2. An 80's tv series. I think it is American, but it may be British. It's about a guy that is able to morph into a panther and maybe an owl, I'm not sure. I can't remember if he was a good or bad guy.

Ok, here's one. I only remember a bit of one scene. It was some kind of get together amongst a bunch of adults at a house. The kid that lives in the house got all the adults' attention because he wanted to show them a magic trick with his friend. He has his friend get into a box or something, and he makes him disappear. The adults are impressed, but so is the kid because he doesn't know where his friend went. Turned out, somehow he actually teleported him or made him disappear or something. And eventually the adults get angry because the kid can't tell them where his friend is and the friend's parents get worried and the kid freaks out.

Not the best description, but it's been bugging me for awhile. Anyone have any ideas?

Gardener eventually manipulates Bobbi into allowing him into the ship, activates it and launches it into space, resulting in the deaths of all of the changed townspeople (and himself) but preventing the possibly disastrous consequences of the ship's influence spreading to the outside world.

Speaking of school movies, there was this one where I saw the end of it, basically there's hero guy and a chick (I would say Shannon Doherty) and psycho guy. All of them are really young. So hero guy is carrying a big rock and there's a pool of some substance on the floor. Hero guy threatens to throw the rock at psycho's feet and then when he does, both he and girl dive to the floor. Psycho guy laughs it off and goes "That wasn't (such and such substance), IT WAS JUST A ROCK!"

Anyway hero guy finds himself in a compromising situation in a metal/wood shop type place and the girl (who psycho seems to have a thing for) is implying she'll let him have her before he kills her and pretends she's gonna unbutton her shirt. She tells him to close his eyes (I said he was psycho not smart), and when he does she takes a metal object (like a hammer or something) and embeds it into his head. He falls back onto a lathe type thing and there's blood everywhere. As they leave she apologizes to this old janitor for the mess and he lecherously replies "anything for you missy" or something. So later hero guy and girl are driving along the road when a guy rolls down the hillside and it turns out to be her father. I assume psycho guy attacked him and left him for dead but I can't say as I only watched the end

This one has been bothering me for years.It was a horror movie from the late 70's early 80's. I think it took place in England in a huge manor house with a turret. A man and his wife move in and the husband is an artist who takes over the turret room as his studio. It's haunted by a female ghost/demon who seduces the man. The clearest visual I can remember is a glass enclosed pool or flooded greenhouse with a huge tree that has fallen in the middle. I think the final scene takes place there with a near drowning.

drat my video store for throwing out the majority of the horror VHS section.

Here's one that I have described numerous times in threads like this to no avail;

It's about a woman.

She kills a guy at some point with the stem of a wine glass in the eye.

At some point in the movie I remember her being in the middle of nowhere (maybe)? and wandering into a house and finding a corpse in the bath tub.

At the end of the movie, she's standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump, but changes her mind. While turning around to walk away, she loses her footing and falls.



Sorry about the vague description, but I saw this movie around 10 years ago or more. I'd love to know the title to give it another watch.

What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.
I can't tell if this was a fever dream or not, I saw it sometime in the mid-to-late 80s... A guy and a girl go nuts and kill everyone in a shopping mall. There were no zombies, I remember news footage from outside of the mall. That's really all I remember. At one point I thought it might have been Wisdom but it wasn't.

Aside from that, please stop calling everything with roller skates in it Prayer for the Rollerboys. That's like calling every movie with a flight scene Top Gun.

That's "Cutting Class" featuring a young Brad Pitt.

Edit: In that scene the hero was trying to throw a lump of potassium or sodium onto a puddle of water on the floor and burn up the bad guy, but it turns out it was just a rock.

Here's one I saw sometime around 1997-99 on TV on HBO/Showtime or one of those movie channels. It's a horror/thriller type movie.

A woman moves into an apartment complex and eventually finds out that people who don't follow the 'rules' of their cult-like system get killed off. It ends up being what happened to the previous tenant.

At one point in the movie, we find out that the apartment below hers has a map of her apartment on its ceiling.

There's a scene where she wakes up and rats are crawling all over her apartment. She calls in an exterminator who tells her that he sees no signs of infestation, and tells her that her neighbors probably hate her.

Near the end, when the "Bad Guy" is revealed, he says something like, "Welcome to the Portcullis."

He locks her in a bathroom where there's a corpse with maggots crawling all over it.

Also, I think I recall a scene where she's in a room and it's filled with packing peanuts or styrofoam stuff.


And this one is from awhile ago, but I'm pretty sure this is "The 4th Floor."

Movie Type:Kids' Sci-Fi

What I remember: 3 (I think) kids figure out a computer program that creates an airtight, invincible bubble that they control. They make a hodge-podge space vehicle with an oxygen supply, encapsulate it in a bubble, and fly out to a spaceship. Hilarity and weirdness ensue. The nerdy kid starts making out with a female alien. It turns out that the aliens are essentially kids taking dad's spaceship out for a joyride. For some reason, I think one of the green male aliens had additional hands on his head.

I'm guessing late 80s for production, because I remember seeing this as a Cub Scout at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa.

I saw this one movie years back, and I don't remember if it was good or not actually, but I just can't seem to verify it even existing. The most about the plot I can remember is some guy works the night shift at a gas station and ends up meeting this guy who takes him clubbing and to some really sketchy clubs. In the end, all goes bad and he tries to shoot the guy, who turns out to be the personification of Satan. All through this, the main guy's girlfriend is begging him to stop living this new nightlife.

Just from what I vaguely remember, it may have been some cheap HBO b-movie, but I'd really like to confirm what it was. Any ideas?

All right, this one has been bugging me for years and I don't really expect an answer, but here goes:

I saw this movie(?) in the mid '80s. The scene I recall was set on a train being pulled by an old steam engine through what was possibly a jungle or forest; I got the distinct impression this was in South or Central America somewhere. There was a young girl on this train who, although she was allowed in the engine with the conductor, was evidently bored or something and presses a button that causes the front wheels of the engine to derail. Her excuse was something to the effect of "I just wanted to play".

Any ideas?

I would be forever grateful for this one.

EDIT: I viewed this on television, I believe. Several years ago. I'm a senior in college now, and this was watched in high school at the latest, and possibly when I was in middle school.

A middle-aged mom and a younger girl, maybe her daughter, are driving. The woman is a non-descript mom, and the younger girl is a pudgy, kind of punker looking girl. They are driving and getting along and joking, but the mom hits an animal in the road, I think. She stops the car to get out. When she goes back, the young girl is in the driver's seat and the door is locked. The mom wants to get in, but the young girl won't open the door, taunts her a bit, then drives off. The woman walks to a police station to explain what happens, then is inexplicably thrown into a jail cell and raped by a police officer. A man in the next cell reaches through the bars, knocks the cop out, then takes his keys and releases himself, taking the woman as his hostage. They meet up with another woman who asks the mom-type "So are you his new girl?" to which she breaks down and starts crying. I stopped it there because I couldn't make head nor tails of the goddamn thing.

They "remake" her bedroom in a large hall surrounded by a plastic box like cage in order to trap the Entity. I'd say that's close, but it's the sort of thing that several movies might have something similar as a conclusion. Can't say for sure.

Here's some screenshots

Again, the ending you mention sounds right (and I can't find a screenshots of the finale) but it's the sort of thing they might use in another poltergeist movie.
