

Oh boy... This was a hell of a time to start having an acid flashback.

i used to own this. it's good for a laugh for about the first ten minutes, after which it makes for a useful frisbee
