A movie question
 
Hi, I know this is my first post, and that I won't post anything other than thank you for the answer, but I have a question about a movie. It's a horror movie I watched about 15-18 years ago. It's about a group of people in a house or a small building that is haunted. I remember that when they entered the house all doors and windows shut and the bars on the windows locked, so they were trapped. There was one ghost in the house, and I think some sort of a cross, that when someone had it the ghost couldn't hurt him. And at the end of the movie they lured the ghost in basement and locked it there, and the lock was actually that cross.

That's the best description I can remember. Anyone knows this movie?

Nope. Some more info, I think i watched it about 1992. And I think I remembered one more scene, where this one guy was alone, the ghost opened one window so he could escape. But when he jumped out of the windows and fell to the groud, the ground turned to something like quick sand and sucked him in.

Anyone else?

Hmm. Still no. I just wanna say that when I watched this movie I was maybe 5-6 years old, so some of my descriptions maybe wrong.

Sistinas666 12-30-2010 12:29 PM

Ok-to start this was not a horror movie but I didn't want to start a whole thread over this silly question.I was fairly young(13 or less so 1990 or before) when I saw this movie:


A young boy rescues his grandfather from a nursing home and they go on the lamb. I remember little more than that other than it must have come out around the same time as Rambo 2, Stand By Me, and Life Force(just a timeline reference, not accurate).


I may not remember right but it seems like they may have been in the desert. The boys father(the grandfathers son) was searching for them and my memory is hazy but i seem to remember horses and a six shooter.

Sorry for the vague details but any help would be great!

I remember an old sci-fi/horror movie about these mollusk-like creatures created in a lab. The only scene I remember distinctly was the scientists trying to kill the creatures with cows loaded with radiation and the creatures dropping from the trees onto the radioactive cows. Not much to go on, but anyone know this film?

I think its "The Monster That Challenged the World" Synopsis from imdb: An earthquake in the Salton Sea unleashes a horde of prehistoric mollusk monsters. Discovering the creatures, a Naval officer and several scientists attempt to stop the monsters, but they escape into the canal system of the California's Imperial Valley and terrorize the populace.

Doesn't look like it from the youtube clip. It looks pretty entertaining though.

I'm looking for a horror movie that I can't remember its name. Please help me!

First of all, that movie is like Stephen King's movies. However, I couldn't find it although I have scanned all his movies via IMDB.

Story: A couple lost their son in a accident. They dediced to move to small town after the accident. There was a home in small town. It was like Stephen King's home and haunted by ghosts. Wife didn't work. She was always in home. I guess husband could be writer. Also, they had a dog. She begun to see certain signs which warn her. For example, she was listening to radio while cleaning home. She heard a voice in radio that said "By the way, this message is for housewife cleaning home: 10 days left... ". Another sign is that: She was awake by her son. She started to follow him. They went outside. She begun to sink in a swamp. Suddenly, she woke up and tought that it was just a dream. However, she realized that it was not a dream when she looked at her own legs. Her legs were muddy. There are more signs like that. End of story: Her husband went crazy. He tried to kill her. She escaped. She saw some muddy monsters in cellar. Finally, sheriff saved them. They moved to the city.

Do you know this movie?

At the risk of being banned and branded by The Devil and the Board for this not being horror, I sought an answer, and posted this on Yahoo Answers. Devil have mercy on my body. :eek:
The answer came, born of woman:

A 12-year-old boy from Long Island, New York wishes to have his grandfather (Abe Vigoda)--who is in a nursing home in Philadelphia with Alzheimer's disease--with him for Christmas. On his own, he travels to Philadelphia and attempts to get his grandfather out of the nursing facility and back to New York. Along the way the pair encounter some menacing moments, a homeless man and an angel.
Co-starring Sherman Helmsley as the homeless man who protects them on their journey.

EDIT: I've looked around for a movie that was made in the mid to late 80's (or earlier) with the same plot but the closest I've come is one called Two of a Kind but I doubt that's the one you seek. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084832

Swingcaptain 01-24-2011 04:23 PM

would love to find out the name of an old movie i saw years back, a bunch of kids in the woods come across this house and stuff, they see big black figure at top of stairs, they try and get out and someone gets halved in 2 as thry try to escape form window, also i think their is a preist in it and something to do with a round saw blade that jumps into a guys chest and starts going round. Possible name in my mind is THE EXECUTIONER or something similar, would llove to find out the name of the movie and if its still around... I'm thinking 1970's early 80's

The Mothman 01-24-2011 08:44 PM

This isnt a horror movie at all but its driving me bezerk. Its a childrens cartoon in which this little boy entered this dream world. I remember that he enters the dream world via this hot air balloon. Another part I remember is when he opens thees giant doors with a lock on them that contain all this black sludge (which is bad and ultimately starts flooding the dream world. I also remember the boy got this cepter (sp?) from the king of the dream world at one point.

any ideas?

Reincarnation movie
 
I'm trying to think of this movie I saw maybe about 15 years, It didn't seem old at the time so I assume it was made around 1990 or so. I can only remember little bits and pieces.

These two guys entered what looked to be an old European style mansion with, I think, the mission of investigating a guy/group that was reincarnating humans or monsters or something of that kind. At some point its like they discover underground catacombs with rooms with secret books on how to perform reincarnation. After they look at a few books and find other reincarnation related items they decide to look around more then they find trouble.

