I saw this movie a long time ago on TV late one night. It involves this guy (the villain) who has some sort of vendetta against a group of people and kills them all one by one in very unusual ways. For instance he drains all the blood of one guy and places it in glass bottles, kills another by filling his plane with mice or locusts maybe even rats I'm not sure. another he drills a hole in the floor and stick poison in the water glass. But the final death is he kidnaps this guys daughter and chains her to the table and hides the key inside her body. He then brings in the girls father and tells him he has only so much time to preform surgery to get the key or she will die, and above the table is this big vat of acid maybe? connected to like a shower head over the girl. I think it's a 60-70's movie.
Result: Strange Invaders (1983) Thanx MystMoonstruck. Aug 22, 2008
This movie was on cable in the early 80s. NOT soultaker. it took place in a small town. it was in color. some kind of "bad guys" are literally sucking the life (or souls or something) out of the residents of the town. when this happens, the bodies deflate like a balloon. there are also balls of light that may be the "souls" when they are sucked out. Eventually somebody (maybe a young boy) catches on and tries to warn the residents of the town. I think there was one scene where the bad guys are doing their soul sucking and somebody catches them and it's upstairs in a house (maybe the attic).

I saw this black and white film on TV in the 1950's, late at night, probably on a weekend night. I don't remember much because I was a small child.but the images have stayed with me all of these years. What I think happened was someone at the head of a large family died and everyone was summoned to this old house to find out about their inheritance. Then, one by one, each family member, while isolated from each other gets a phone call. Next the scene changes to another room where someone, with just their hand (or maybe hand and arm) showing pulls a large switch. The person that is on the phone is electrocuted. Eventually we see a dining room where all of the dead family members have been placed around the table. I don't remember the ending nor do I remember any of the actors. We didn't even have a TV then, but went to a neighbors house on weekend nights to watch a couple of hours. It may have been titled "Telephone Call" (1951) and it may have been on Suspense (1949-1954).
Result: The Hideous Sun Demon (1959) aka The Sun Demon Thanx romanyx. Jul 6, 2008
This is a black-and-white film from the 1950's or early 1960's. It is about a man who turns into a monster whenever he is exposed to sunlight. Near the beginning of the film, a little girl sees a doll at the entrance to an abandoned building where the man is staying to keep out of the sunlight. The girl enters the building and finds the man sitting up against a wall. The girl thinks the man is ill and befriends him. The girl says to the man that he should come out into the sunlight because it will make him feel better. The man says that he cannot as it will only make him feel worse! Near the end of the film, the man has turned into a monster and is fighting a policeman at the top of a water tower. As they struggle, the policeman manages to fire several shots at close range at the monster. The monster then falls to his death from the tower. As he falls, the little girl's mother who was watching from the ground starts to scream.

I saw an old black and white film on tv in the early 1970's. It seemed like a campy horror flick. The characters keep getting killed off in odd ways, one of which is an old lady has her knitting needles stuck through her throat in an x fashion. I can't remember much else except that maybe it was over an inheritance but I'm not sure.
Result: Rawhead Rex (1986) with David Dukes. Thanx Alli. Jul 13, 2008
I'm looking for a movie about a sasquatch-like monster with claws. I think the beginning part of the movie is about a pregnant woman in this pretty nice house, and the monster shoves it;s arm through the door and slashes open the woman's belly. The movie goes on about the monster in the woods, attacking people that go into it and a nearby trailer park. The monster drags a boy out of a van while the father is away with his wife and daughter in an adjacent field, after hearing hte daughter scream. The only way they could kill the monster was with the pregnant mother holding some sort of ray-gun and shooting it, but the monster is revealed to be alive after being barried. The movie was in color, but it's hard to remember the decade because I watched it as a kid (about ten years ago), and even then it seemed kind of old.

The horror movie I am looking for is about three kids' (twins = 1 boy & 1 girl and an older sister)whose parents are murdered.

I think then thesiblings went to live with their Aunt and the older sister is trying to make each of the twins believe the other one did it. In the end the older sister murders the Aunt and is drawing daisies in her blood on the walls. I saw this movie quite a while ago and I have seen it more than once

I remember a particulary gruesome scene where an old lady has her mouth sewn shut and is put upside down in a chimney. Her husband unknownly starts a fire in the fireplace and kills her. Shows her hair burn off, and he comments on the chair he smashed to burn as being a smelly or stinky chair while it's burning. I think there was a sex scene where the participants are killed for their lust. 80's era I presume.

