I don't remember much about the movie...but it involves a school of some kind being haunted by some sexual ghost (I guess)...anyway, the only part of the movie I remember is a girl running inside a bathroom and locking herself in. She starts to put on lipstick, when the lipstick forms into the shape of a penis, elongates, and starts to have sex with her...kinda weird and twisted, but would love to find out what movie this was from...I think it was early 90's...

I remember a TV movie from the '80s or early '90s, possibly on the Disney Channel. I was born in '84 so it would be around then. I saw it when I was younger than 9. All I remember about it was that a young girl found a house in the woods and fixed it up. She did a lot of stenciling all over the walls. I vividly remember the stenciling and that's about all I can remember about it.

It had two kids that are tring to hook up their parents. I remember this sence where the kids are each eating with their parents in a pizza place and then the two kids realize they are eating in the same place. Then the parents hook up and leave their kids with a babysitter. The babysitter really doesn't watch them, she is making out with her boyfriend. And everyone outside of the house can see her making out. And the last scene that I can remember there is a large ball rolling with this big heart on it and the kids have to either touch it or ride it to get rid of the bad guy.

She, despite the huge language barrier, ends up becoming a spelling bee champ at the school she's going to.
Result: The Aurora Encounter (1986) Thanx Midnight Creeper. Apr 10, 2007
I saw this movie in the late 80's early 90's on regular tv, except that the tv station was a Canadian channel (I lived in Northern Maine at the time), so I'm guessing that its a Canadian movie (though it could be Austrailian/New Zealand, I know it wasn't a US production, though the characters were all white and spoke Americanized English, I just recall seeing something in the credits about it being from a foreign country and saying...OHHHHh that's why it looked that way). Anyways, my memory tells me that its based on a true story (though when you read the description, its probably not a substantiated true story). Its set in a tiny little village and I'm pretty sure its supposed to be twenty or thirty years in the past (making it 40's-60's for a time period, though it was definately made in the 80's/90's). A group of kids find a crashed space ship and rescue the alien who is inside. The alien looked like a kid on chemo (sickly pale and bald) but he kind of glowed. Anyways, the alien is sick and the kids (and I think possibly the town priest) try to nurse him back to health. The other people in the town find out about it and somehow cause his death. The movie ends by you seeing a grave in the cemetary that the alien was buried in. I recall the entire movie shot in a kind of soft focus (i think to give the alien that glowing look, but it also made the movie look all nostalgic and dreary). I would totally write the movie off as a dream I had except for the fact that a few years later (probably 92-94) I caught the last half hour or so of this movie at a friend's house in Connecticut on HBO/Showtime/Max/Etc.

I think I saw this film in the mid to late 70's,it was made for tv & it was in color. It was about a woman who went to East Germany for bussiness (before the wall came down). She stayed at an old hotel that has been converted from an aparment house in Berlin. She had visions & was actually reliving a German teen-age girls life that used to live in the room during world war 2. The girls father was a butcher & a Natzi supporter. There was one point where the father was talking to another man in the apartment house who was telling the father that he couldn't do things to his own daughter. The father replyed that she belonged to him & he could do whatever he pleased; he then raped her. The German girl found a wounded solder, I think he was American, & nursed him back to health. She hid him behind the bookcase in her room where there was a large dead space like a room & they fell in love. The bussiness woman was reliving the girls life throught the whole movie while trying to do her job & it was messing up her job. Things where also going bad in Germany & she was going too have to leave the communist side of the wall but wanted to have more flashbacks to see what happened to the girl & see if she could help her in any way.

