Last year an american xmas film was shown hear in the UK. The story was of a boy who was brought up by his grand parents as his parents were killed in a car crash. When his grand father dies he moves back to his birth town to manage the family estate business. He finds out that his grandfather kept a diary and a lady's name keeps being mentioned and his grandmother assumes he had a lover so the grandson begins his search to find out who she was. At xmas when he buys his xmas tree he finds out his grandfather always delivered a tree to an old persons home and this is where the grandson finds the name in the diary that of the lady that killed his parents and all these years his grandfather had forgiven her and looked after her in the home. I do not know of the actors names but the grandmother was played by a prominent american actor.
Result: Just Before Dawn (1981) with George Kennedy, Gregg Henry, Chris Lemmon, and Jamie Rose. I recently watched this on Youtube. Thanx Predator, goblyn, Alli, RomanyX. Nov 19, 2007
I saw this movie in the early to mid 1980s (1983/84/85) on 'The Movie Channel' about a pair of deformed mountain men who go on a killing rampage of teenage/early 20s campers. They use a large ridged knife and wear plaid shirts, down vests, etc. They are rather large and creepy. I thought the title had something like "darkest before dawn" in it, but I can't seem to find it. No real big names or actors who stand out. I remember the begining where a guy goes into an abandoned hunting shack where he is murdered. His friend is waiting outside for him. When the deformed creature comes out, he is wearing his friend's clothes (hat, vest, etc). When the guy realizes it isn't his friend, he turns to run, only to get murdered by the killer's deformed twin brother. Wierd.The one scene that really stands out in my mind is when one of the cratures takes a whistle off a murder victim and approaches a campfire where one of the remaining female characters sits, shivering. The creature approaches, squats down beside her and blows the whistle. SUPER creepy. This was a very LOW BUDGET horror flick, but no less scary than anything else that came out at that time.

I keep remembering scenes from a horror film I saw somewhere between 1990 and 1993, though I can't remember how old the film was. I had a black and white TV then, so I can't tell whether it was a color movie or not.What I can remember: something about a crew sent to some planet to do I don't know what. The bad guys were aliens in the shapes of rocks from what I recall, and when they approached unaware victims, the camera was their POV. I think they had one eye or something, or one hole anyway, through which they could see, because their POV was a diffuse dircle in the middle of the screen, through which you could see the victims being watched.One other thing I remember is that after the victims were killed (they wore astronaut suits), their body deflated and there was nothing left in the suit, maybe just skin.Lastly, I remember that in order to protect themselves from the aliens, the crew drew some kind of perimeter surrounding the base, with electricity or something, that prevented the rocks from entering.

i think it was in the early eighties. i remember a series of british made horror movies, that appeared on late night weekend television, in my home town of tallahassee fl. they appeared to made for tv. they also were sort of cheesy. but as i remember them, they scared the hell out of me. then again i was only in my early teens. one of the movies may have been called the screamer or something like that. again i was in my early teens, so my memory may not be exact.

In the scene, a vintage 50's-style car begins to very slowly float up into the air. There's at least one person in the car - a guy - and although you are not shown what is happening to him, he is screaming bloody murder. It was one of the creepiest scenes I had ever seen. I'm pretty sure the car wasn't being "tractor-beamed" by a UFO, or anything... it just seemed to float up in the air for no other purpose than to make the scene extra-creepy and weird. Why the guy was screaming is also a mystery... there wasn't a monster in the car with him, or anything... there was just some inexplicable horror at work. Perhaps the movie was set in an alternate version of Earth's reality, or something?? I can't remember if the movie itself was from the fifties, if it took place in the fifties, or if it was just a fifties car... I can't even remember if it was in black-and-white or not. I am 36 years old now, and I couldn't have been any older than twelve or thirteen, so I'm thinking the movie is at LEAST 20 years old, perhaps even 40 or 50. If anyone knows what this film is, I will have a heart-attack.

What movie was this wherein, a girl was married with an old century guy who belongs to the old times and the girl didn't knew that the guy was from this old times, whose only purpose is to have a child and sacrifice it. and then the two couples gave birth to a baby and this guy wanted to sacrifice this baby in order for him to live in the present time, it's just like the movie which had a plot of a person who eats the soul of a person in order for them to become young and live longer. And in the last part of the movie, the mother and her baby were saved by an entrusted person of the old century guy. it is a colored movie and is around the year 1970-1980?