I'm looking for a movie I saw in the early 90s, but I thin it was made in the 70s. I remember a women, in her mid to late 20s, who had several young women, I think the were in the late teens, under her care, I believe she might have been a teacher at an all girls school. All I remeber was that there was a man who was stalking the girls. I think the stalker actually raped one of the girls. As a result she was traumatized. The teacher and the police couldn't get any information about what happened to her. There was one sceen where the teacher and the girls were in the woods? for some reason. Another sceen where the teacher was driving and one of the girls was sitting in the back seat. When the teacher backed up the stalker was standing behind the car and was illuminated by the red light from the car, but only one of the girls saw him. I remeber her referring to him as the devil because of that. I THINK there was a sceen involving a water tower, probably at the end.

I saw this movie about 15-20 years ago, between '88 and '93, but the movie appeared to be early eighties or late seventies. It starts with the leader of the gang in jail and he is either afraid of the dark or enclosed spaces. Somehow, he gets out and his gang runs into who I think is a cop and his partner and they attack the two, killing the partner. The survivor goes after the gang who holes up in his house. The gang assaults his wife and her friend. Once the man arrives to rescue his wife (after donning the blade of a shovel for a mask, I think) the gang puts his wife in the attic. The leader goes after the wife, but because he is afraid of the dark or claustrophobic he can't get to her. The masked man dispatches the bad guys.This was a color movie, because I think the wife was a red-head.

I was flipping channels in a motel in 2005 and watched a scene from a movie that now I'd like to find. It was a killer bees or wasps movie, video-quality, made-for-TV-ish. Seemed like a 90s or 2000s production. (I've checked "Killer Bees" (2002); that's not it.) The scene I saw: The bees/wasps have gotten loose from the cargo area of an airplane into the passenger area. The bees/wasps swarm; the people panic. A high-school- or college-aged girl comes to the rescue, though; in desperation, she grabs a fire extinguisher and kills the bees/wasps with the spray. "Take that!" she yells. "And that! And how about some of this? I know you don't like that!"

unfortunatly I don't remember the date and year of this movie exactly but I think it must have been in 2004 that I saw this movie. I think it's from the early or mid 90's. I believe that it is a historical movie about a war in east europe, about a woman who has a baby and constantly needs to hide for a group of 'soldiers' who want to kill her and by some reason her baby too and lots of other people. can't really remember why.I actualy only remember the closing scene which made a huge impression on me. It was like this: The woman knows that these soldiers were very closeby, and so she hid her little baby in an old boat or something. She's being found moments later, and she and some people are forced in the water and this guy starts killing these people by hitting them with a big hammer on the back of their heads. Meanwhile the baby starts to cry and could be discovered. and the mother heares it and starts to hum or sing for the baby so that it will stop crying. The Baby stoppes crying but the mother gets a hit on her head because she doesn't stop singing. That was the last thing I remember. The baby was being saved, the mother wasn't.

I watched the movie when I was a kid. At the earliest it is from the eighties. I really can't remember much about it. I think it was set in medieval times and I think it is a girl and a boy that are the main characters. At one point they end up at a land of giants. At first they are really mean to them, but them they have feast (There is a scene with the cooks and a cat?). Then for some reason they have to escape. They go out a window to escape. They go through large mazes. There is also another scene I remember where there are large rocks thrown at them by giants. Hope some one knows what I am talking about. It could have been made for TV I'm not sure. Also, I think at the beginning the boy stays with an older man that lives by a lake of some sort. He has lots of knick-knacks and I think he is the one that is the guide of there "journey."

I watched this movie perhaps 10 years ago or so, maybe much longer ago than that, on TV, so possibly sometime in the 90's. The movie is about a woman who lives in a house and is unaware that a guy is living in a secret area that had been built all the way around the outside of the house. I think he torments her as the movie goes on, and she finds his passage way around the house. I recall in the movie being shown an "eye" in like a stained glass window or something. Can't remember if it was part of the house she lived in or what.