I saw this film only a few months ago (eg: Oct 2006) on rental, but have no idea of the age (and can't find it since) - it's not a new release but looked recent. I think it was foreign, but I don't think it was subtitled, perhaps "non-american" English (Scottish?).The story concerns a deaf boy who was tracking his father's ship on it's journey. His father wasn't really on the ship (and had actually caused the boy's deafness being violent). When it seemed that the ship was coming into port, the boy's mother placed advertisements to get a person to pretend to be his father.The substitute-father ends up forming a strong bond with the boy and his mother which causes a lot of grief when the ship has to leave town again.
Result: Mr. Bohm And The Herring (1987) Sweden, short film, 13 min, directed by Peter Cohen, Olof Landstrom. Thanx Juniper. Apr 13, 2007
This was a color animated short that was foreign, maybe German but I couldn't say for sure. There is no dialogue at all. A man has a pet fish and gradually each day he lowers the level of water in the tank until finally the fish has learned to survive without water. One day he takes the fish out for a walk on a leash, and as they're walking (the fish sort of bounces along) across a bridge, the fish slips out of his leash between two slats of the bridge, and falls into the water below, and drowns. I saw this probably in 1996, but the film could have been much older. I saw it on a TV, with my aunt. She must have had it recorded onto VHS or have borrowed it from somewhere.

It is black and white and probably made in the 50's or 60's. As far as I know it is not a foreign film.
Result: Effort (AGAIN! year unknown, obviously!) It's a film about instructing people to use a little effort in trying to find a film that may already be listed instead relying on a bunch of people nice enough to help them out, even though they are SO INCREDIBLY LAZY that they can't take the time to see that the film they're seeking has already been listed on this site 5000 times and is probably on the Top 10 Page. It's understood that it's very hard for a lazy slacker to read the first line of text on the 'Find That Horror Film!' page when said lazy slob can just demand that everyone find the name of the movie for based on their vague descriptions and then whine about the fact that he was called out for the lazy slacker he is. If the title sounds strange and foreign, just look up in the dictionary. Oh, that's right, you can't take the time to seek any information out for yourself, so here you go, slacker!

(A note from a very grateful movie goer! - we all do this for the big bucks!) The year was 2007. It was a very scary story about a nerdy little dweeb who ran a horror movie search website. People would use the website's search engine using key words from the movie, but because it was a crappy search engine it didn't return any results, and because most people have a life and don't have the time to sit and read hundreds of listings, they would use the form page to ask for help finding the name of the movie. If it was a question that had already been answered, the immature little dweeb would write the word AGAIN in very scary capital letters next to his answer, in order to SHOUT his displeasure. One day in 2007 someone again emailed a question about small creatures that come out at night, but this time they used all Caps in their email. This caused him to finally go insane. He tore off his clothes, and ran into the woods screaming AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN....... I am not sure, but the name of this movie may have been AGAIN

I remember renting this movie but I do not remember if it was a straight to video or if it was made for television then released on video. I do not remember any of the actors names but I do know that it was made in the 90's and its about a child that, while exploring the area around her house, finds two pilots who don't know they are dead. The child befriends the two pilots who are from the world war two era, and helps them rebuild their plane and finish their flight. I specifically remember the kid finding the engine and restoring it with help from another character. At the end of the movie the pilots start to take off and the plane goes from only being visible to the child to being visible to the parents and police running up to the kid. I hope this is enough information.
Result: The Mighty Thanx Marphisa, tjp. Apr 3, 2007
I probably saw this film in the mid-nintys, but the film was most likely made in the eighties. It wasn't a very popular film. It was in color and it took place in America during the present time period. I saw the movie on a rented VHS tape. The basic plot was there were two young boys (could be in their teens?). One boy was confined to a wheel chair for his whole life because of some illness. The other boy was large and awkward. The two boys befriend each other and are bullied by teenage boys. In one scene, the large boy and the boy in the wheel chair are being chased by teenage boys, one of the boys has a switchblade. The large boy picks up and carries the boy in the wheelchair through some sort of shallow body of water in order to save him from the other boy with the knife. Through out the movie, the boy in the wheel chair keeps telling the large boy that there is a facility that is going to "make a new body for him so that he can get out of his wheel chair and live a healthy life." The boy in the wheel chair actually points out the building where they are supposedly developing a way to do this.At the end of the film, the boy in the wheel chair dies, and the large boy is devastated and he runs to the building where they are supposedly "making healthy bodies" only to find out that it's just a large laundry matt. So it turns out the boy in the wheel chair knew he was going to die all along, but he just made up the story about getting a new body to give the large boy hope and so he wouldn't worry.

