I found it!
After months of this movie playing in my mind (yes, I too saw it when I was 8yrs old and have had it in my mind ever since) I googled hundreds of different names, finally finding this site of kindred folks who were all terrified of the same movie. Hilarious! Anyway, www.myhouseoffilms.net sells a copy of it as well as many other cult classics and hard to find made for tv movies. I ordered it last Thursday and got it on Saturday, around $20, the owner of the website is great, keeps in contact with you until you receive your purchase. I laughed through most of it because I remembered most of it, the theme song is still strange, the pizza cutter scene was still crazy, Mary in the asylum was sad (that little girl played a great multiple personality in that scene), and I'm sorry that ending with Jennifer's ghost appearing at the foot of the mother's bed was still freaky, something with the lighting made that little girl Jennifer's eyes dance in a strange way and what a strange smile she had, she was a good little actress, I can see why it scared me way back when!
