Killer Dolls

 

 (imdb)

MUNECOS INFERNALES-1961-Two medical doctors Armando (Ramon Gay) and Karina (Elvira Quintana) are invited to dinner by 4 men (and their families) who have recently returned from Haiti. While there not only did they see a forbidden ceremony but one of the eggheads stole a sacred idol for his personal collection. During a power outage he dies mysteriously. Later we learn a revenge seeking voodoo priest Zandor (Quintin Bulnes) is making scary miniature dolls of the victims (dwarf actors or kids in scary masks) sending them to do more killing. 

After completion of their tasks, he calls them back with a flute. Zandor also has a zombie servant who delivers the dolls to unsuspecting victims. The dolls are creepy but they are not all just mindless killers. At one point a doll wants to kill a child but he's stopped by a companion. 

Directed by Benito Alazraki (SANTO VS. THE ZOMBIES (1962) and written by Alfredo Salazar (DOCTOR OF DOOM (1963)). K. Gordon Murray presented it in the US under the title “Attack of the Doll People”.
