[[spoiler:Samuel Mullins has lost his daughter as she was crashed by the car when she's trying pick up a screw on the road. He's so desperate to see his daughter again to the point he invited a demon to possess a doll. [[CameBackWrong It works in a very wrong way]]. At first, the demon acts like Mullins' daughter and the family is glad that their "daughter" is back, however, as the demon grows stronger and starts showing its sinister side, the Mullins starts making an attempt to seal the demon in their daughter's room. However, not only did they fail to seal the demon, it starts using the doll maker's house to lure hapless preys into the house and feeding on their souls.]] It's also played on a vinyl record player and is used as the credit song.

* ''TheTwilightZone'' TOS episode "It's a Good Life". Dan Hollis sings a few bars of "You Are My Sunshine" at one of Anthony's "parties".
