Name that film? Because I sure can't

I´ve been trying to figure out what a certain film was called that I saw as when I was kid (in the 80´s), but for the life of me I can´t remember what it was.

This is what I remember:

1. It was a horror film with a bunch of teenagers stuck in a house.
2. The main character was a girl and she was the only one who survived
3. There was a scene with somebody going down a slide that had been closed off with a brick wall. Needless to say, the ride ended in a pool of blood.
4. At the end the main character is led out by the police in a wheelchair and she has this blank stare.

I just really remember finding the scene with the slide quite horrific as a kid.

Any ideas? Hope so :)

Was it a slasher film or zombies?

[–] efk 18 years ago

Just your average teenage killing slasher. No monsters, no zombies... and it´s driving me mad that I can´t remember what it was called.

Any ideas?

If it took place on an island, then maybe it's called Humongous.

If it takes place at a camp with tons and tons of teens and kids, then maybe it's called The Burning.

REPLACE "Bosworth's ultra lame Lois Lane" w/ Erica Durance, Charisma Carpenter or Sophia Bush!

Not an island and not camp.

I know I´m being vague. But it was probably made in the mid 80´s. There were maybe five or six teenagers in this house, being killed off by someone, or maybe by the house itself.

I´ll probably never find out.

Thanx though.

I think it may be called *The House*
I watched a ton of b-horror in the early 80's when i was a little girl and it seems like i have seen this. of course it sounds like ALL the horror movies from that time! LOL

Ask on the *horror* board. those people are smart and they know everything.

What year was this Movie made? 80's? Was this Direct-to-Video, Home Video or Theatrical?

[–] opheliamuffet 18 years ago

That's possibly an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents called "Twisted Sisters".

I haven't seen it in nearly 20 years, but that sounds like it.

The movie “The House” did have a girl in a wheelchair, I have not been able to find it on imdb, but from what I remember it wasn’t a bunch of teenagers it was a family, I also done remember any slide the scenes I do remember was one of a dog lamp become a real dog and a pizza becoming a monster. Unless I am thinking of a different horror film

spencerjfish, are you thinking of House 3? It had a girl in a wheelchair.

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.

[–] radioactive_ape2001 17 years ago

Actually it was House 4 with the girl in a wheelchair...but it isn't that.

[–] smerd_70 17 years ago

Whoops, that's right. House 3 was The Horror Show- thanks radioactive_ape2001.

This is what I remember:

1. It was a horror film with a bunch of teenagers stuck in a house.
answer - dead dudes in the house aka house on tombstone hill from troma video

2. The main character was a girl and she was the only one who survived
answer - too many horror films with 1 female who survives gotta be more pacific in terms
3. There was a scene with somebody going down a slide that had been closed off with a brick wall. Needless to say, the ride ended in a pool of blood.
answer - don;t know but the horror movie the pool has a nyce slide death scene with a machete
4. At the end the main character is led out by the police in a wheelchair and she has this blank stare.
answer - halloween 2

I am so happy I saw this post because I've been trying to find the same movie. I didn't remember quite as much as you did, but I remembered someone going down a slide and hitting a brick wall. I thought it was an Alfred Hitchcock episode though. If you EVER figure out what film this is please email me.. I have to know.
