Okay, so these might be a dream I had, a TV show, or a movie, so I'm not expecting a ton of answers.

1) I have vague recollections of an old-ish film (or TV show), 1970s era, but two images are stark: one is of a black bug-like creature swaddled in blankets like a baby, lots of 'o no's all around, with an eventual cut to a bright ship that looked kinda snowflake-like falling slowly, slightly tilted, behind a horizon of evergreens. Pretty sure the sequence wasn't quite that quick, I have dim memories of someone peering out a window like 'oh no it's happening again' or something, but that could be where the confabulation comes in.

2) I thought this might be Return to Oz or Through the Looking Glass, but it's not the former, and I haven't had a chance to see the latter. Mostly it's just a scene in which everything is black except what look like large, brightly colored jacks (the game) rolling in and out of frame.

Again, could just be childhood dreams I'm remembering, but the images are super vivid, and I'm not entirely convinced that 'dream' is all they are.

Sorry if this is stupidly vague.

ERASERHEAD has a swaddled creature baby and people looking out a window. I don't remember a falling ship but it's been years since I've seen it. But ERASERHEAD is black and white, so I don't know about brightly colored jacks.

Sorry, I should be clearer, 1 and 2 would be distinctly different films/shows, if they actually exist. And the bug one definitely isn't Eraserhead. It was more-- idk, kitschy 70s Outer Limits than anything else, and wasn't nearly that gnarly or surreal.

Taking a long shot here: Are you possibly recalling the really weird jester stuff from Xtro?

No, but it's close enough in film quality and lighting/imagery that it made me think it was for a moment or two.

Also :lol: how is it I've never heard of this before?
