Do You Need Help With the Title of a Horror Movie/Book/TV Series? Bring it here!
 

Horror Film Query - what late 70s/early 80s horror film is the following statement referring to ?

"One of the guys climbs through the window only to have it slam down and chop him in half. Class moment. Also the head in microwave on full power. Excellent."

It's been bugging me for years!!

Please put my mind at rest!! Thanks.

tas

Microwave Massacre (1983)

..I demand to get an answer if its right :p

Doubt if he answers you, haha.

Evil Laugh (Dominick Brascia / 1988 USA)

It was called Superstition in the UK. Saw it well over 20 years ago.

Dude, that was a Dire Straits video!

...my god, I suck.

Evil Laugh and Superstition are different films.

Evil Laugh also has a head-in-the-microwave scene, but the one in question along with the window-decap is Superstition (James Roberson / 1981 USA), which is also known as The Witch.

The film was nearly a 'video nasty' casualty in the UK, but after initial withdrawal under the VRA was re-submitted uncut a few years later.

Do You Need Help With The Title of a Horror Movie, Book or TV Series? Bring it here!
 

...and don't clutter the Modern Horror section with too many short threads.

Saw a movie long ago whose title you don't remember now?

Had a peek of it and want the name of the flick?

Ask your queries here henceforth, alongwith your descriptions, and you shall be answered.

Thaaaank you! haha 'bout time.

This will never work unless you make it a sticky, V.

this was tried before

see if you can find the thread ;)

More than once. If it gets stickied it might work, though. Not that anyone bothers to read them:D

It might. Let's give it a try.

Okay, Austin or Z, please make this a Sticky. And broom in all the "Need Title of Movie" threads of the past 7-odd days into this one, for starters.

Thank you. :)

yep,



didn't work then and don't see how it will now

People usually tend to check the top threads in a section first. Hence the Stickies get more Views.

Maybe the other ones werent made Stickies...let's give this one a shot. If it wont work, we can always un-Sticky it.

I think the thread very fast will become a huge mess of pages and pages of questions, suggestions and answers.

Don't forget all the joke answers!

being a sticky isn't the issue,



but whatever floats your boat

Right. ;)


.......

A bit of maintenance touch will help immensely too. Like merging any newer threads asking for a movie into this one.

I don't think anyone comes in here and straightaway hits upon the New Thread button, before checking this Section for a similar thread first.

Anyway, thanks Z. Here goes nothing...

I don't think it a bad idea.


what can it hurt.

Oh yeah. What's that one movie that we always answer these threads with...






Ghoulies. I'm pretty sure it was Ghoulies.

Caveman response? Ugh, FIRE BAD!

Lord knows your old enough to use that lingo:p

For old times' sake...

The Gate.

:D

when I'm at work, I don't tend to check my post....gotta be quick and stealthy at times.

can someone set up a program to automatically reject posts with "the Gate" in them ?


Yentle is ok though.

I have been waiting for this thread for a while:D Thanks to V.

Anyway, there was a horror film that I saw a very long time ago on television but I'm not sure whether it was made for TV movie or not. As far I remember it was about a family attacked by some killer plants (more like a giant flower type plant having snake like filament!) on their garden.

Can anyone tell me the title of the movie?:o

old movie ? sounds like Day of the Triffids

I have no idea...I need to check that out.

I don't think so, probably it's from late 70's or 80's and surely not a black n white movie.

Let's give this a try.

I am thinking late 70s to mid 80s film - I am pretty sure it was with George C. Scott (although I could be mistaken), who is a crook and under disguise with a fake eye-patch over one eye. He takes up a job as caretaker in a family, which has a kid whom he is trying to kidnap, or kill.

Not so much horror, as suspense/drama. Can anyone take a stab at this one?

hah - thats Firestarter

I haven't given that one a watch yet. Caught bits and pieces of it on late night TV once. Any good?

i like it - i like the entire cast and love the Tangerine Dream score ..

considering the source (i dont like Stephen King) it's a fun little movie.

(bad effects though)

There was a BBC mini Series of Day of the Triifids made in 1981...

Anyone know the title of this movie?
 

I saw this movie when I was a child, and I cannot recall the name of the movie, nor too much about it. All I can recall are a few scenes, that I may be embellishing slightly since I saw this movie when I was about 6 years old? Maybe?

Does any of this sound like a movie you know?:

I remember that a son lived with his mother, who appeared to be quite older, perhaps in her late 60s or even older (though, this old age may be attributed to the fact that I was young when I saw this movie). His mother goes on a date with this unknown gentlemen, when the son witnesses his mother and this man eating someone in a back alley. The man, and now his mother, had red eyes and pointed teeth. I also remember that the son would chop up the bodies that his mother ate (she was infect with this 'disease' by the gentlemen) and put them in black garbage bags to dispose of. I remember the ending involved a fire in the house, and the mother was on the floor with her back against the wall, telling her son to leave the house and let her burn because she was a monster.

Does this description ring any bells? I've been trying to discover the name of this movie for quite a few years now, and I'm getting quite desperate as of late to figure it out. Any thoughts are appreciated.

i cant wait to find out , that sounded crazy.

haha, yeah. my thoughts exactly.
i hope urge or newb or _v_ or zwoti come to the rescue on this one.
i'd certainly like to find out.

not me - doesnt sound familiar at all

I got nothing.

It would help if peeps could kinda give a rough idea of what year [ saying I was 6 years old doesn't help....we do not know how old you are ] and what country the movie is from.
