Can anybody identify this other scary TV movie?

Well, sillyheart1977, it took under 2 hours this time. My Superspeed - eER I mean Yahoo Answer's - is lagging. It is probably...

Wavelength {1983}
Starring Robert Carradine
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086571/

I have never seen it! Not fair! But I do remember, again, seeing the video back then.
It's not on DVD. A couple of VHS on eBay. One DVD-R, at this time, on ioffer.com.

YOUR GOOD! Thanks for the info buddy :-)

all right then superman1 - if you're still reading, I've got one for you:

I remember seeing it in the early 90's (between '92 to '94, at the latest) on either CBS or NBC. I'm pretty sure it was a three part movie about a giant squid attacking people. From what I remember, there is one scene where this old fisherman is sitting in the cabin of a fishing boat and he's looking at Playboy magazine, and then suddenly the squid attacks. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I could probably just as easily have looked this one up on Yahoo answers; but for the sake of keeping this post alive and sheer laziness I have decided to ask you.

"I'm still here agnoid!" - Angus (TBS Version)

sure it's not this?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115109/

Here's a tough one, hoping someone recognizes it. All I can really remember is that it's a 70's thriller that features a young girl in a white dress with long, straight blonde hair who never speaks (or rarely speaks, maybe was abused?) and she has a fixation on spiders, possibly black widows. I remember a scene with her in a parlor (funeral home? her own house?) glowering at some guy she didn't like. I think she uses the spiders to get revenge on people, like her father (stepfather) or some such. I remember this from Saturday afternoon TV and was always surprised how murky the print of the film was. There was still something about it that drew me in and I'd always sit through the whole thing, but damn if I can remember the name of it.

Any help?

wow just went to look up info for dark night and stumbled on this thread. glad to see its still active for the most part. sorry I cant help anyone but I do have one of my own that someone might help me with.

I remember it was on the disney channel back when in the late 80's to early 90's (back when they actually had decent programs) anyway It had to do with this kid who was a wiz with inventions and some "lake monster" that turned out to be a tractor or something. I always remember two scenes, one with the kid riding his bike on the railroad tracks with special wheel attachments so he could stay on the rail like a train and when he's diving into the lake to find out whatever it is he freaks out when he see's a face and it turns out to be this white mask or something, they had it on a few times when i was growing up.

another I cant remember much of but I believe it was on what would later become the WB had to do with a bunch of kids in a house, they played pranks on either the foster parents or something. only remember two parts from it. one where one of the pranks backfires and fries off the eyebrows of one of the girls and where one of the kids runs away and to find her (i believe it was a her) there was a song they had to sing that she would either sing back to them or something.

any help would be great, also tourist trap was mentioned in an earlier post, now THATS a creepy movie. funny story about that, i was watching it up in my room one day and the scene where one of the kids is getting piled on by the mannequins and there making really creepy moaning noises, my mother yelled at me cause she thought i was watching a porno until she saw what it was. figured you guys would find that funny.

Sorry, I've been away - looking for Krypton again.
Yes kamakazi_5033, I would agree with Rocha-2. The Beast (1996) (TV) is the only mini-series about a giant squid I know of. Based on the novel of Peter Benchley, who wrote JAWS. (Coincidentially, currently the 2-disc full length DVD is on its way to me.)
bps3013, The Yahoo Answers League is helping with your problem. {I know, takes half the fun out of it.}

doomsday_55, As I came to check for any new movie questions, and didn't realise what board I was on, when you said you came to look up info for Dark Night I thought at first you meant Batman . It's my superiority complex. And - sorry, don't do Disney, lol. I dunno the 2 movies you seek of... but perhaps... other citizens of this planet do.
Are you sure that wasn't a porno scene in Tourist Trap?

oh yea positive, unless your one of those people that pay thousands of dollars for those "realistic" girlfrends. thats ok any help from anyone would be fine, not sure if it was a disney movie or just a movie that was shown on the disney channel. just remember it being shown on the channel. the other one i dont have much more info for it. thanx anyway :)

You go, kid. Don't thank me. We're all part of the same team - Yahoo Answers.

doomsday_55, about your movie with a bunch of kids in a house that played pranks: Yahoo Answers came through again. It's
i don't know sorry

So much for my idea to start charging for answers

Alright, I love '70's '80's horror films. I grew up on them. I have pretty much found all the old horror movies I saw as a kid, but still have a couple I cannot locate. Here's one that comes to mind, but this is gonna be vague. I hope someone can help. A family keeps their demented old grandmother in the attic. She has long gray hair, and an evil voice. I kinda remember that she murders a few people. Maybe the daughters boyfriend out in a field? It seems like she is also responsible for accidents that happen around the house, which is a farm (I think). I wish I could remember more. It had to be made before the '90's. It's not Burnt Offerings. I remember seeing it on TV on a weekend afternoon. Maybe on something like Commander USA. Please help! Another film I remember is one about giant crabs terrorizing a small town. It seems like that was an older movie (before the'70's). Any ideas?

Funny, just saw a film that might fit that description.
The Curse (1987) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092809/

However, it's the mother, and the basement, but it is on a farm.
Read board comments about what happens to her here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092809/board/nest/41442039
"Than she gets violent and has to be locked in the basement."
"...she trys to kill her son and husband....she looks real gross with her slimey and blistered covered face, and hair that has turned grey.."