I am looking for the name of an episode of either "Hawaii Five-O" or "Magnum, P.I." or perhaps "JAG" -- I am fairly certain but not positive it is one of these series. In the episode, a man who lost his son(?) in World War II plots revenge by killing a visiting Japanese person (diplomat?), perhaps at Pearl Harbor. The man fills a small boat with explosives, and plans to drive the boat (whether by remote control or not, I can't remember) into the place where the Japanese VIP is attending some sort of ceremony. I recall that the boat had one or more mannekins in it, dressed in Navy uniforms so the boat would not look suspicious. At the last moment, the hero (McGarrett? Magnum? Rabb?) foils the plot.

I have been trying to figure this one out for 17 years and still can't get it. When I was a little girl there was a movie I watched. I believe it was on HBO and it would have been the early 80's. In the beginnig of the movie there was a guy painting red stripes on his car, he was interupted when the phone rang. He went to answer the phone and while he was on the phone, the red stripes made a sound of a car starting and the stripes took off and starting going all over the car by itself and when the guy finally got off the phone he turned around and seen his car and made this horrified face and the two red paint stripes jumped off the car and raced to him and up his leg and splashed him in the face. That is what happened at the begining. The movie was obsessed with cars. During the movie there was a part where a baby was born and when the doctor spanked it's but to make it cry it make a horn honking sound. And another part in the movie was when a guy had to take a driving test to get his license and while he was in this car looking machine (kinda looked like a video game car that you would see at an arcade) but anyway while he was in the middle of his test, the tape for the test messed up and he crashed and it showed him black from the smoke and the car crashed. They guy that played in the movie, I don't know who it was, but he had blonde hair. And then finally at the end of the movie the guy got eaten by a video cassette tape. If anybody can tell me what this movie is, I would be forever greatful, because I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. I seen the movie a couple of times when I was little which was in the early 80's, and I believe this was before cassette tapes and VCR's were out, and if they were, they weren't very popular yet.

I saw this movie somewhere in 1990s, I forgotten the year I'm sorry. The film is in color and still on VHS format by that time.The story's setting was in the jungle. It was about some group of maybe five people exploring the jungle. Then suddenly they were being chased by the native. They were all caught. A man or maybe a two of them of the group had escaped but were captured sooner. Those who escaped were beheaded, I remember the native threw a head of one man who had escaped in front of a captured woman.I remember the captured woman was being rubbed with liquid maybe an oil by some of the native while naked but she seemed not resisting at all, then after that she was raped by one of the native. Then after some time they were rescued, and the captured woman had her revenge on someone who impregnated her. I can't remember if she gave birth to the child or not but I'm sure she got pregnant. I think the director of the film was emphasizing on nudity and gore of the film.

I saw an old sci-fi movie in the late 60s I think. As i recall, it started with a man who wakes up in a city that he finds to be deserted. I believe that the city may have been deserted, because of a nuclear bomb threat. He finds a robot that is in the city and the robot tries to eliminate him. The robot is a classic robot that looks similiar to the Michelin Man. He has glass head with spinning ears and the metal is black. The robot moves very slowly, but as i recall, he reacts when he sees movement from the man he is chasing. I remember very little else about the movie. It may have been an early 60s film, but it was not in color, so it was probably 60s vintage.

This was a movie about going inside a video game. There was just a seat you sit down on and then it was like you were in virtual reality and there were 3 stages I you had to go through or you would disappear and the game would take your body. The 3 stages were like walking, flying, and something else. A group of teens were showed this game and told not to use it because the game changes and is never the same each time because it adapts to players moves, but of course one guy just had to try it out. After he vanished because he lost, other people tried to go looking for him in the game and also lost so they vanished as well. Eventually both a guy and a girl get in the VR machine and the girl loses because a flying beast gets her in the walking level and the guy ends up winning and everyone comes out alive. It had similar graphics to the lawnmower man and tron type qualities to it, but obviously was neither of these.