Im trying to recall a film i saw in the 90's. A religious family (i beleive there are 4 girls and maybe a boy as the children) and the grandparents move into a house and the mum is doing laundry one day when she hears her own mother calling her then sees a black image dancing on the walls. The family understands they are haunted and try to leave the house but the spirits follow them wherever. Scenes i can remember from the film include the mother and daughters singing amazing grace in the kitchen before the youngests communion, the father being "raped" by a female ghost, the family going camping and returning to the neighbours complaining the house had been nosiy all weekend and the fact that the house is haunted by at least 4 spirits.

I saw this movie on cable in the 8o's. I think its a Italian movie. Its about a little girl in an apartment building. Her mother is mean and abusive. The mother makes her go outside and play after threatening her with a hot iron.Then when she plays jump rope with the other girls, they try to strangle her with it. The abusive mother eventually kills the father and the mother goes after the little girl. Then thay have a "prensent" type of setting (in the eighties), shes all grown up now. She still has some issues from her past. Her brother is now a priest but wants nothing to do with her and blames her for their fathers death. Later in the film she meets a man, a photographer. He later in the film takes her to a party at the apartment she grew up in. Weird things start going on at the party till finally shes cornered on the roof of the apartment building and they all expalin to her that she was supposed to die in that buliding. She fell off the roof. The end of the movie shows the same photographer meeting a new girl, that hes probably going to do the same thing to. It was in the mid 80's, and probably foreign beacuse of the fasions and the scenery. Im guessiing Italian.

I remember watching this movie in the early 80s on a pay channel, either hbo or showtime. The movie was about wild horses being captured and I think I remember a young boy trying to set them free. The horses were to be sold after being corraled and loaded onto a truck. It was in color. I was such a young girl,but i think the word warrior was in the title. My sister thinks the words mountain or wild and free were in the title. my sister thinks the horses may have been sent to glue factories also, but isnt sure if she is confusing it with another movie.

I'm searching for a horror movie for my mother-in-law. She remembers watching it sometime between 1970 and 1986,she thinks ( I know a lot of help that is) All she can remember is that there is a creature that apparently attacks when people are sleeping because the main character drinks sugar with coffee in it and constantly eats candy bars-anything to stay awake. He stirs his coffee with a pen and tries to warn people.

I saw a horror movie twice in the 70's on TV. At the time I was a young kid. It was on when they used to have Friday or Saturday night horror movies every weekend. The only thing that sticks in my mind is that a woman's husband had died and was buried in a crypt. It was sort of like a cave with tunnels and there were coffins lying around. I remember the wife is frantically searching for her husbands coffin to remove a ring from his hand. The ring will give the dead husband the power to rise from the dead. I remember a man is helping her search, maybe a new boyfriend? Anyway, while she is trying to remove the ring he opens his eyes. He knows that he has been betrayed and tries to kill her. I remember them barely making it out of the crypt and they jump in a 60's model car to escape. I think the dead husband even rips the door off the car. Now that I'm an adult and love horror movies, I'd like to locate this movie or at least know the name of it so I can set my Ti-VO to catch it if it is ever on.

I'm looking for a film that was watched on VHS in the late 1980s, but believed to belong to a family who had teenagers at the time who had watched it when they were younger, so anywhere between 1970 and 1989 probably.The plot involves a boy running away from security (perhaps in a mall?) and then taking his younger brother and sister from their Mom's house (run down, bad place to live) and the film had a lot of them on the road, perhaps in a Volkswagen Bug (Beetle) - not sure on the car though.This is not "Homecoming" which has a kinda similar plot but not the one I'm looking for!

She seems to be the only survivor and is struggling to survive during the cold and raining season. I remember her having maggot infested wounds in her back. She struggles a long time to survive and is then somehow found and placed in a hospital run by nuns. This is a movie that's in color and it not a horror movie.

I saw this movie in the early 90's when I was a kid and it's forever etched in my head. There's a teen girl who gets raped by her uncle I believe. He normally tucks her in at night but one night decided to rape her. There was another scene where she is frantically washing her sheets in the bath tub and her mom walks in on her and assumes she got her period I believe, but the teen is irrate and yells at the mom to leave. The teen then commits suicide by hanging herself from a tree I believe in their backyard. I remember there was also a scene where she has a friend who I think is homeless and lives out of a broken down car? And he tries to kiss her at one point and that sends her over the edge. Any thoughts? I believe they are a Hipanic family? But i'm not sure.

