Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

I've been trying to track down a movie (or TV show) I remember my father watching in the fall of 1981.

The one scene I remember had a guy talking on a payphone. While he spoke, he started having a fit. He was holding a necklace with a silver cross, and it melted in his hand.

I believe later in the movie, we see he has a scar in the shape of a cross on his palm.

Any ideas?

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

maybe BELLS starring richard chamberlain .

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Can anyone help me with this one from when I was a kid(20 years ago or so)? All I remember was this big house or castle that was haunted and there was a bloodstain on the carpet that would not come clean. I seem to remember something about the ghosts being hurt by the paranormal investigation. Sorry I could not be more clear, but it was decades ago.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

How about this one. It's not a scary movie but it was kinda creepy. It was a TV movie from sometime in the late 70's or early 80's. A woman hides her teenage son in a secret room in her house because he commited some kind of crime, I don't remember what it was, and she wanted to keep him out of jail. She dies and the house is sold to a new family but he doesn't leave. He stays in the house and never leaves the secret room except to eat. The family hears strange sounds and starts to feel like they're being watched. It bugs me that I can't remember the name of this movie.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

it sounds like bad ronald. one though hope that helps.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Yes I do remember this movie as well.Dont remember the title though.However I do remember that the reason the boy was hidden in the secret room by his mother was because the police were looking for him.What had happened was that he accidentaly killed another kid when they were fighting or he was being bullied.He shoved the other girl down and the other girls head landed on some bricks.So she hides him in the room.She dies other family moves in and so forth.I remember the boy drawing weird pictures of the devil or the Duke as referenced in the film on his wall.That is what really scared me.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Yes The movie is called Bad Ronald.Pretty creepy.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

I'm fairly certain you're talking abour The Canterville Ghost. There have been several versions of this movie, but the one I remember from the 80's starred John Guilgud as the ghost and Alyssa Milano as the girl trying to help him.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

I might as well give mine a shot too...
The first is maybe a TV movie from the 70s that I remember my mom watching. There was a man whose wife was being tormented by these three creepy creatures that somehow came out of a film. Maybe he was being tricked by smeone with a projector, but I didn't see the whole thing.
The other is about some astronauts who crashland on a weird tropical planet and are attacked by spiders and plant creatures. Think that was the 70s too.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

alot of memories with these movies growing up in the 80`s. both your movies ring a bell. just can`t recall the name of the movies. maybe you people knows this title. early 80`s movie. a monster attacking ski town resort?

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

That one sounds like "Snowbeast".

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

i have one for you....it is an early-80's slasher which ends with the "nice" fat guy( i think he had a curly fro) helping the heroine to dispose of the"killer" into a furnace(in a school or something)...turns out the nice fat dude WAS the killer.....can anyone help me with the title on this one??? saw it as a kid and it freaked me out!

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary movie?

That sounds like the scene from Excalibur where Percival first encounters the grail. I am probably wrong, but that was my 1st reaction. Wait, no in Excalibur he is forced into the river by some angry townsfolk along with a scraggy Lancelot. Sorry, can't really help here.

The first reminds me of that episode of Circle of Fear/Ghost Story TV series, where monsters from horror movies came to life in a ghostly way. I think John Astin was it. But may have been more than 3 and not a man's wife.

The second sounds similar to The Angry Red Planet (1960). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052564/
They land on Mars, is tropical, carnivourous plants, and 40 foot rat bat spider crab.
I seem to remember another one with smaller spiders tho.

{Message didn't go in right place.)

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Yes I remember seeing this film as well.The shoelaces and such forth of the little girl.I believe the man who was in the bathtub was Dennis Weaver.The radio then dropped in the tub as well.I forgot who played the mother though.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

I just remembered the mother was played by none other than Valerie Harper.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

If anyone is still awake, I have just a bit of a movie. A dream sequence in a light plane, and I think a guy nearly falls out, or does. Maybe at the film's start. I just cannot connect it to anything or remember more.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

by any chance you know what year the movie was made?

DarkAlessa now the end of day and Iam the Reaper:silent hill

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

You mean me Darkalessa? No, I just remember seeing it on TV probably early 90's, and the film seemed modern, so it may be 80's.

spiralheadcase I see you found your Black Angel (1979)

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

yes superman I was trying to see if the movie you saw if I seen it ?

DarkAlessa now the end of day and Iam the Reaper:silent hill

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

great nostalgic thread , i might as will give mine a go around;


-.Can anybody out there please tell me the name of an old black/white(if my memory serves me right)horror film, about a man with an alligator head(some kind of curse i believe),who lived in a train wagon, was always wearing a silk robe(ala hugh hefner)and played melancholic melodies in his piano longing for some ex-girlfriend.
i watched it when i was a little kid and i dont remember the title or the name of any of the actors. perhaps some horror film aficionado can help me out...i would be eternally grateful.

-.the second one is a horror tv series(ala night gallery), it must have from the 80's, it was british, the credits had a kind of gadget girating with some tarot cards showing(death, the devil, etc.), and the music was blood curling creepy...

ring any bells anybody...