The film I'm looking for is British, probably made for TV, I saw it on Norwegian tv in the late 80's (1987 - 1989), the film would have been made sometime in the 80's. I don't have any names of actors or characters, but the film is set in the 1950's and is about three boys (two about nine or ten and one in his teens) who go on a daytrip to do some trainspotting (steam locamotives). I remember one of the two younger boys was chubby with glasses and got teased a lot by the teenager, who was kind of a tough guy in a leather jacket. What I remember about the plot was the three boys up on a railway bridge at the train station they were at for the day doing their trainspotting, with loads of other boys there for the same thing. I remember them talking about the novel Lady Chatterlys Lover, and ending up in the train yard looking at the locamotives housed there. They got chased by this guard with a big dog (and a patch over one eye?), the chubby boy got caught, and, as far as I remember, abused by the guard while the other boys witnessed the incident powerless to do anything. I also remember Magic Moments by Perry Como was one of the songs played in the film, while they were on that bridge. I was about the age of the younger boys when I saw this film and it left a great impact, so it would be great if someone can tell from all this what the film is.

Saw this film when i was aged 12- 15(I'm now 42). I saw it on TV. It was b/w, set in England. A father has a camera that captures the souls of the recently dead that the camera photo's at the point of death, leaving the body reanimated and immortal . He decide to kill his family and live for ever with them. It starts on the streets of London with a man with a long beard and a small mouse. It then flases back a few decades to a younger version of the man, the film then moves through the plot of the camera's abilities. The most vivid memory i have is that when he comes to kill his daughter an accident happens and she is beheaded but still immortal.
Result: When A Stranger Calls (1979) starring Charles Durning and Carol Kane. Thanx Stareater. Jun 23, 2008
all i can remember about this film is a woman is in a house and the weather is very bad she is alone in the house and is expecting her sister to join her, her sister does not arrive at the expected time and therefore she tries to call her to tell her not to come as it is such a bad night but cannot get hold of her and surmises she must be on her way, unbeknown to her her sister is in the cellar of that house and been put in the freezer but all that can be seen is her eye popping out of the corner of the freezer, this is where the phone calls begin and after a terrifying night it is discovered the phone calls are being made from inside the house. i am presuming it was made in the 1970's one of the best horror/thriller films i have ever seen, i have never forgotten it am 42 now and must have been 10-14 when i first seen it.

I remember about 6 or 7 years ago going to a video store which mostly supplied old and unknown movies. The horror movie I rented I believe had two or three stories.(It's not trilogy of terror)I remember the cover looked like and old book and it had a strange title. I know one story involved a man who's wife died in a car accident and he goes to a beach house. The wife keeps returning from the ocean looking pretty gross and haunting him. The other story I remember involves two cops, one female and one male, somehow being trapped underground in a hellish place with lot's of bodies and lots of gore. The only other thing I remember is someone in a library looking through the book which tells the stories.

here is the information i could provide you with- i think it was made in the 90's- it's an american horror/thriller movie- the movie is more on the thriller side as there is nothing supernatural to it- the main heroine is a pretty wheelchair bound young girl- the story revolves around a family, whose wheelchair bound daughter wins a beauty contest of some sort. then the family gets on a van but suffers a road accident. they are taken in by some guys. later the family finds out that these guys trade in human organs. they also have a crocodile pet that feeds on the scraps.

I saw the movie as a child and found it quite scary, it was on tv. I am afraid I have no idea of what age I watched it, but I am 33 now, so it is some years ago. I don't remember much of the plot, except that a disabled boy was murdered. His ghost wants his murder solved so he can rest in peace. You hear constant banging, which turns out to be him banging on a metal bath, were he was drown. I also remember that a ball bounces down the stairs by itself.

The plot of the film I'm looking for (or what I remember about it anyway)is about a young guy who works at a pizza place but really wants to be a rockstar. From what I can remember he make a wish/deal with someone or something (like in the Wishmaster movies)and he gets his wish. However he must kill people in order to keep his part of the deal.As for the year of the film I really can't remember,I rented it roughly 10 years ago, but it is most likely from 80's. The reason I think this is because of the way he looks when he becomes the "rockstar"; big hair, 80's metal band outfits, almost like a KISS band member.

This is a recent movie i have seen a couple of years ago, so i believe it was made after 2000 (i think). The movie is very similar to identity. Several people are stranded in a hotel (or diner)by a snow storm. A Sherrif tells the people they will be forced to stay here as the region where they are doesn't plow their roads very often. People are forced to stay the night and the begin dying one by one.