Okay, I saw this movie in the mid 90's I believe, because I remember wanting to watch the Olsen Twins Halloween movie, and that was released in 1993. However, the movie I did saw terrified me and I can't find it for the life of me. The bits of the plot that I do remember are a boy playing in a sandbox and then a hand popping out of the ground. I believe the boy is the main character having a flashback. This man seems crazy or something. He always sees a huge monster and he eventually kills the monster, but it turns out to be his wife or something. It also has something to do with a house for sale I think.

Something about an evil man (?)(demon, wizard, sorcerer, ?) and his demonic child trying to resurrect his wife by killing visitors at his mansion. He kills a group of young people who break in (i think) to "party". One girl finds a Ouija Board and the evil man possesses her with it. Some guy urinates in the fireplace and makes a comment, "This isn't the Ritz" when someone complains. The people in the party are killed (when they argue and split up looking for an escape from the mansion) by the monsters pictured on the Ouija Board (an asian lady whose really a spider, and three others I can't remember). At the end, the possessed girl's head splits open and the Ouija power kills everyone else who stayed behind (i think). Once all the visitors are dead, his wife gets resurrected. However once resurrected, she becomes distressed about what her husband had to do to bring her back to life (and she's angry about her corrupted son). She tries to escape the mansion, but as she does, those killed to bring her back come back from the dead to try to kill her...

In the end the demon tries to kill a priest but he sees her for what she is and escapes to the castle's church, and saves everyone by making a deal with the demon. His souls for their lives...

She cuts off all the little girl's hair and then used a hot iron to curl her hair and burnt her. I think the father snaps and ends up bashing her head and I think she died.

Back in the 70 or 80s I saw a British miniseries/show where a boy's family inherits an estate from a long lost uncle. Don't remember how but the boy gets lost in the estate, and meets the ghosts of a brother and sister who died in a fire or from some illness. Somewhow, he goes back in time (to the 1800s) and meets the brother and sister who were orphans being raised by their uncle who was usually drunk or away on business. I think there was a plot to kill them - think the housekeeper/nanny mistreated them, or they were kept hidden so the uncle could keep the money. There was another subplot where the sister was in love with this chimneysweep or servant who the brother disapproved of. The boy ends up helping the brother and sister live. I think the sister runs off with the servant, so the brother disinherits her and it's later revealed the boy is the descendant of the sister and the servant. I remember it was in colour and there was a scene with a black horse driven carriage. Also in the original timeline the servant falls off the roof and dies. Not sure if this was on PBS or TVO.

In another scene they are running across an empty field and get slapped by random hands/arms that come out of the ground. Dan Aykroyd is in it for sure, along w/a lot of other recognizable comedy actors.

This was a Christmas movie probably from the early to mid-80s. The story involved two truckers driving cross-country to deliver packages to some kids or something. I remember they get into a fistfight at one stop along the way. It was (I guess) meant to be a moving drama about two losers finding the true meaning of Christmas (or something along those lines) but, as I remember it, the movie was just boring and stupid.

I'm 36. Saw a movie (maybe on Sat. afternoon Creature Features, maybe not) when I was a kid (6-10?). However, I *think* it was an old one, black and white. Something about an island (maybe?) with castaways on it (maybe?) but what I do remember is a guy on a raft and something was wrong with the water; like you'd be melted or disappear or something else *bad* if you touched the water. Sorry, this is all I can remember. Maybe too that the guy on the raft had a pole to move the raft with?

I was watching this movie on FearNet. I only saw part of it, but the little boy looked so familiar, and I couldn't figure out who he was. A man and his father, wife, and two children are having a picnic, all seems happy. The young boy is in overalls and has blonde hair, is very cute. He is flying a kite and drops it, the handle getting stopped on the ground. Meanwhile, the little girl is sitting at a bench and complaining about wanting to fly the kite. While all three adults are paying attention to the little girl, the boy [who looks about 2] runs and grabs the handle to the kite. It starts bouncing off near the road, and he follows it, close by. The father to the middle aged man says to watch the boy by the street. At that point, the child keeps going and going. The father turns and takes off, the mother is yelling to get him. Before the guy can grab him, this huge big rigged truck comes flying down the road. The man tries to put on his breaks but ends up running the boy over. You see the boys red sneaker bounce in the middle of the road, all banged up and torn. I'm assuming the child died, the next scene is the father to the boy looking at photographs of him. The man was middle aged, brown hair. The boy was very small and blonde, with a cute smile. The little girl was a wavy haired brunette. The other man looked pretty old.

