Identify This Flick

[Foywonder]

I remember seeing this on a local Sunday morning creature feature back when I was 8. Was, I believe from the look of it, a 70s flick. Had to do with a family and the strange things happening in their house which they could not escape from. In the end, it turns out the family were actually toys in these futuristic kids toy house. I recall one scene where the family is being attacked by a blob-like creature and in the end it turns out the substance was just some spilled food or drink. As I recall, the last shot of the movie is this phrase, "THIS IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY. IT JUST HASN'T HAPPENED YET." Okay, anyone, does it ring a bell?

I have absolutely no idea but that sounds pretty interesting, kind of wondering too now.

I've seen it, but I'm coming up blank on the title. I couldn't find it with a keyword search of the IMDB and Google came up empty also. I think it's listed in a book I have. I'll try and find the title. I'm pretty sure it was a made for TV film.

It wasn't a Twilight Zone episode was it, sounds like their sort of story.

Ah,hummmm................sounds like an Outer Limets(Original) eph. Alien blob in a doll house, captures humans for nafarious purposes, doll house in a southern mansion? Sure your not mixing ephisodes?

No, it was definitely a movie. It might have been inspired by the Twilight Zone episode though. In that one, Stopover in a Quiet Town, a couple wkae up in a twon where everything is fake and they can hear a girl laughing. In the end, it turns out that they've been kidnapped by giant aliens and given to the daughter as living dolls.

 In the movie, the family discovers that they can't get out of their house and all they can see outside is solid metal, plus it keeps getting hotter. It turns out that that the dollhouse was put in the heating vent by the girl's brother as a prank and the heat caused the dolls to malfunction and think that they were actually alive.