I am not sure if this was actually a horror flick since I caught it in near the end. I believe the year was 1997. It involved a middle-aged lady and another man who abuse their 'daughter' but are able to hide it from the police since their house is virtually a fortress with traps, torture devices, and dogs. There is this black boy that saves her, and I remember one scene where the girl stabs her 'mother' in defense and tells her to 'Go to Hell.'

I saw a horror show on TV in the mid to late eighties that I can't identify - I believe it was in color and probably made during the seventies or eighties. The main character was writing a book and he had to write it or at least finish it overnight in a strange house. I believe he had made a bet with an older gentlemen about finishing the book before dawn. He was using a typewriter. There were other some people in the house and they all died throughout the night - I specifically remember a woman with dark wavy hair washing her face in a washbasin full of what turned out to be acid, then dying in front of this writer. At the end though, it turns out all the deaths had been faked for some reason, and I remember the woman who we thought had been killed by acid walked down some stairs toward the writer removing make-up (and tape, I think she said "see, tape!") from her face to show him she was still alive. I don't actually know if this turned out to be what he was writing about, or if it was a plot to distract him throughout the night.

I saw this movie when I was about 11-13? It was set in the 80s or 90s and it was in color. It was about a teen girl maybe about 13-16 and her mother living alone together in an apartment condo sort of place and the mother worked but I can't remember what she did. The girl had a friend who was a girl and I can't remember how but they got this guys number and the girl was pretending to be her mother or something and the girls follow the guy around town spying on him or something like that and the only other thing I can remember is at the end the guy finding out where the mother and daughter lived and he broke in and tried to kill them.

trying to find a movie I saw on TV in the mid-80's. I believe it was an American film in color with some black and white flashbacks. It may have been a movie of the week or something of that nature. I think it was supposed to take place in the country in the 30's or 40's based on their clothing. In the beginning there is a family in their living room and a woman is looking into a mirror. In the reflection she sees people coming through the windows to kill them and the family escapes through the fireplace (or basement) and finds the underground tunnel. They end up finding a body of a young girl, I think, that had been missing for years. There was an older man leading the family and there were two children,

I am trying to identify a film I saw on HBO within the last year. It was not in English; I think it was in Spanish. The film had two parts. I started watching toward the end of the first part in which a man had broken up with his girlfriend and she was supposed to move out, but he kept getting glimpses of someone in the house. It built to him catching a woman in the house and locking her in a room. In the second half, he left the house and broke into the house of a woman in a wheelchair and he lurked there for several days, staying just out of her sight. Eventually, she gives a party and he comes out of hiding and speaks to her but then hides again until the woman's boyfriend traps him in the basement. The ending was rather cryptic. He finds a tunnel in the basement and it leads to the woman he had trapped, I think. I was intrigued enough to look up some information about the film and learned that an English language remake is planned, but I have forgotten the name and can't locate it with keyword searches.

Result: The Storyteller The Heartless Giant an episode from Jim Henson Thanx saundrah. Jul 20, 2008
I saw a movie back in the late '80s or early '90s. The time period seemed like old ireland maybe - or that kind of setting. This movie involved 2 brothers and a giant. the only part i can really remember is the ending where the giant tells the one boy : "Inside a hill is a well. Inside that well is a swan. inside that swan there's an egg.inside that egg is my heart.", then sends the boy after it. The young boy returns to the giant with the egg, only to have his brother smash the egg, thereby killing the giant and then the giant turns into a beautiful hill. It is driving me crazy because i can not remember the name of this movie, and my mom thinks i'm crazy because no one else remembers even watching it, tho we all watched it together! I've looked everywhere!

I have been trying to find the name of a film I saw in the early to mid 1950's (sorry, that is about as specific as I can get) The story involved a man and an old house (possibly he inherited) and as he is exploring it he is stuck by a bolt of lightning.the story jumps back in time (100 years or more) and he finds himself in the story and falls in love with a lovely woman somehow connected with the house. Sometime during their involvement, she gives him a key which he (or she) places in a drawer of a cabinet in the house. Their love story is the bulk of the film. Anyway, he looses her or she looses him.? maybe another bolt of lightning.(sorry)The story jumps back to present. The young man still stunned by the lightning strike gets up and still remembering his love, searches the old house to find the same dusty old cabinet and of course he opens a drawer and there is the dusty 100 year old key. B&W. Local theatre in Kansas.between 1951 and 1958?