I have a childhood memory of sneaking in the room and watching a movie that my parents were watching on TV - aired in the 70's - black and white film seemed like it was late filed in say 50's - 60's era. Police were trying to track down a murderer. I think it ended up to be this handsome young man seemingly good guy - not the one expected. But anyway, it involved a french policeman and a scary final chase scene in the woods. I belive the crime was young women were being raped, strangled... by this guy. It was very scary to me as a kid, but the scenes are so vivid. The policeman was French but the film may have been British. The build up in the end was this rush to try to catch this guy - The Police running thorugh the woods on foot, to catch this guy before he killed a woman. He lured young women by seeming to be this handsome, romatic young man.. women would go with him - in his car, and then he drove into the woods to be alone with them for seemingly romantic notions, but he then he killed them... so the last scene is the final chase down to catch him before he kills this young woman ...

The best I remember this was an early 80's movie, I know it was color. I only really remember a boy being chased and runs into a wall, and he starts feeling around and finds a door handle, and opens it up, when he closes it, he is inside of a trailer being pulled by a pick up. I remember he takes off his hat and is actually a girl. Another part is toward the end, man is in a building, and he looks through a window and sees two men in suits with an air supply hooked up to them. He finds where the air going into the suit is, and swaps the hoses and a liquid fills the suits up that the men have on. And the last thing I can remember is at the very end a man in an oversized mask, possibly a baby face on mask, but it was very large, and he took it off. Strange sounding movie, but I would love to know what it is.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and I think it was black and white and would have been 1960's-1970's. From what I can remember it was about two rocking horses which get separated. One rocking horse is in a little girls bedroom (I think that the family had just moved into the house) and it is possessed (the rocking horse). The mouth of the rocking horse moves and you see its teeth (evil). It ends with them having to place a full length mirror in front of the rocking horse so that it thought it was back with its mate.

I remember seeing this movie around 1980. I think it was on HBO or Cinemax around Halloween, late at night, when they ran horror/suspense films back to back. It looked to be set in the present (late 70's early 80's) based on the station wagon with the "wood" siding on it I seem to recall. I remember a station wagon swerving to avoid hitting a young boy, that turns out to be a ghost. I also remember a large house, 2-3 stories tall. One of the roofs had a peak with either a weather vane or a cross on top. One of the characters from the movie is out on the upper roof, either escaping something evil by climbing out the window, or they were trying to help someone else trapped on the roof. The person slips, and is impaled by the spike sticking up from the weather vane. I think it sticks through the neck or head/eye socket. That's the only gory image I really remember.

The voice says, "Well, how about you cut off your nose to spite your face". At this point, clearly against his will, the man reaches for some kind of implement and begins removing his own nose.

Kids are talking about an urban legend of the body of a dead construction worker still behind the walls(who will move later in the film).

B&W movie, probably 50's - College campus I think. 2 students in a car, stop when they see/hear a "meteor" crash to earth. Go and investigate, find a pod, pod opens and out jumps something. They end up being large, slimy creatures that look like huge bloodsuckers that take humans over by jumping into their mouths and attaching themselves to the spine. Only way to get rid of them is with heat. Only way to "fry" the alliens without killing the host is in a very hot room. I think final sequence is in a basement with a furnace that gets turned up really high.

I am looking for a movie I recall seeing when I was really young. It has stayed with me and would love to see it again and see just what was so scary about it! I believe the year was in the 1990's. I do not know an exact year but definitely between 1990 to 1997. It is in color and it had an anthropological theme. The guy who played Colombo may have been one of the characters but I am not sure. Basically it is a mystery thriller and end the very end the children they have been looking for end up as part of the cave paintings being investigated. The cave painting actually comes to life and moves and you can see it is dragging something. I also remember there being an older woman like 50 to 60 years old who is helping with the investigation.

I saw this movie around early 1970's on televeision. It was in color. I don't remember much but a husband kills his wife and buries her alive on the side of a dirt path. She screams for help but no body can hear her. I only remember passerby's on, I think horses, horse and buggy??, I don't think there were cars. I think at the end she is found and rescued by someone and they pull her out of the dirt. Not much to go on, what made the biggest impression on me was the horror of her screams for help, I had nightmares about it.

this movie is a british movie (early 80's colour) and it was shown on TV about two years ago.

One detail remembered was that there was finger tappings involved.

