Yes! The first one is Poltergeist 2.

But alas, no, the other scene isn't from The Gate!

Just watched Poltergeist 2. Not as good as the first one, but definitely memorable. That minister was the creepiest character I've seen in anything in a long time. And the whole sequence after Craig T. Nelson swallows the possessed worm and gives birth to the creature through his mouth! Ingeniously grotesques imagery!

I just watched The Gate as well, and it's an odd little movie. A revealing sample of 80s horror. Super Freudian. One of just a handful of horror movies that I can think of that has a kid protagonist. Thanks for directing me to it, but I still have to figure out the source of that one scene! I'm thinking it's from a horror movie from the '90s;something lesser known, maybe a sequel.

And there's ANOTHER scene, or rather image, from a movie that's been in my head for the longest time. Actually, it's so misty and far off in my memory that I can't remember if it's from a movie I saw, a TV show, or a dream I had. It's another movie with a kid protagonist, and it involves the ability to enter into paintings, or maybe one particular painting. There's the risk of getting lost in the paintings somehow. I remember you could tell that one character had gone into a painting because footsteps appeared in the landscape.

Help me out, fellas.:confused:
