if anyone could help me out with this i'd appreciate it.

I'm trying to find the names of two Horror Movies or T.v shows episodes- the first one is that there's a sad little girl in a painting and everytime time you look at it /or every year or something the girl has moved to a different part of the picture and in the end someone saves the day and she's happy!- The 2nd one is a scene where there's a female runner who gets killed by the finishing line tape (she might get decapitated but i'm not sure.) and then in a later scene she's a ghost sat at a breakfast table and she takes a sip of coffee then when she puts the mug down it's got like guts or something hanging over the side of it?

I thought the second one might have been one of the Nightmare on elm st films but i recently checked all of them and it's nowhere to be seen............
could it be one of the Freddy's nightmares series?

Hi, I'm sorry I cannot be of more help at this moment but the painting scenario rings a guaranteed bell, as in I have definitely seen this movie or show and it scared the poo out of me. I now need to know what it was also. Very scary thought to me some reason..Freaky lil girl!

[–] MooVeeNator 20 years ago

just had a quick thought. there's a movie that takes place in a castle. the characters face this weirdo octopus at some point and people or someone becomes a paper doll type thing. it's hard to remember exactly what it is. it is possible that this isn't the movie with the painting but it might be. if not, does anyone know which movie i'm referring to. castle, weird octopus in the castle..cmon, cant be many movies that do that. paper doll. o c ya

Alot of people have told me that it was The WITCHES w/ Angelica Houston- and i'm pretty satisfied that it's correct, i'm just waiting to get my copy back so i can check.

I'm going to have to say NAY.. i still can't think of what it is but the witches is not it. I watched that movie like 15 times and its not really scary at all except for the part with the soup and Rowan Atkinson (even tho he's just funny).

Ah, yes, you're referring to High Spirits. It stars Steve Guttenberg, Peter O'Toole, Daryl Hannah, and Beverly D'angelo. I've always loved that movie. In it, Peter O'Toole owns a castle that's been in his family for centuries, and needs to come up with a way to save it, so he stages a haunting, only to find out that the castle really is haunted. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095304/ Here's the link to it, if you want to check it out.

Then you HAVE been plotting against me! he yelled

I can't prove it but I know what this person is talking about and it's not Night Gallery. It's in color first off so there. Its like a sad girl in a barn or house window. pretty picture but she keeps moving and getting closer and scarier until the end when the day is saved and so is the girl by doin so. I wish i could stop thinking about this. C'mon people...what movie has a castle, big octopus splashing water but its paper cutout basically and everyone it holds onto turns into a paper doll. Why doesnt anyone ever help.

[–] DiaBolical_DiBiase 19 years ago

That's right she is in the window of a house...I forgot about that.

Wasn't "Night Gallery" in color?

That was about a nephew who offed his uncle for his wealth. The nephew sees his uncle rising from the dead to exact his revenge in stages through the painting. No creepy little girl involved here, just one angry murder victim.

This is from Witches, starring Angelica Houston. The little girl gets kidnapped by a Witch and she traps her soul into the painting. She moves around in the picture, and she also ages, until she eventually disappears.