I saw this movie numerous times on TV right around 1980, give or take five years (sorry for the inaccuracy), but tend to think it is more likely in the 80's than the 70's. Definitely inspired by the 'Deliverance' theme. Not sure if this was a made-for-TV or cable movie. It was a color movie. Here are the vague impressions that I remember. Two or three city-slicker guys go on some kind of road trip together and wind up having a pit stop in some backwoods honky tonk where they piss off some of the locals (or find out something they shouldn't have??). Don't know if they are killed or abducted or ?? but something bad happens to them at the hands of the locals. Then, either their wives/girlfriends start to think something bad has happened to them or maybe they were supposed to meet up with the guys later on, but for whatever reason, the girls come out after the guys. The 'lead' actress is definitely a brunette, kind of a young Susan Lucci look. The gals stumble upon the same backwoods clan in the search for their guys. I'm not sure if this clan was a criminal group (like moonshiners or sex traffikers) or just a bunch of inbred hillbillies, but they lived as a small family/community in the woods/mountains. In any event, they kidnap the city gals and hold them tied up in their backwoods huts for the implied purpose of sex and domestic slavery (maybe eventual sale into sex slavery?) and further abuse...The girls are 'befriended' or 'warned' by one of the clan women already there and somehow trick her or use her help to escape (or maybe one of the husbands finds them??). In any event, the kidnapped girls turn on the clan members and start to kill them for revenge (or to escape)...I'm pretty certain one uses a bow and arrow (or maybe dynamite?), although I might be confusing that detail with another movie (maybe "Mother's Day")...that's all I remember, but I know I saw the movie more than once, and can find neither hide nor hair of this movie when searching the web using all kinds of keywords.
Result: Superstition (1982) Thanx Midnight Creeper. Nov 7, 2007
I remember this film from when i was a young kid. I guess it was late 70's early 80's. It involved a number of people trapped in a house (can't remember why they were there). One by one they all get killed in various gory ways. I remember something to do with a microwave (possibly a head in a microwave), someone being stuck in a chair and some kind of power tool attacking them. Towards the end of the film, the shutters on the windows open and they think they can get out, but one tries and gets trapped. I think the very end of the film ends up in the basement of the house and something to do with hell! I remember at the time i thought it was brilliant, but i was young.

This movie isn't really scary film, but it is a family halloween movie. I use to see it on tv when i was younger, im guessing it was made in the late 80s or early 90s. It is about a bunch of girls (i think they are witches) in a boarding school or witch training school. The girls are divided into teams for a game of who can scare the other team the most. The points are counted by the screams of the girls and I remember they had certain rules for the game, like they weren't allowed to use masks. There was one girl, the bully of the movie who would always cheat though and never get caught.

I saw this black & white (made in the 50's ?) american movie probably in the late 70' early 80's (on television). It's a story of this very sick young woman who happens to live in an apartment and has a drunken artistic old gentleman as a neighbor (both Caucasian) whom she shares her fear of dyeing with. She seems fixated on every leaf as they fall off a tree that is located outside her window, every time a leaf falls off she thinks she's one step closer to death. As winter rolls around, one leaf is left hanging on the tree, as it's about to fall off she is staring at it intently, as she holds her breath, and as the last leaf begins to fall to the ground she is surprised by an identical image of the "last leaf" behind it painted on the wall by her drunken artistic neighbor, in order that she will not fear her immediate death. As she runs out of her apartment, happy to be alive & to share the news with her artistic drunken neighbor, but is only devastated to see him laying on the staircase-dead. I think he made a pack-His life for hers.

I saw this film between 1980-1986, i think?. It was on tv when i use to live in ireland. It was a musical film; love story (with dancing and singing) I think some of it was in black and white and some of it was in colour. There was a woman/ maiden in it with red hair, it was set in a castle, i think the castle was meant to be in Ireland, as there may have been reference to a rainbow. There are two travelers who come accross the maiden, I thought one of them was Bing Crosby but i can't find anything on his site. The traveler could be dreaming the whole thing. There is a sword fight in it. And it isn't Brigadoone!

I saw this movie a long time ago so I'm not clear on all the details. It may be a tv movie. Probably in the 80's, but maybe in the early 90's. It takes place on a cruise ship. So a couple go on the cruise ship. The next day the wife can't find the husband or she thinks he's dead or something. She asks the staff for help. They pretend they don't remember her and make her seem like she's crazy. In the end the husband isn't dead. He wanted to get rid of his wife. So a planned it with the staff to make her go crazy.Now some of this sounds like Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd but it's not.

