Thanks, NE. I'll look it up. I saw Carrie when I was a teen but I don't think it was in that one. :)

There's only one hand coming up in Carrie.

I got a tough one for you and not only because it's probably rather unknown - I also barely remember anything.

What I do remember is that it's either in a church or in a school (or not), it's about some people that research a weird energy (or not) and that there was a scene where one or more homeless people or zombies that stand in front of a building in a yard and they get eaten or turn into alot of insects. I think there was also a scene where a woman gets drawn into a mirror.
So yeah, that's all I remember, most of it extremely vague, only that it really scared me when I was a kid. I think it must have been a movie from the 80s, but not sure.

Good luck! :D

ah! thanks for the link, rayne. :)
that's what i do, too. last year, i actually found a brand new copy of the the beyond anchor bay edition that had been out of print for some time for about $25. of course, my luck, now it's being re-released via grindhouse. :rolleyes:

BlahC 10-19-2008 07:23 PM

Okay, let me test your vast knowledge once again, as there is one other movie I've been trying to find for years now. It's 80s scifi horror with a good deal of gore.
It plays at first on earth, where astronauts brought back something from the moon. Turns out it's some sort of evil robot that uses machine and computer parts along with human parts to build itself up into a killing machine. The soldiers there barely manage to bring it down. Later it plays on the moon when astronauts enter an old alien ruin and encounter more of those things.

Sounds like Hardware, great movie.

Maybe I will try my luck here. O.k. I am looking for two undead monster movies. I watch zombie movies a lot, so this could be two different movies. Anyway, here are the descriptions. Both scenes are in color.

O.k. a scene has a bald disembodied head rested on a ground, the head is human-like; the head does not talk. Another scene has this human-like creature possibly with no eyeballs, but eye sockets, maybe a scientific zombie experiment, but the creature definitely has warts on its cheeks and two marks on its forehead (one is a wavy line and another is an upside down "S" symbol). These are possibly from the original "Dawn of the Dead", but I do not think these scenes are from "Dawn of the Dead" (the remake) or "Land of the Dead."

Any thoughts?

horrorman 10-23-2008 12:18 PM

Does no one know the answer?

The Mothman 10-24-2008 05:46 AM

i can tell you its definitely not dawn of the dead '78, but can't help you out beyond that.

horrorman 10-24-2008 12:46 PM

O-k, I will check out "the Land of the Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" (the re-make) just to recheck, but I do not think the two scenes I am talking about are in those either. I do not even know if the monsters from the scene I am describing are actual zombies. The scene with the disembodied head on the ground might just be the disembodied head of a priest or something (not "Dead Alive", I saw that movie), and the scene with the hairless monster with markings on its forehead might be from a scientific experiment undead monster movie, I do not know, anyways, thanks for trying to help, though.

I need help with the title of a modern horror movie.

I believe it was done sometime in the 80's-one scene was of a couple in a car and the young lady in the passenger seat began spewing her guts out, to the horror of the guy sitting in the drivers' seat.

Another scene involves two guys getting into a fight and one of them winds up on a work table getting a drill bit drilled through his head.

I may be off on the details, but this is what I remember of it.

Elvis_Christ 10-31-2008 07:14 PM

That one's the Fulci flick City Of The Living Dead

blue_demon 11-09-2008 04:01 AM

Title of the film?
 
I saw a film many years ago...I would like to see it again but can't remember the title.

It was British but maybe not Hammer. There was 4 or so stories in the film a bit like The twilight Zone movie. Made in the 70s or very early 80s...

I think there was one story where they drove to a village where everyone became zombies at night.

I think there was a comedy-horror story which was set/or partially set in a bar.

The title might have been 'Night of the ghoul(s)' but when I checked IMDB it didn;t match up...

Any help would be coooool

Cheers!

The Demon

Elvis_Christ 11-09-2008 04:47 AM

Could be Tales From The Crypt/Vault Of Horror they were English anthology flicks released by Amicus

blue_demon 11-09-2008 05:27 AM

Thanks but nope wasn't them.

ChronoGrl 11-10-2008 03:31 PM

So this is a recent film and it's KILLING me that I didn't write it down.

It made waves at some recent film festivals. It's a foreign film with a little boy and a little girl (in an orphanage? In a hospital?) and the little girl is a vampire. She has really dark curly hair.

That's all I got. Thanks in advance.

Forhekset 11-10-2008 04:00 PM

ChronoGrl - Could it be "Let the right one in"? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/ It's a recent Swedish film about a girl who is a vampire. But I don't think it's set in a hospital or orphanage... Haven't seen it myself yet.

Doc Faustus 11-10-2008 04:04 PM

Beat me to it. It was in this month's Fangoria. Looks excellent.

I've heard absolutely incredible things about this one.
It's coming to our fair city in December. Can't wait.

As an interesting side note, a friend of mine saw it in Los Angeles. While he was standing in line, he turned around to realize that Paul Thomas Anderson was right behind him, waiting to get into the same show.

Roderick Usher 11-11-2008 06:58 AM

Let the Right One In is my 2nd favorite film of the year. Right behind The Dark Knight and ahead of Trick 'R Treat.

The film is starkly beautiful, moving and has moments of amazingly brilliant violence. My writing partner and I were actually approached about the English language translation - so I have a DVD screener:D but we had no interest in the job - the film was too good to be monkeyed with and I'm certain the adaptation will suffer in the translation.

What makes the film so impactful is the way it perfectly captures the sense of upheval inherent in the pubescent mind. The age of the protagonists is everything to the story - they are trapped in the realm between innocence and experience which allows the supernatural to integrate with the natural world with a sense of magic realism.

All I can remember is there was a boy/man whose family left thier home but he stayed behind. He walled in a bathroom in the middle of the home and lived in it. A new family moved in and he is living in that enclosed room w/o the new people knowing. Its an older movie 1980s or older.

Bad Ronald

Scott Jacoby, a nerdy high school youth, accidently kills a neighbor's young daughter. Panicking mother, Kim Hunter, fears the police will not believe that it was an accident. She moves her son into a bathroom that she turned into a secret hiding place. After her death, a new family moves in. In the meantime, Ronald has gotten lost in a fantasy world created in his own head from being hidden away for so long.

I see you found the thread:D

about what years are we talking about?

bloodrayne 11-19-2008 07:16 AM

The first one, I have no idea about

The second one immediately made me think of Night Of The Comet, but I don't specifically recall a chicken eating scene (that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't there, it's just been a while since I last watched it).

Another movie also entered my head, but I can't remember the name of it...People were turning into zombies (I don't remember why) and a few humans ended up at a small, local radio station...The owner didn't want to let them in because he thought they might be infected...He lets them in, then a man and woman show up...The woman ends up turning and killing her husband and the radio station owner turned into a zombie, too...Also, the teenaged boy saw his mother in the street from the window (radio station was upstairs) and he wanted to try to save her, but she was already a zombie...We watched that one only a few months ago...I'm not sure if it's the same one you're talking about

thebigman 11-19-2008 07:26 AM

:(
