A deep cut here. The TV series Night Gallery was known as Rod Serling's "second show" after the more famous Twilight Zone. Like TZ, NG was an anthology series, telling a new tale with every episode.
One of the episodes of NG was The Doll of Death, starring Susan Strasberg as a woman who lives in the West Indies. She's about to get married to a wealthy plantation owner, but ditches him at the last minute for her lover.
Problems arise when the ditched plantation owner switches to voodoo to get revenge.
Strasberg, who was the daughter of actor Lee Strasberg, goes barefoot throughout the entire episode.
The episode was directed by John Badham, who would go on to direct Wargames and Blue Thunder.
The Doll of Death aired during the third season of Night Gallery.
It's available in various forms of media.