I saw this film perhaps in the 1970s, on TV. It was black and white and I believe british. There is a gothic house(?) where 2 children go to stay for the summer(?)

The man takes a cigarette and places it into a frogs mouth, like the frog was smoking and the frog blows up.

He has another woman who he is originally in love with but she loses him to this so-called witch or enchantress. It's in color, perhaps late 70's.

The mom heard her screaming and got her in time. They both ran. That movie caused me to be extremely afraid of Tarantulas.

When I was a kid (late '70's/ early '80's) I once saw a movie on TV (it may have been made-for-tv) that left a lasting impression & I'd love to see again. I've asked alot of movie buffs, but no one seems to remember such a film so, here goes: To the best of my memory, it was B&W. The leading man was possibly a cop or a detective. I distinctly remember that the female lead (possibly his partner or girlfriend) had a wristwatch that played a tune when it's alarm sounded. For some reason they visited or were investigating a dark, creepy old house. I dont remember why they initially went there but, by the end of the film, the partner/ girlfriend was missing and the man went there searching for her. The person(s) living there denied having seen the missing woman and I remember it being quite suspenseful. I just KNEW she was in that house and if the man had didnt find her quickly she would die or, worse, was already dead. Unable to find her, the man had no choice but to leave. He was almost out the door when he heard a faint noise - It was the woman's watch alarm, sounding from somewhere inside the house. He frantically followed the sound until he found her - She'd been bricked up inside a wall! Pretty creepy stuff for a 10 year old kid up WAY past her bedtime!
Result: The Uninvited Thanx Snazayjazzay. Feb 7, 2008
I saw this movie on T.V. somtime in the 70's. I believe it was at least 20 or 30 years older than that and I think it was in black and white. The story was of a wealthy man whose wife had died and leaving him with their daughter. Latter it turns out that the wife was not the girls real mother as the father had had an affair and that woman had bee the real mother. This woman had died after giving birth to the girl at the house. The girl grew up believing that the wrong woman was her mother. It could be that the man took the child away and they were now coming back to the house after years of absence. I can remember a scene where the father is ill in bed and the ghost of his dead wife is forming behind the daughter as she kneels down talking to him. He can see the evil spirit forming behind his daughter but is too weak to warn her.
Result: Man In The Wilderness starring Richard Harris and John Huston. Loosely based on the story of Hugh Glass. Thanx Midnight Creeper, Janet the Film Goddess. Oct 29, 2007
I saw portions of this film on cable a few years ago: A man is injured in the wilderness, with a badly broken leg. I think it's set in Canada or the northeastern colonial America, sometime in the mid or late 18th century. He is a crew member or officer from a ship, which for some reason is being pulled across dry land - I can't remember if the crew are pulling it, or a team of horses. The man struggles to survive against native American attacks, wild animals, winter weather, and starvation. He follows the ship, but for some reason cannot let himself be discovered by the captain or crew. In fact, there is some kind of beef between himself and the (sadistic? insane?) captain, and I think the man set set on revenge. Meanwhile, the ship continues to be trundled across the wilderness - very bizarre.I have never seen either the beginning or the end, but I would love to see the whole surreal thing from beginning to end. I thought the name of the movie was "The Ship" but I can't find anything like a movie with this plot synopsis on IMDB, Blockbuster, or any other site. I think the film was made sometime around 10 years ago, and may or may not have be released in theaters.
Result: Dirty Work Starring Norm MacDonald, Artie Lang, Don Rickles, Chevy Chase and more. with Jack Warden, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, and John Goodman show up in uncredited roles. It was directed by Bob Saget. Who also had a bit role in "Half-Baked". Which starred Jim Breuer. Thanx Jeremy, Midnight Creeper, Charity, Malcam. Oct 29, 2007
This may be an odd request, my husband is trying hard to recall a film he saw about 5 yrs ago. He thinks a comedian from Mtv named Breuer was in it. Anyways, it is about this man goes after someone as a sort of revenge thing. When he is done its suggested by his buddy that they should go into business getting revenge for others. So they do and I am guessing this whole movie is about these men doing business as hired revenge seekers. Not sure if this is able to be found, but if so...it would settle tons of arguments around my home.

His coffin slid out & opened up. This was the scene inside the movie that I mostly remember. There were teenagers involved. I think it was in color. The man was alive with the psychic powers and when he died he used his telekinisis to channel out to return to life.

