Man, this is real vague but, here goes. I think this was an episode of the outer limits or sliders or something. There was a world that was a suburban neighborhood, and all the houses are the same, and everyone's happy all the time. They have the exact same schedule every day, and everything is happy and perfect and exactly the same every day. Exactly the same down to every detail. Except at the end of every day they have to go in the basement. Everyone's basement is a torture chamber and everybody has a horrible demon there that cuts them apart and tortures them anally stuff, and then burns the cut up body peices in the furnace. Then the next day they're alive again, but the twisted part is they know that at the end of every day they have to go in the basement, and thats why they're so happy all day cause theyre trying to keep it off their minds. I mean, surely I couldn't be making this all up... right? I remember seeing it when I was young, and if this was a dream, thats a hell of a dream for a kid to have!

Ugh this has been driving me crazy all night because I can't find it. A movie shot in the 70s (I believe funded by or featuring the music of some fairly big musicians at the time) about people in the baroque/renaissance period traveling through time. I remember a scene from the trailer with a guy playing a piano (or harpsichord) with a large candle on top. It hasn't aged very well I don't believe. Just throw whatever ideas you have at me, I honestly have very little to go off to find this

Mystery Zombie Crappy Horror Movie Guess Time! The year was either 87-88 and the place was Belfast, Northern Ireland. There was me, around 7 or 8 watching crappy movies late at night. I don't think I was watching off my Dad's VCR but I've done lots of drugs since then. Anyway...to the movie. I didn't even see all of it but what I did occured in a cemetary or mausoleum and FYI I'm pretty sure it ain't the movie Mausoleum. There were atypical mid 80's trashy chicks. One in particular was a dishy black chick with giant earrings and those leg warmers things and she managed a horrendous Cockney accent if I remember right. All the rest of the cast were WASP Americans and pretty forgettable in an 80's way. I don't think I remember any boobs or sex scenes (yay for being raised by a single Dad) but I think I remember weed smoking and, of course, some zombies. The main antagonist was this zombie-hillbilly-liche dude that liked to lay around in his coffin. I think he made the coffin float and kill the cute Nubian princess with the 80's frizz. I'm pretty sure she wore a Vietnam War-era jacket and a smallish blue jean skirt. Anyway she got squished by the coffin or possibly eaten. I vaguely recollect her ankle giving out on her or the like. The end had the Bubba-Necromancer in his coffin chariot grab some white girl and the movie ended with the coffin shutting... or so I think. I'm 99.8% sure this wasn't an Italian, German or Spanish film but that could be a possibility. I'm mainly betting on American made around 85 or so. My Dad loved horror movies and it could be that he rented it and I found it in the VCR and popped it in. I saw most of it and all what I saw was in the graveyard. I only remember the two chicks insofar as protagonists go but there may have been more. The special effects seemed to be ok to a 7 year old in the final part of the 80s. I THINK the ending song was some cheesy 80's stock keyboard. The most I remember is the cute girl and Goober, Lord of the Undead. Cute Girl: Side Ponytail with Ultra Frizzy afro Vietnam-era jacket Big Bracelets Big Earrings jean skirt(?) over leggings Medium complexion American with horrible fake accent maybe...possibly a Newzie (I kid-I kid) I was a strange kid I know and thanks in advance.

Von_Doom posted:Mystery Zombie Crappy Horror Movie Guess Time! I could be Return of the Living Dead http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089907/ It was made in 1985, takes place in both a cemetary and mausoleum with typical mid 80's trashy chicks - one with big earring and a blue skirt, the other with leggings. I think the blue-skirted girl was trying to pull off a valley-girl accent. The legging girls ankle gives out and she is eaten by zombies.

I am afraid that this one is going to be rather difficult. I saw this very late at night on a New Orleans affiliate in the mid 70's. It is a very bad B grade Western possibly from the 60's. It might even be a "Spaghetti Western". It is set somewhere near the Texas Mexican border during the 1860's and is about a group of Confederates and French soldiers from the reign of Maximilian who are fighting off some rampaging Indians. The complete destruction of a fort with rolling smoke and ubiquitous arrow shafts sticking out of everything is the only visual that I can recall. Any help would be appreciated.

Here for the request of a friend. Please excuse the lack of information: "All i can remember is, the sun has a face and gets more and more evil, and theres a main lead male character." He reckons its a Hills Have Eyes style trashy horror from the 70s/80s. Although he also thinks its quite psychological and that it used to freak him out as a kid. Would be good if someone could help as I dont have a clue what hes on about!

This might be a hard one, but here goes. This is from either the 70's or early 80's. Crime film, sort of noir, but not in any interesting way. Think bad hair, bad clothes, bad dialogue, and altogether bad filmography. I saw it when I was a little kid. It was the first time, I think, that I saw death depicted, or maybe just as graphically as it was, so it still bugs me somehow to this day. Probably a movie, but could have also been a TV episode; saw it on TV. The only things that I have seen since that I could place as contemporaries would be things like Dirty Harry movies or TV shows like SWAT. Two scenes that stand out: some guy (a good guy, maybe a cop, but possibly a villain in a gang war type of deal) gets led into some trap that consists of a wall of nails that advances towards him to kill him. His final words are something along the lines of "naw, naw, naw." The second scene has to do with a trap, a dagger or knife loaded by a spring in an easy chair or sofa, that when set off kills (or just wounds) the guy sitting in it. Any help would be appreciated. Edit: probably saw it between 1979-1984-ish bruin fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Apr 30, 2007 |

I'm looking for a movie that would be from the 60's or 70's. It showed in Britain around then. There was a whole group of people that had been on a spaceship for generations, and they worshipped trees and had strange mechanisms. They had a plant that was on tracks that they oiled daily. In the end, they discovered they were on a spaceship, and then landed. They soon discovered that everything they had been doing was all on purpose so they could land on a planet. My dad watched it in a hotel in Britain circa 1960/1970.

