I really think that I cram too much information in all at once, in short time periods, and it all starts to get garbled

The Freddy's Nightmares episode I saw involved a talk show and one of the panelists on the show was a rocker named "Monkey Puke" I believe. Dreams that Kill was the title of the show.

The episode you were referring to was Dreams That Kill from Freddy's Nightmares...I confused the talkshow host (named Charlie Michaels, played by Dick Gautier) with Downey...One of the guests, from 'Mothers Against Musical Atrocities', hit the host in the head with her purse and knocked him out...Freddy entered through the unconscious guy's head and took over the show as the host, himself...I hope that helps to restore my reputation...I guess I had just picked the wrong 'crouton' from the Horror Salad that is my brain...

Looks like I'm still doing it :D

Thanks for helping:)

@Big Man: Sorry I couldn't do anything for ya

Zombie movies are my favorites as well and I have the same problem...

I've got one that's been on my mind for awhile.

It's about a family in a house and there's a camera or robot in it watching them. And the thing is posessed and locks the house down or something among those lines. It's an older movie.

The Simpson's parodied it I'm sure.

If that doesn't help, I'll try to think of more details or try to find the episode from the Simpsons.

*EDIT* I found it.

It was called "Demon Seed." The camera bit might have thrown you off because they used HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey as the camera in the Simpson's episode.

I've had a copy of Demon Seed for ages but haven't got round to watching it. Same deal with Inseminoid. I'll have to have a night watching Robot/Alien rapist flicks :D

Alright, I just made an account here to ask this question, so hopefully I've come to the right place.

When my sister and I were 9/7 years old respectively we saw a film on TV that terrified us that neither of us have been able to track down in our adult years, but I would love to locate, if nothing else for nostalgic value. My memories of the film are so vague, but I'll try and explain what I remember best I can.

It's a horror movie very much in a similar vein to the Poltergeist movies, with a family being terrorized by ghosts in their home. I'm pretty sure this particular film revolved around shadows, at least most of my memories of it involve shadows. The scene I can remember most clearly involves the oldest daughter in the family lying in bed as the shadows of two large hands slowly come together, casting the entire room into shadow. I seem to remember the film ending with this same girl dying of some mysterious "cancer" related causes. I also seem to remember something about the father hallucinating in the garage, and something about a snake, but that's about as detailed as i can get.

If anyone could point me in the right direction given such little to go on I would be eternally grateful.
