Finding the Title of an Old Horror Movie

August 22, 2005

HorrorI hope someone can help me with the title of a horror movie I saw years ago. I'm not sure if it was a movie or an episode of a series, but it was in black and white and was made in either the late 60s or early 70s (I'm giving away my age here!).

Anyway, here is what I can remember of the plot: A little girl has a doll. She and the doll at times trade places, meaning the girl sometimes becomes a toy while the doll becomes a human. One time the girl's mother comes into her room and sees her daughter as a doll in a box waving to her and the doll as a human. The mother screams in terror.

If any of you can tell me the title of this show, I would greatly appreciate it. I have been thinking of this show for quite a few years now and it drives me crazy. Thanks to all of you for your help.

I, too, remember that episode of The Twilight Zone!! If I recall correctly, the doll was a gift from the little girl's mother's father who had been visiting in Haiti, or where ever voodoo is practiced.

They traded places several times, but at the end the mother scared them while the little girl was the doll, and the doll ran away - that always stuck w/me! I never wanted a life-size doll after that!!!

The main character in the episode "After Hours" was an adult woman. I'm pretty sure the one we're looking for is "Living Doll". The doll's name was Talky Tina. -- Believe it or not, it also starred Telly Savalas!

He came home and brought her a black life size doll named nooma.the girl kept telling her aunt that nooma was going to take her where the woodbine twine and never come back.the aunt didn't believe her at first until one day she heard the little girl playing with someone else .she knew she heard another childs voice but it was only the little and the doll in the room she locked the doll in the foyer and the doll got out somehow.Nooma came alive and the little girl turned into the doll.and went to the woodbine twine.I hope this is the movie your looking for unfortunately it's not on the market for sale.

There is an old movie, I can't remember if I watched it in the late 80's or early 90's. But it started out I guess in some kind of asylum? Not really 100% sure what it was. But this couple were sneaking around the place, they freaked and left, and this either a man or deep voiced female went around killing. They always had these cheesy one liners saying "No" before everything. Their first kill was "No TV!" and slit the sleeping woman's throat.

It became a series of cat and mouse with this couple running all around. It finally ended with them sitting in an ambulance and asking the driver to go quickly, and the crazy person turned and said "No Problem!" leaving the couple to scream as the ambulance drove off with them screaming in the background.

Does anyone know what this movie is? I've always wanted to watch it again, I just never knew its name, and all my searches picked up nothing I remember.

Ok, it was not easy, but I found your old horror movie.

Happy Hell Night (1992) starring Nick Gregory and Darren McGavin

Synopsis:

"25 years ago at Winfield College, psycho-priest Zachary Malius murdered seven frat boys and was put away in the local asylum. Now, however, the same fraternity stages a prank from which Malius is inadvertently set free and returns to the house to repeat his crime..."

The highlight of the movie is when the killer has killed someone he will immediately say "No" and then something pretty lame (e.g. "No TV", "No parking").

There is an old sci fi or horror movie where a farmer who has been in an accident was given a new metal skull to replace his damaged one. I remember it from my childhood, so it could be anywhere from the late 60s (I'm a '74 vintage model!) all the way into the early 80s.

I recall from the movie that they tried to perform the same procedure on another patient and he didn't make it. The ending seemed to show the farmer digging in the field while someone was talking or interviewing him, and the credits had the metal head as the main background image. I hope someone remembers this film. It's been driving me up the wall trying to remember it!

"Who?" with Elliott Gould? I think the alternate title was "Roboman".

The film has a scene in it that is filmed at night and all I remember is the people or creatures in silhouette throwing people in a open pit that I presume is the opening to hell! I know it's vague, but it's been in my head for 40 years now.

I do not watch this kind of film but my son does and he also thinks it might be "The Pit" as most of the movie was based around a pit of some sort but he does not think the pit was actually "hell" as we might think of hell but just different kinds of hell on earth; for the people involved.