The last part I vividly remember is they walked into this large room with pits on the floor and their candle died in the wind, after they re-light the candle a big monster (I guess a messed up reincarnation experiment) was in dudes face. I believe I probably ran out of the room at this point.

I have been dying to know what this movie was ever since! PLEASE HELP!:D

Need to know about a trailer I saw
 
Seriously... I need your professed expertise. I just joined and posted this in my newbie intro because I was desperate. Can you help?

I'm a huge fan of horror. Love it. Look forward to anything new coming out. Always looking for new trailers.

I saw one late one night that had a train moving slowly through a post-apocolyptic country-side with travellers in a cargo unit, not a passenger car. They looked tired and defeated and no one spoke. It had a feel of the people in the depression era. You could tell something major had happened by some of the things they passed, blood on walls, bodies hanging, people peaking through windows.

Suddenly the approach a tunnel and the passengers start to tense up, as they go in, they start to arm themselves (I think), and as it gets darker, the train stops, and you hear rustling in the darkeness. Suddenly, I think it's creatures or zombies rush at them.

Am I nuts? I haven't been able to find this again since that night. I could have sworn it was titled the Horde, but that ended up a French cops, bad guys, and zombies film. Didn;t suck, but wasn't the one.

One friend thinks it might be for a video game, but I'd swear it was human actors, not CGI. Another thinks I've watched so many movies, I dreamed it up.

Did I? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

Thanks so much,
Lupita in Tucson

Alright, I saw a movie some years ago I do not remember how long time ago it was, but It's not earlier than 1980. (I think so) and there was some teenagers recording a movie in the woods but there was like mutants with like 4 fingers or something.. I do not remember much from it.. You may think it sounds like Wrong Turn or something but They Where recording a movie, as I said. Anyone knows what movie I talk about?

Trying to remember the name of a movie I saw about 2 maybe 3 years ago.

This guy and his fiance were going to find his brothers killer or he was lost in this area. I remember there being a dead family going around in camper beating people and there being people in cages.

After someone died and they were like a ghost they would say to the living person "Why didn't you save me?" and disappear.

I remember something about people being killed having an eye taken out and in order to put the souls at rest they had to burn the eyes. In the end they destroyed the main killers eye but at the end the brother and his fiance were in a motel and the killer was outside in his truck with the headlights pointing in and the fiance going "why didn't you save me?"

BookZombie 02-21-2011 02:25 AM

I am trying to remember the name of a TV series, I have a vague idea that it is called the Thing, however I have now looked at several movies and series named the Thing and none of them are the right one so I might be mistaken here.

The series is about a quiet town by the sea, suddenly they become terrorized by a giant octopus. They go out to kill the octopus and manage to get it, but then it turns out it was just a baby so his mother is coming and she is not pleased.

I would love to know the name of this so I could look it up and see if I could find a DVD of it for I would like to see it again.

Okay, I saw this movie some time ago when I still had fearnet (the good ol days.) It was late, and I was drunk, and it was foreign, but I will do my best.

There is a man and a woman living in a new house with a young child. After they move in it seems like the father is going crazy, like, Shining-style. He's convinced there is somebody else in the house and sets up a bunch of either video or audio recorders, I can't remember which. In the end (spoiler) it turns out there is a doorway to another dimension (maybe the past, as I remember it) and his doppleganger iis actually coming through and causing havoc........I believe it was Spanish, but could definitely be wrong about that. It was definitely subtitled though.

BookZombie 02-21-2011 07:03 AM

Thank you thegrouchsmom, that seams to be the one I am looking for yes. :D

I am also looking for the name of a movie. I saw it on TV a while back. It was about a young girl who lived almost a Cinderella type life with a sister who treated her like dirt while leaving the main character to take care of the house and their sickly grandmother. Now the main character come into the possession of a beautiful red cape, and not knowing the cape is evil she sews a dress from the fabric. When wearing the dress the girl changes personality, going from being a gray mouse to a party girl, but she also over time becomes cruel. I remember at one time among other things she pushes the sickly grandmother down the stairs.

My bad for starting a new thread before seeing this one.

I saw part of a movie on tv when I was 4 or 5 (so approximately 1990) before my parents saw me watching it and changed the channel. I've never been able to find the movie and it's been in the back of my mind my whole life!! Please help!

All I saw was that there was a young girl in her bedroom at night. Her stuffed animals started slowly turning their heads to look at her. [I possibly remember one being a duck.] Then for some reason her dad came in.. maybe she was yelling for him. He started beating at the canopy over her bed with something resembling a baseball bat or other blunt object because... well, I think it was made of spiderwebs or something similar. But it has been 20 years since I saw it.

Please help. It's the great mystery of my childhood

Can anyone help me indentify this movie???
 
Okay! So! I rented this 80's B-horror from a video store in Vandalia, IL several years back. Basically I want to know what this movie is so I can rent it or buy it somewhere. It started out about a story where this woman set her husband and house on fire...jump to the future and some college kids are going to the same house years later to "fix it up" and throw a party...one of the college dorks goes wandering off in this house and runs into this creeeepy ass old lady who's all burnt up and walking strangely through this hallway....then disappears into a room. Nobody makes much mention of it......And that's about all I saw of the movie......DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT MOVIE THIS COULD BE?? If anyone could assist I would be most grateful. Thank you~ :)