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?


It appears the first is The Alligator People (1959) B&W
The only film I've heard of about an alligator mutant - that's a man. I haven't seen it. Comments mention he plays the piano, but lives not in a wagon train, but a shack in a plantation, with a swamp surrounding. Check out the comments and see if it's it. http://imdb.com/title/tt0052549/


Yes, the second is definitely Tales of the Unexpected TV-Series (1979-1988), just as I expected.
aka Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. http://imdb.com/title/tt0075592/

It ends with a 'Carousel' of Tarot Cards just like you said. Just saw the Youtube clip:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=zzaobXhzX9E&feature=related
In case it's deleted, just type the title in search.

The distinctive music is by Ron Grainer, who did the Dr Who theme. The Omega Man is another of his uniquities I love.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

exactomondo superman1, right on both counts, thanks so much for the info lad.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Great thread!! Can't wait to see " Don't go to Sleep".

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Oh wow. I had thought about "Don't go to sleep" every now and then, remembering a few scenes from it and always wondering what the name of that movies was. It's great to finally know it.

I have another mystery movie I'm trying to find out the title of. I remember seeing it on TV back in the 80's. I'm pretty sure it was a made-for-tv affair, but I might be wrong. Here's what I remember about it:

A commercial airplane carrying passengers disappears off radar for a short while, then reappears and lands as scheduled. However, as time goes by the family of the passengers notice something isn't quite right with their loved ones. Eventually it turns out that during the time the plane had disappeared the passengers were all replaced with alien imposters. They were cyborgs or androids or something, I think. I seem to remember their eyes glowing or something similarly eerie. This one scene that sticks out after all these years is when one of the aliens/cyborgs gets run over by a tractor/wheat harvester/some type of farm vehicle and it's remains are a sparking mass of wires and metal.

Ring a bell with anyone?

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

. I thought I'd know a movie like this. Could it have been a Twilight Zone episode or similar series?

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Somebody please help us!

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?


Sounds like Millennium (1989)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097883/ except for the tractor part.


Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Nope, not it. I saw the movie I remember sometime closer to the mid-80's.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Yeh, Millennium was about time travel, and no androids.
Keep trying!

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

I asked what film it was on Yahoo Answers and got an answer straight away!
Annihilator [1986]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0090649/

I have not seen it. But I recognised the cover art of the video.
Not on DVD. I could not find a VHS or DVD-R anywhere, even on ioffer.com that has had all rarities I've sought so far.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Great Ceasars ghost! That's it! And here I was starting to think I'd never find out the name of that movie again. Now the real task is to actually find a copy...

Thanks a bunch superman1!

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Here is another one...my friend saw a movie when he was a kid and only remembers the end of it. A man somehow gets his clothes caught to a giant sea turtle and it drags him into the ocean's depths to drown. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Could that be The Bermuda Depths? I have heard of that with a giant sea Turtle, with a young Connie Sellecca.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Thank-you so much, Superman1!!! That is the one!!

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Any others? I'm here to humanity.

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Well, it took me years to finally find Motel Hell was another movie from my childhood that I remembered bits and pieces from. But I am sure there will be others! :)

Re: Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Wow, I think it is wonderful that after 3 years this thread is still going and people are still helping out each other with forgotten childhood movie titles. Good job guys!, and superman1, I will have to think of something for you to locate for me sometime, your good at this! :-)

Okay, here is a title I need help with

I remember this as a child and do not know the name of it. It was a movie filmed in the 80's, I want to say 84/87ish and it deals with an underground lab that has I think 3 bald naked alien kids in captivity. In a distance some miles from this Lab, a woman seems to hear these weird whale type moans ( a distress call from these beings that only she seemed to hear) and is kinda going nutz from it. I remember a guy and that woman later rescuing the alien kids. Also, you were not able to touch thier skin cause you'd get shocked to death I believe. Any help would be great....superman1...do your magic :-)

Re: Okay, here is a title I need help with

This looks like another job for ....Yahoo Answers!

Re: Okay, here is a title I need help with

Well, sillyheart1977, it took under 2 hours this time. My Superspeed - eER I mean Yahoo Answer's - is lagging. It is probably...

Wavelength {1983}
Starring Robert Carradine
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086571/

I have never seen it! Not fair! But I do remember, again, seeing the video back then.
It's not on DVD. A couple of VHS on eBay. One DVD-R, at this time, on ioffer.com.

Re: Okay, here is a title I need help with

YOUR GOOD! Thanks for the info buddy :-)

Re: Okay, here is a title I need help with

all right then superman1 - if you're still reading, I've got one for you:

I remember seeing it in the early 90's (between '92 to '94, at the latest) on either CBS or NBC. I'm pretty sure it was a three part movie about a giant squid attacking people. From what I remember, there is one scene where this old fisherman is sitting in the cabin of a fishing boat and he's looking at Playboy magazine, and then suddenly the squid attacks. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I could probably just as easily have looked this one up on Yahoo answers; but for the sake of keeping this post alive and sheer laziness I have decided to ask you.