I'm looking for the title of an old (possibly short) horror from the 1970s or maybe early 80s. An impotent husband ends up killing his wife and her lover by dropping a chandelier on them both.

He was jealous because, I think through a keyhole, he saw a woman seducing her. I think his wife was in her wedding dress, so probably happened on the wedding day.

Thank you for this, Ana. Very helpful. Actually, I got an answer from another forum - not sure if they'll let me name it here? If you're interested, the name of the film is 'Bluebeard' with Richard Burton.

So not quite the horror that I'd remembered.

It was maybe an old 70s movie, possibly an English film with the type of house and car, idk. It aired on TV at night and was either after M.A.S.H or 10pm local news. All I remember was some dude driving up to an old house then walking in. Then I remember it got dark and some kind of fog and lightning came rolling in inside the house.

Then what looked to be a skinny old dead woman wearing some type of gown and veil over her head was at the top of the stairs just standing there or possibly floating with the lightning and fog. It aired in the early 80s on either CBS or NBC, around the same time frame that Madame's Place was a thing.

The movie starts with a hand coming out of a vent on the wall and dragging a crib to the wall but the hand ends up grabbing the mom and pulling her through the vent. There ends up being a bunch of creatures under the building they have to survive. Guessing 80s-early 90s.

Ok, so I was about 6 or 7 when I watched my first horror movie but for the life of me I can't find it but I only remember 3 main scene and kind of the plot.

1: First off I know the movie is about these monsters that can only come out in the dark.

2: One scene I remember is of a woman who is trying to grave rob this other woman of this fancy necklace but there is some sort of monster there that drags her away through some underground tunnel.

3: another scene is of a man on some freight boat containing tin barrels. He opens them to check the contents and suddenly as he opens one, something flies out and into the ocean.

4: another scene had a woman climbing into bed but there is something underneath her covers unbeknownst to her.

I know this is vague but it's been eating away at me forever. If anyone can solve this, I would be forever grateful. I saw it sometime in the late 90s, early 2000s.

What is the horror movie where a group of young filmmakers stay in a house possessed by a demon? The demon places toys in suggestive sexual positions (the filmmaker in the group is accused of that), one guy cheats on his girlfriend with another member of the group (takes off her glasses when she's reading a book in bed and kisses her) and the demon appears at the end.

I want to say it stared Linda Cardinelli (Scooby Doo) and Roy Schneider or Ron Silver, but not sure. For a "B" horror movie it was eerie and surprisingly the acting was good.

I looked through Linda Cardellini filmography on IMDB and didn't find any movie from that time period that seemed to be right. Same with Roy Scheider and Ron Silver, although you may want to look yourself and see if any of the titles ring a bell.

The only movie I could find that sounded like the plot was Scared 2002. It has an alternate title of Cut Throat. I couldn't find very much information about at all. But maybe it is the one.

Hopefully, someone will remember this movie and be able to help more.

The movie is from the 80s, maybe early 90s. Starts in almost like a castle. There's a deformed creature that may be the owner's child. They have a barbed whip they use for punishment.

The creature escapes and starts killing everyone. I believe it ends with the creature being knocked off the roof of the castle type wall.

There was a movie in the 80's that was about monsters, or mutants in the jungle. I don't remember the full plot, but the ending was that the helicopter came to save the last survivors, and as they were flying away. They thought they were safe, but a monster popped out of the back of the helicopter, from behind a curtain.

This ending was even spoofed on an episode of the Simpsons about Tomacco, when Homer had a farm and genetically spliced tomatoes and tobacco, and the animals went nuts, at at the end a sheep popped out of the back of the helicopter as the execs were trying to escape.

There was a movie about 2 priests saving a young boy from a demon. I remember a church scene where they have him draped in a silk cloth to protect him. I thought Edward Albert was one of the priests but I have looked and looked and can't seem to find it.

It's possibly a made for TV movie but it was good and I'd like to see it again.