Result: Znachor (1982) aka The Quack, a Polish film. The story is quite thrilling - a famous surgeon is beaten by drunken bullies, loses his memory and cannot recollect who he was before. he gets to a village, lives in a not so well to do family and becomes the Quack - he slowly regains his talent for medicine and saves the lives of several village patients. Thanx Midnight Creeper. Jun 25, 2008
Unfortunately I do not remember any names not of characters nor actors. I do remember the plot though: it is about a very successful and respected surgeon which gets attacked on the street and suffers an injury at the head causing him amnesia. He ends up in a small village, not knowing who he is (no IDs on him either as he was robbed). The only thing that he remembers is that he can cure people, and starts doing so, helping the people on the village. It even performs a surgery on the head of one of the patients. Eventually authorities find out that he practices medicine without a license and that gets him into trouble but all ends well and he ends up fully recovered himself in the end.I also kind of remember that the attack on the doctor was ordered by someone envious on his success, but this part is a bit blur. The strongest impression I have, and the reason for seeking this movie, is his dedication for curing people. He forgot everything, but not that. That he remembered and practiced it outstanding even in the absence of a "real" hospital and medical instruments.I am from Romania, and I saw the movie on TV about. 20 years ago, give or take a few years. We only had a B/W TV back then, so I can't say if it was the movie B/W or just the TV. but I got a feeling the movie was too. From what I remember looked like a 70's (at most) movie, could even be 60's or maybe even earlier. The movie was definitely American, that I'm sure about.

Horror Film- I believe it was in French. It was these two female friends, a blond and a brunette, that go to one of their parents house but in the middle of the night a man walks in a kills the entire family except for the two girls. The brunette is kidnapped by the man and the blond escapes this fate by hiding in the closet. The blond manages to follow them all the way to the man's house and at one point too, they stop at a gas station where she tries to get help but she fails. At the end the brunette tells the blond that she is insane and reveals that it was the blond who actually kidnapped her and killed the brunette's entire family. It is also revealed that the blond girl was actually in love with the brunette which may have been part of her motive for doing all of that.

I am trying to find the name of a film that i saw on IFC last summer. It was about an odd girl who killed people to obtain a body part from each in order to make a perfect person/friend for herself. in the end she needed and eye and took her own eye. I think the title was just a name, the name of the main character. There was also a doll in the movie. I seem to think the title was Mae, or May or Amy, but can find nothing under those names. It was kind of darkly humorous.

This movie came out briefly in the 1970's, mid-to-late decade I think. I remember the trailer. The plot seemed to revolve around an 'uncle' who was wheelchair-bound and somehow was grafted into a painting. He had one big eye and one little eye. Only the eyes moved in the face. His name was possibly Arnold. His relatives had to survive in the house (for one night?) in order to inherit his fortunes. I remember one scene where someone was about to be impaled by spikes sticking out of two walls that were closing in on each other. It was creepy!
Result: Amityville 1992: It's About Time (1992) Thanx Midnight Creeper, Alli. Jun 8, 2008
This movie was an 80's movie I think. A family moves into this house in a small suburb. The starring role was the 18 year old teenage boy as the camera was on him most of the time. Strange things happened in the house and it all seemed to come from this grandfather clock that was possibly evil. In one part, the dad was taking out the garbage or walking down the street when a dog ran after him and the dad tried to climb a fence but the dog bit his leg badly. In another part, the boy was listening to his family from behind the kitchen door when the family was about to eat and suddenly the mood in the other room changed and his mom, dad, and sister all sounded like they were having sex for some reason. Naturally the boy was confused and came into the kitchen but the rest of the family was all just sitting down eating dinner. I think the boy eventually figures out that it is the clock making all these weird things happen so he tries to destroy it, but the clock doesn't let him, but eventually he destroys it anyway.

He leaves the room and somehow becomes possessed. A girl goes looking for him and then he attacks her while squealing like crazy. I think eventually others become possessed or pig nose guy starts killing people off.

