A few more to add to the list. I haven't seen most of these, as they hadn't really come up on my radar, but definitely going to take a gander at one or two later. Most are from TV shows, including a quite popular one.
And a big shout out to the Evil Doll Movie List on Undead Backbrain. Seems someone else has beat me to this. However, I'll keep going on as I remember things, possibly with a peak here and there to the aforementioned blog.
The List
11. Doctor Who, The Celestial Toymaker episodes (April 1966): Games including electrocution! People vying against one another while trapped in the toymaker's hellish world. Apparently these episodes are mostly gone from the BBC archives.
12. Small Soldiers (1998): Action figures are created to be interactive toys that go wrong and start drugging and torturing people instead. The commando action figures get sent to South America to work for the military. Despite reports, there seems to be no sequel for the movie.
13. Trilogy of Terror (1975) and Trilogy of Terror 2 (1996): Same Zuni fetish doll appears in both, with the first possessing a woman, and in the second, the doll goes on a killing spree.
14. Goosebumps, Night of the Living Dummy (May 1993): Dueling ventriloquist dummies creating mischief in a household.
15. The Twilight Zone, Living Doll/The Dummy/Caesar and Me (1959): A little girl's doll gets revenge on her stepfather, a ventriloquist dummy becomes the puppeteer, and a ventriloquist dummy that cons his puppeteer into committing crimes.
Interesting tidbits while compiling this list: pediophobia is the fear of dolls, pupaphobia the fear of puppets, and automatonophobia encompasses the fear of such things as ventriloquist dummies and mannequins.