Pweller posted:Was it in English/American and/or in color? It was in American English and there was no 'Duke'. I'm pretty sure my impression of the Spaghetti genre was a result of the bad production values. It began with a voice over narration that explained the political situation regarding the last days of the Confederacy and Maximilian's tenuous position as Emperor of Mexico. I seem to recall a love triangle existing between the French officer and the leader of the Confederates who may have been deserters. It is possible that the Indian attacks may have been connected to Mexican nationalist revolutionaries. I apologize for the lack of information. I was but a wee lad when I saw it.

It's a historical piece I want to say it takes place during 1700s or so (think 3 musketeers). So this monarchy/political figure roles through the city in his carriage and people are kinda ho hum, one guy isn't clapping so a gendarme hits him and the guy starts clapping.

After remembering this little clip from my early teens, I've tried to identify it, and have found nothing. I might be crazy or dreaming, but I remember seeing the last 5 minutes of this movie on tv about 14 or 15 years ago: it had two ninjas, one in yellow and one in blue (very very VERY much like Scorpion and Sub-Zero from MKI) fighting in a...vietnamese warehouse?...at the end of the fight "Scorpion" falls on a pallet of oil drums or some such and "Sub-Zero" throws a hand grenade on him. Big explosion, "Sub-Zero" meets up with a girl and the end. at the time, I was really into Mortal Kombat and I thought it was like a movie or something. But this was just after the arcade release, so it was way before the franchise TV show or movies.

Two Mules for Sister Sarah reminded me of a movie I saw once and would like to see again. Type: Western/Comedy Seen: Late 80s early 90s Premise: Fat chick ends up in small dying town, town needs money. Another fat chick is in town, think there was slight mistaken identity. One fat chick kills a guy by accidentally tightening her legs too much during either cunnilingus or just plain sex. Stuffs body in piano. The two fat chicks turn out to be long lost sisters each with half a map tattooed on their asscheeks. At some point the bad guy ties them up naked and face down on a bed where the two map halves are seen toghether. Treasure is found and bad guy is defeated. So what the hell did I watch?

This will sound pretty vague and I apologise in advance. Anyway this was something I think I saw on Nickolodeon when I was about 9 or so. It was a fantasy setting and the main hero was a young kid. At the very end of the movie he's fighting this giant floating head. It has a long white beard and I it was kind of scary to me as a kid. (the giant head might have been his father?) When he defeats it I think he's holding or looking at it's heart and it's mentioned that it's heart is either cold or hard. I saw it like 2 or 3 times as a kid then it just disappeared. Please tell me someone else saw this thing.

Two movies, both most likely from the 80s (I was about 4 at the time). The first one has a scene with a family in some sort of field being held captive by monsters. I only remember the brother (about 10?) and sister (about...6?), but their mom and dad were there too. They were in a station wagon headed somewhere. One monster grabs the little girl, who has a doll (the kind whose eyes close if you tilt it) and says "I'll take this one" in an over-the-top gruff voice. The girl turns into a "naked" doll just like the one she was holding. Either the brother wrestles free and picks her up, or the monster looks at her, but she (doll-sis) says "Goodbye" in a super-drawn out kid voice and explodes into bloody doll-chunks which look like a tiny human exploded (as opposed to hollow plastic). The second is another cheesy horror flick in which some weird amorphous alien(s) which can blend into anything white (and are referred to as killer marshmallows/killer marshmallow fluff at some point in the movie, I believe) kill a bunch of people before their weakness to fire is discovered and some folks with flamethrowers and cheap perfume+lighters, etc save the day. In one scene, a guy hops into bed next to his wife, only to have one of the things (in clever disguise on his pillow) "grow" across his face in an attempt to smother him. She burns it somehow, which is how that weakness is discovered, if I recall correctly. I recall them bubbling heavily under fire as well. P.S. Another two. Was the movie in which a man gets engulfed by another amorphous alien and sucked into a radiator pipe (or just a plain old pipe...I remember there being a rotund policeman and a few other people there when it happened) with a horrible, juicy crunching noise one of The Blob movies? I've been told that it is not, but can't find any info on such a scene through searching. I saw that when I was about 8 and know that it was in at least partial color, but I think that the alien was red and everything else was B&W. And...There was a war movie I saw when I was about 11-13 (early 90s). I think it was Vietnam. I remember two scenes clearly. -A black guy (American) wanders off/gets left behind during crazed combat) and is found dead with what appears to be the tip of his skinned, cut-off penis neatly tucked into his mouth. -A white fellow with glasses loses them during an explosion (I believe), gets tangled in a barbed-wire fence, and while he's looking for them, a pair of Vietnamese(?) soldiers come across him and casually set up some form of machine gun with a stand/bi-pod/whatever it's called...I forget) and pump him full of bullets right as his friends come looking for him. They see it happen, kill the Vietnamese soldiers just in time to watch their friend die. dentedsanity fucked around with this message at 03:55 on May 10, 2007 |

The former sounds, especially the thing about the pillow, like The Stuff. It's a goofy and fun horror movie by Q's Larry Cohen. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0090094/ The second definitely sounds like the remake of The Blob where a restaurant dishwasher is pulled face first down a sink drain. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0094761/ You can see it in this fanvid. Warning, it spoils all the awesomeness of the remake. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3jmpLA6deBc
