80s Horror brother and sister


Argh!! Reading these posts are only making me think of other movies that I can't remember the names of!

God, I hope this was a movie and not a dream, lol: an older sister (blonde, ponytail, "preppie") and younger, nerdier brother are home alone. The brother maybe had a friend over and they are obsessing over watching movies and eating candy. The climax scene is in the kitchen, with either the sister's boyfriend accidentally getting killed, by her, or he's the killer all along and she kills him defending herself and her brother?

Anybody? Lol, I probably just described about fifteen different 80s soft horror movies.

Could it be "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter Is Dead"

reply

Def not. It's def a horror movie, and there's someone trying to kill the siblings, not an old lady accidentally dying. That IS a fantastic movie, though! ;)

Im not sure, but part of that sounds like it could be Pin (1988).

reply

Holy crap, it might be!... I'll have to re-watch it. The one I'm thinking of I think takes place in one night and the brother was a lot younger than in Pin, but it could just be my faulty memory.

I don't think it's Pin

Yeah, it's not

I know I've seen what you described. The other one that popped in my head was Return of the Living Dead II but that was just the character description not so much the plot.

Ugh! I saw the synopsis of Trick or Treat (1982) and thought that could be it, but when I watched it it was not. Not it, but Return of the Living Dead II is one of my faves: gotta love Suzanne Snyder!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space! :) She's why I watched it. As for the original question, were they eating candy or popcorn?

reply

All I remember is the brother was going crazy about snacks of some kind...

Don't forget her TWO seinfeld appearances!