I am looking for a title to a movie from the early 80s (maybe earlier). Here is what I can remember. I believe it is a color film. I belive it stars a litte girl (not sure who). There is a fireplace that has a hidden passage behind it. She enters the passage way and it is very dark. I believe there a ghosts of some sort in the passage. At least images of people. They may be following or casing her. Im thinking until she falls into a hole or well or something like that. There may be treasure or a necklace or jewlry involved as well. There is also a very distinctive song (or notes) being played on a piano at this time. Some girl came out with a song a couple of years ago (01-03 ish) that had the same tune as this scene in the bacround of her song.

70s or early 80s movies. The movie has stayed with me even today - it scared me that much! It involves an old school house full of kids and then some freaks (I think they were wearing masks) came to kill them. I remember they were trying to get in through the windows. And then I think the kids ended up on a school bus. I remember it being a dull movie (not alot of colour), and it might not have been an American film.

Do you have any other suggestions because I truly have been searching for many years and don't knoew where else to look. - poster)The movie I seek is set around the 1970s or late 1960s. I remember a preacher and his wife are in a car and for some reason the preacher is set on fire and crucified while the preachers wife hides. He was killed by some sort of cult. Later in the movie a group of kids about college age, I think her grandchildren try scaring her and accidentally kill her I think by pushing her down the stairs. The phone rings and on the other end is a cult member that killed the old woman's husband and the man thanks the man for killing the old woman but says it's now their turn.

Round about the early 1980s, when I was about 5-years-old. I saw a movie about an evil little girl. I don't specifically remember her killing anyone. I remember she had long blondish hair and was reportedly a Capricorn which for some unknown reason stuck in my head. At the end of the movie I recall a bunch of white birds attacking her and ripping out her hair until she was bald. I think it was the movie the Awakening from 1980 but I'm not sure.

I'm sure its from a pretty well-known horror film.. The scene I am trying to trace is set inside a house, I think maybe the character(s) are trying to escape the house via the front door. The front door opens and a huge monster head bursts in, the size of the entire doorway, with bulging eyes and big teeth from what I can remember. Terrible special effects, but great anyway! Think the head might have been kinda pink in colour. Not sure if there might have been a huge pair of oversize grasping arms accompanying it too, but I think it was mainly just a huge head! I was thinking maybe one of the Amityvilles/Evil Dead/House, but not so sure now. The film was in colour, and must have been a video rental I was watching in the late 80's or early 90's.

A late 70's or early 80's film. A bus full of schoolkids (early teen and younger) were stuck and lost in a forest when their bus broke down (what happened to the adults? - I don't remember). They come across a forest creature. The creature looks like it has leaves and moss instead of hair (looked like a walking leaf pile). In one scene it drops on the top of the bus, silently and unseen and follows the kids.

I saw this film when I was about 10 or 11 years old in 1991 or 1992. I saw it on TV so it must have been a 1991 or 1980's film. All I can remember is this scene where a person (in a lab coat maybe) was writing on a blackboard/chalkboard. They started writing really fast and started writing odd characters on the board. Then they stopped writing and began mutating into some creature/beast. The character's shirt/labcoat had spikes/spines or something similar rip through it as he mutated. Then later in the film this creature chased 1 or 2 characters down some hallways.

Hi. This film was from the mid-1970s (about the same time as Trilogy of Terror). Guests that had nothing in common were invited to a mansion and then started getting killed, one by one, in different ways. One of them was killed by a pack of dogs and another was swimming in a pool and, all of a sudden, there was a kind of glass cover over the top of the pool and, when she couldn't get to the surface for air, she died too.

I saw this movie on television in Northern Indiana about 1982(ish). The movie plot is about a family that moves to a rural community. This community has a tradition that every year (I believe it is connected to harvest time)they have a festival with dancing, good food, and corn. The festival finishes with all the young men in a circle with a young girl in the middle. The young girl dips her hands into blood (sacrificed animal I think), and walks around the inside of the circle looking at the boys. She chooses one by smearing the blood on their chest. The boy is ecstatic that he is the 'chosen' one. It is regarded as a very high honor. That night, the women of the community go into the woods with the young boy for the final part of the festival. No men are allowed to see or be a part of this 'women only' part.The man that has moved there is very curious about this 'ritual'. He goes to see the festival.The next thing I remember is that he is sitting on a bar stool with dark glasses on. He is talking to someone, and then he shows them his eyes. He has been blinded.

I am looking for a film that was in movie theaters in the Dallas Fort Worth area around 1985 to 1988. I think it was called After the Rain. It was about a teenage girl and her family was "well off" and a young man who worked for the father (I believe)on the farm or something. The father doesn't think the young man is good enough for his daughter, but they are in love and sneek off to be together, it rains on them, she goes home and that night "after the rain" she runs off to be with the young man. Many years pass and they have a nice family, poor but they are still in love. Their sons are out fishing one day and meet a nice old man (grandpa) and I believe the father goes to the daughter an all is well. Not sure on the ending. it seems it was set maybe in the 1920's or 1930's maybe later.

I seem to recall it's a one word title like Envious or Disgust...something like that...Here's the plot:A teenage boy from an affluent family falls for a beautiful,young blond girl who lives on the streets with her boyfriend who robs houses.She sets the kid up and robs he and his parents home. I think the father may have been asaulted. The mother goes out looking for the girl, her boyfriend and a cherished necklace that was taken.I recall an old abandoned building they lived in and a confrontation...Now here's the end: At a public swimming pool the blond gets the teenage boy in a leg lock and drowns him in front of about thirty kids swimming and no one sees or notices...'till he floats to the surface and the blond climbs out and walks away...but not far enough where she can't see the boy's mother come to the pool, see her dead kid and give mouth-to-mouth to no avail.The final scene is the blond on a merry-go-round, smiling...maybe with her boyfriend...It's a riveting movie, very depressing but so well-done it'll hurt ya.I'd be most grateful and I HAVE to buy this if it's available on dvd. I saw it on Sundance maybe five years ago.

It ends when after travelling for hours and hours they finally pull into a field as they can no longer drive as they are exhausted, stop and the next thing is that a ring of clan members with flame torches encircles the motorhome.

I'm looking for an American movie that came out in the 80's. It's about a teenage girl who gets sent to a boarding school by her father. I remember that she sleep walks and she has a gift for controlling bugs.One scene that stands out in my mind is when she is getting teased by her class mates and she calls on the bugs and the bugs all swarm the windows of the building. The plot of the movie is that the school starts to have students disappear and and the girl investigates the disappearances of the students with the help of a fly that detects dead bodies. It ends with her finding that the killer lives in the headmistresses house and that the killer is her deformed son. If anyone knows the name of this movie it would be great. I once thought that Soleil Moon fry was in the movie but I've looked and nothing like this shows up on a list of films she has made.

OK, I have only fragments of it in mind, as it's one of these "I saw it as a kid" films. I must have seen it in the mid 80's then.It's a (70's?) sci-fi dystopia movie, but the bits I remember the clearest is a man (policeman?) runs and gets a heart attack. He wakes up and has lost a leg. A nurse comes in and drugs him and does pay attention to him asking what has happened. This runs as a sideplot - he gets more and more limbs removed over time. I seem to recall this part of a cruel scientific experiment.

Back in the late 60's when I was about 7 or 8 my cousin and I saw a bizarre little children's film at the local Sat. matinee, it had to do w/ small animals as passengers on a train. The main character was a little duckling who was, if I remember correctly, trying to solve some sort of crime or mystery. The movie was in color and the animals were real, not animated, and their was a narrator's voice teling the story. I remember that we left before it was over because it seemed so long & boring; over the yrs. it become this stupid inside joke between us. This film has been haunting my cousin & I for the past 40 yrs.
