Help naming a movie?
 

New member here. I'm trying to think of this one movie, and I can't remember the name. I think it was made in the 80's but I'm not sure. I just remember that there was a scene with a guy burying what I think was a clown/old-grandma-like body of a monster in his backyard, and another scene where I think the guy's son is pulled into a big dark void behind a mirror. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

THE GATE - definitely

Hmmmm. I looked that up on IMDB and I don't think that's it. Though that is now another movie I'm gonna have to add to the list before the 31st lol. The one I'm thinking of I think involves an adult guy, who I think is a writer, and his son who move into a house. There is some sort of monster/ghost who appears like a monster-fied version of a old-lady/grandma. I think there was a part where they guy calls a friend over because he thinks he has the monster trapped in a closet or something. He ends up "killing" the monster and buries it in his backyard. And like I said, in my OP, I think there was a scene where his son gets pulled into a pitch black void behind the bathroom mirror and the dad has to go after him.

It really sounds like an episode of Tales From the Darkside or one of those types of tv shows,but I can't quite place it....

maybe House?

House. That's it. Outstanding work Zero. Many thanks.
