Hi

This is my first post here. I have been trawling around the web for a certian film i saw when I was a kid but can't seem to find any info on it, I hope you guys/gals don't mind if I pick your brains...


The film goes like this...

black and white I think

A woman inherits a house/mansion, after the old boiler in the basement is opened up (despite warnings from the old caretaker) some small humainoid prune like creatures start to come out and cause trouble and eventually kill the occupiers. One scene that comese to mind is when the band of little monsters get a cut throat razor and leave it on the bathroom floor for the woman to tred on.

If anyone knows the name please let me know - its drivig me mad.

I remember the show, although I can't recall the name. I don't remember it being in B/W. It seems like it was a short story, maybe tales from the darkside etc... There was a scene where they all stood on each others shoulders to unlock/open a door, and in the end didn't they end up dragging her into the boiler with them? Sorry I can't be of more help.

THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I do....and I was trying to remember the name of it!

It was about these tiny demon people who lived in this woman's house and killed people!

I knew this was the movie............actually the woman getting dragged away by the people was the at the beginning of Chiller Thriller..............

Damn that brings back so many memories..........if it is out of print the only chance to see it I guess is if they replay it on TV. :(

One of my favorite childhood movies too! Yes I was a sick kid LOL! :p

Fuck Disney.........

You shouldn't have any problem finding copies of this on eBay. I've noticed several auctions for bootleg DVD copies lately. I bought a VHS copy on eBay a couple of years ago. It was great to see it again after so many years!

Me too. I'd tell my friends about watching these movies, after school and on weekends and they would just look at me like you are strange.