Haha, also maybe recently saw your giant crabs terrorizing a small town one. If it's not Attack of the Crap, er Crab Monsters (1957) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050147/ then Island Claws (1980) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080933/ has one giant crab with littlies attacking first

Thanks for your help. I'll have to check out Attack of the Crab Monsters and Island Claws. However, I don't think the first movie I'm looking for is The Curse. Sounds similar, but I've seen The Curse many times over the years and it's definitley not the movie I'm remembering. I kinda remember another scene where the father of the family tries to reason with the freaky old lady. I can't remember much more. I hope I can find it one day. I'm pretty sure it was a movie, not a TV show, and was made in the '70's or early '80's. Any other ideas?

Nobody?

Man, this is a great thread! I was all set to identify a few of them when I realized someone else already had. But this one is still unidentified, and I know it...

Speaking of older movies this one i remeber only small pieces of it. It was a tv movie and this woman moves into this huge house. It was protected by gates on the outside. The inside had a swimming pool that the top slid closed on. One person ends up dying in the swimming pool. I also remeber that the house would not let this lady leave; but i think at the end she was allowed to

Hehehe, I know, this is a great thread! :-) I am sure he will be happy to see an answer to his question if he has not found it yet, Thanks for helping out guy ;-).

Okay, so I saw this thriller/mystery type movie when I was a kid so Bare with me, as I have only one scene to offer and have tried to search for this movie for years..

Anyways, I think the film was made in the late 70's or early 80's judging by the way the film color looked and the way people were dressed. So from what i can remember, this takes place on a ranch somwhere in texas or arizona and there is this lady and her i want to say boyfriend or male friend inside this house ( alivingroom type area) arguing with an older lady and her tall odd looking daughter. Anyways, something happens and the Oddly tall daughter attacks the lady and her male friend defends her and throws the tall odd daughter out the window of the room. Well the camera pans on the daughter laying on the dirt with her shirt ripped open revealinga chest and that she is really a man. The man and the lady are shocked as the daughter-male-thingy gets up and starts at them agian.

That is as much detail as I can offer and remember, if someone knows the name of that film, by all means, spill the beans! :-)

@ sillyheart1977 - That sounds a bit like UNHINGED (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180274/), but I'm not certain that's it. HOMICIDAL also springs to mind, but that's from the '60s.

It could also be "The Legacy". A female character dies in the pool as described. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079450/

Yes, a lady does die in the pool in The Legacy and yes, Katherine Ross isn't allowed to leave the house either... but there are no gates (which play a pivotal part in This House Possessed) and, I don't wanna give much more of a spoiler, but the ending of The Legacy doesn't fit bmbowen's description. There's no question in my mind that it's This House Possessed, which really freaked me out when I was a kid (though it's laughably dated seeing it now from an adult's perspective).

Vinnie, Thanks buddy.. I am going to check out the flick, i think it might be the movie I am seeking,if not, at least I get to see a film that sounds like something I'd enjoy anyways..lol :-). I am very grateful for your help, I will keep you updated once I get a chance to find it and get my hands on it.

Sounds like THE TOUCH OF SATAN, which is the gang at MST3K riffed on at one point.

Why did I find this NOW!?

Well, if anybody ever sees this, what I'm looking for is this movie I walked in on my brother watching on Halloween afternoon in the early 80's. Im not sure if it was a TV movie or just an earlier theatrical movie on TV for HALLOWEEN.

It was about a girl whose EVIL TWIN COUSIN moves in with her family. It was in color and the twins had dark hair. I don't remember much else but i think the EVIL TWIN COUSIN was a witch. Anyone know? Im sure the two girls were teenagers and i think there were younger brothers in their family.

"The more real things get, the more like myths they become. " R.W. Fassbinder

I think the movie might be something someone listed previously, called MIDNIGHT OFFERINGS.

"The more real things get, the more like myths they become. " R.W. Fassbinder

I have been looking for a movie its from maybe the late eighties its about a young couple i think they were dating not married they go to a drive in theater and it turns out that the drive in theater was some kind of cult. it ends with the boyfriend escaping by jumping the car over the fence. to the post about the grandmother that was locked in the attic and started killing everyone that kinda sounds like the granny to me, but i am not sure

Dead End Drive-in (1986)

thx heather thats the one

Oh man, I totally know the movie you're talking about, but I can't remember the name or who it starred!

It was made-for-TV in the late 70s/early 80s, and the evil cousin was using witchcraft. She was also overtly sexy, coming across as older than she was, but she acted all sweet and innocent around adults when other people were around. She cast spells to steal the guy the good cousin liked, seduce her father, and do something bad to her mother, and just generally wrought havoc. And the whole time the good cousin kept trying to warn people and they wouldn't listen because they all thought evil cousin was so sweet and charming. I think the good cousin ultimately beat her at her own game, by casting a spell herself.

I remember that whoever played the evil cousin (and the girl who played the good cousin, too, though I don't believe it was the same girl in both roles) was someone who was somewhat popular at the time, possibly having started off as a teen model, but she's long since dropped off the radar.

This is going to make me nuts trying to remember now!

Greetings, Violet X and the other poster who were seeking the name of the 1978 Wes Craven TV movie "SUMMER OF FEAR". > NOTE: There may be another title for this film -- but the old THORN/EMI Video I have is under the "Summer of Fear" title.

Linda Blair stars and Lee Purcell plays the evil older (and seductive) cousin who dabbles in witchcraft. Also stars Jeremy Slate, Carol Lawrence and Macdonald Carey.

I think this tele-film has since been released on DVD.

Hope this helps.

I missed seeing your reply until just now, but the reason I came back was because I finally found the name of the movie and came back to post it. LOL

You're absolutely right, except the original U.S. TV title was "Stranger In Our House." Considering I hadn't seen it in nearly 20 years, I managed to remember a lot of the details remarkably well — except for the name.

I really miss the days when local stations aired movies like this all night long.