I'd have to say I saw this film in the late 60's early 70's, and Im assuming it was also released during that time period. It has a woman who checks into a "lodge" type looking motel (not a highrise or 2 story). I think she had blonde hair and all I can remember is that when she gets settled into her room she can hear chanting, I believe it gets somewhat louder and she starts looking around the room. She goes to the floor and removes a carpet covering a wooden door built into the floor. She lifts it and goes down the stairs and see's a large group of people all wearing black hooded robes, they may have been doing a sacrafice or something. scared the beegeezus outta me back then, but I have for many many years always wanted to watch it again. Im assuming it's a B cult satanic movie, and I can't be sure if it was black & white or color.but a guess tells me color.
Result: Eyes Of Fire (1983) starring no one you've ever heard of. I watched it on VHS shortly after it came out, and it featured several quite chilling scenes that rely more on suggestion and psychological horror than gore and special effects. (great coverbox!) Thanx Midnight Creeper, VideoKid. Jun 8, 2008
Bad 80's horror/supernatural movie. I'm pretty sure it was 80's, it definitely started out on VHS.It had something to do with a demon or something terrorizing a Pilgrim/Puritan/colonial community, most likely in 1600's America. A young girl was the main character. The cover had an illustration of a girl with a black hooded cloak, and she was surrounded by weeds of some sort that extended into hands, if I recall. I don't think anyone well-known was in it.

The movie I'm looking for is in color, may have been produced around the 80's or 90's (sorry).The key parts I remember are :- twice in the movie, we can see sentences written with blood slowly appearing from the wall.At one time, I hardly remember this is the wall of the cellar- the story is something like a family moving into a house where there were a murder. The murderer is still alive, but jailed into a maniac hospital. During the night, the mother is dreaming and the maniac is coming into the dream. He starts to harm her in the dream, but she slowly gets harmed in the real life. (a little bit like the Freddy movie).- the little daugther plays an important role, but maybe only as a victim.- at the end, I clearly remember the mother dies, and at her turn, she becomes the one that will haunt the murderer in his dreams (or nightmare would be more correct)- I hardly remember the death of the mother is a drawning in the frozen lake of a damThe things I am *sure* of:- words written in blood, slowly appearing.- dreams and maniac haunter- death of the mother at the endThis film is not that old, I would say maybe around 1990, but time's flying.

When I was about eight, in the late 1970s, I saw a movie on TV late at night that scared me silly. It was black and white, appeared to be from the 1940s or 1950s or so. Two women, perhaps sisters, kept a man captive in their basement. I believe that one of them hit him over the head and put him down there. He might have been a soldier returning from war, but I could have made that part up. For decades they kept him in their basement, in the dark, unshaven, unwashed and growing ever more insane. Eventually, now old and hideous to behold, he escapes and comes after the elderly sisters.
Result: Das Indische Tuch (1963) aka The Indian Scarf starring Klaus Kinski. Man invites people to his castle and then strangles them one by one with a scarf. Thanx Suzette. Sep 12, 2008
I saw this film on television when I was a child in the late 1960s or early 1970's. It's in color and I'm sure it dates from the 1960's, possibly 1966. It begins with people having a party on a boat going to an island castle where this woman's husband is. The people on the boat are drinking and laughing and I remember a close-up shot of a woman's foot wearing a high-heeled shoe, (it had a stilletto heel-typical 1960's shoe); her foot was either dangling, swinging, or tapping in time to music being played at the party. She may have been wearing jingling bracelets as well. When they get to the castle, the woman's husband is found dead and laid out in a coffin. The dead man has a hideously deformed face, which may have been partially eaten away by acid. That night, the man with the deformed face seems to have risen from the dead (he's tall, wears a dark blue suit, and may have gray hair), and he goes around strangling the various guests in the castle. It turns out that the killer is not actually a dead man, but a look-alike robot that this woman's husband created. It may be that the husband wasn't dead after all, and is controlling the robot from behind the scenes; the body in the coffin may have been fake, or may even have been the robot itself. I think the husband wanted revenge because his wife cheated on him. The film was spooky and atmospheric, and scared the hell out of me when I was five or six.