I saw this movie back when I was in my teens, was probably 15 or 16, so that would have been 1988/1989. I rented it at a local video store but it seemed to be a b-rated horror film because I don't recall it being advertised in the theaters. the premise of the story was a couple of guys making a delivery to a store for some reason I think it was a video store but it may not be. after making their delivery when they are about to leave, they take a videotape that was left on the counter that someone drop off. they get to their apartment and start watching the tape, it had different tales on it, one I remember had like a hand puppet with a razor. after they watch the tape the characters that were in the movie come out of nowhere and start attacking them.

Erm...I was IN a made for TV movie in the late 1970's (76? 77? 78?. Its working title was "The Doll" but that may have changed. I have had several people tell me, over the years, that they have seen it. It was directed by Bob something who was known for directing episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies. Anyway, it featured the story of a teenage girl whose parents are killed. While visiting their gravesite, she finds a doll & takes it home. The doll mesmerizes her and she stabs everyone to death. Can you help me find a copy? (Yes, it was a very B movie!)
Result: Friday The 13th: The Series Sounds like an episode (nothing to do with the Jason movies). In the second season there was an episode called The Playhouse that aired in the late eighties and fits the desciption. Thanx mmccrossen. Nov 1, 2007
I saw this movie in the mid- to late-1980's; I believe it must have been on TV because I was much to young to have seen it at the theatre at that time, but the movie could have been either made-for-TV or a network airing of a theatre-released film. It was definetely in color and I have the feeling that it wasn't that old when I saw it...but I could be wrong. The only parts I distinctly remember are these two children (I think a girl and a boy, possibly brother and sister) have a playhouse. They take people they don't like into the playhouse and by repeating the phrase "I Hate You" over and over, the playhouse wall opens up and absorbs the unfortunate victim. If I remember correctly (and my memory is quite fuzzy due to passing years and my age at the time), the playhouse's downfall was when it decided it wanted the children's parents...either that or it tried to split the children up and make the sister hate the brother...something along those lines. In the end, I believe the children couldn't go through with it and started to say "I Love You," and everyone that the house had eaten miraculously returned. The only other detail I seem to remember (although I suppose this could be my memory embellishing over the years or a result of a very over-active imagination at the time of viewing) is that, with each new victim, the playhouse would get bigger, or better, or offer some sort of coveted reward to the children who were bringing in the victims as an incentive. At the end, after all the victims had been returned, the playhouse returned to its humble beginnings, losing all the size and influence it had gained. Perhaps the playhouse is burned down or collapses or has some sort of final end...I don't recall.

Result: Dead Calm (1989) Starring Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill and Billy Zane. Thanx Jeremy. Oct 25, 2007
Color movie seen twice on primetime network television (probably ABC) in the mid to late 1980s. I was only about 6, so my memory and understanding may be fuzzy. Here is what I am certain of: Men and women were on a boat together. There was tension and violence. One of the men killed another man by causing him to be chopped up by the boat prop. The water filled with blood. If it doesn't have this scene, it isn't the right movie. What I'm not certain of, but think: There were at least two couples and some singles. There was a rivalry for the attentions of one woman. One of the women may have had red hair. I believe they had found a shipwreck or something else valuable under the water, and greed over that is what led to the violence. I don't know how many lived or died, but I think they had to be rescued. It could have been made and set anywhere from 1970-1990, but I think I saw it between 1985-88. It's definitely not newer than 1990, and I doubt it's that recent.
Result: Alfred Hitchcock Hour (1965) Where the Woodbine Twineth episode of the TV series. Thanx Midnight Creeper. Nov 1, 2007
tv show, probably something like a twilight zone or outer limits episode or something along those lines. The story line is about a young girl who gets a life size doll for christmas. Both the girl and the doll wear dresses and their hair is in ringlets. The girl takes the doll outsde to play. Outside is a large yard with a wrought iron bench around a tree and bushes nearby. When the doll is taken out of the box it comes to life and the girl and the doll play together happily. I think this happens several time but once the doll refuses to get back in the box and instead manages to get the girl in the box, where she turns into a doll.

I am looking for a movie that would have likely have been produced in the 70's and was probably a made for tv movie.The basic plot is that there is a heatwave around the world being caused by some sort of cosmic event or object.The only hope for the world is to be able to redirect or break up the object or band of objects causing the problem. They determine that the only way that the correct trajectory can be obtained is from a submarine. It then becomes a race against time.
