Slasherfan: Dec 2, 2003; IS IT WRONG THAT I ONCE WROTE A HORROR STORY ABOUT THE BUDDIES? YOU KNOW, THE TALKING PUPPIES?

I remember seeing something years and years ago about a group of students who kidnap their teacher and put him on trial for being an unfair teacher, if I remember correctly the teacher ends up hanging himself.

This one's been bugging me for years.

I saw it in the early 90's on HBO or Showtime. It was a cheesy horror flick with a bunch of kids in a mansion being killed off one by one. I distinctly remember two scenes but the rest of the movie is a blur.

In the first scene I remember, there's a guy and a girl going at it in an open coffin. The girl, if I remember correctly, turns into some kind of monster and kills the guy. The other scene is the very end of the movie. Only a black guy and some chick make it out of the mansion alive, but they're being chased by all the monsters. There's a fence around the house that the black guy jumps over and when he reaches down to grab the girl's hand the monsters start to pull her away. He grabs her hand and pulls her up, and I distinctly remember seeing her wrist pop like her hand was being pulled off. The movie ends with the two of them walking away from the mansion.

Probably not the best explanation I could give but man, this has been haunting me for a long time.

Sounds very much like Night Of The Demons

Good luck to whoever attempts this one, I don't have too many clues as to what it is.

I saw this movie possibly 2 summers ago on Sci-Fi channel at 4 AM. Although I saw it on Sci-Fi, I do not believe it was a Sci-Fi made movie. The movie seemed much like Bruce Campbell movies, although he was not in it (read: over-the-top, blatant satirism, comedic sci-fi). All I can remember is that the main character time travelled and he fought aliens. If I remember correctly he worked for the government as well. In addition to this, I believe the movie may have been a sequel. Also, I believe that the movie's title was fairly long (at least 4 or 5 words), if that helps at all.

Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about, because I sure don't.

Also that time travilling one sounds a bit like Waxwork 2: Lost In Time

Zach Galligan looks a little like Bruce Campbell.

A Time to Kill

I have one, it's actually an Amityville Horror knock-off. A married couple and their son buy or rent an old fixer up house and slowly start to turn into the people that used to live there (or something similar along those lines). The father becomes increasingly more scary. One memorial scene; he's swimming with his son (there's certainly something wrong or evil with the pool) and he starts to throw him around playfully at first then grows more and more violent and would of drowned him if the mother didn't interrupt. The guy ends up getting thrown out of the top story window at the end.

I'm pretty sure that one is Burnt Offerings with Oliver Reed and Karen Black.

Found a really weird one from a friend who can't remember the title, made me curious too.

The description I got was that a guy kills a bunch of people and takes a woman to the cellar on her birthday to find all the dead people sat around the table wearing party hats. Apparently there is also a doberman that gets a drill through its head. That's all I know. Sounds pretty memorable but have had no luck finding it.

I saw it under the title Madhouse, according to IMDB it's called There Was A Little Girl.

I think it's mostly known as Madhouse though.

I saw this movie on DVD in somewhere around 1999-2002. It had a burly white man as the main character, and he was digging up his front yard for some reason. I think it ended in a church with demons or something. I'm not sure if it's the same film, but the guy found his wife incased in plastic at some point.

This kind of sounds like Stir Of Echos which stars Kevon Bacon who starts reciving messages from a ghost.
He's digging up his front yard trying to find her body. The body in plastic isn't his wife, it's the girl who was murdered in the house he now lives in The Church with demons doesn't come into play at all so it was maybe another movie, End Of Days possibly?

It was a horror movie, involving a family that had 2 daughters. The mother was murdered in their house, and it was eventually discovered the daughter killed her with a stone mask.

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!

This one might be rough since I really remember jack poo poo, but i'll give it a go anyways.

It's a thriller or maybe a murder mystery type movie that came out somewhere in the early to mid 90's. The only part I really remember was the ending. It had one of those surprise twist endings where the bad guy is finally revealed. Turns out that one of the main characters who you thought was a good guy ends up being the badguy/killer/traitor or whatever. I'm also pretty positive he was black, possibly Morgan Freeman or Laurence Fishburne although I guess it could have been anyone. I think the main protagonist might have been female but I could be wrong there too.

Oh yeah the one part I do remember is that this final scene with the big reveal takes place at night in a swamp. Probably New Orleans although I guess it could be Florida too.

Sounds like that piece of poo poo Twisted but that came out in 2004.

I hope this hasn't been asked, but a long time ago, I remember seeing this movie on the Sci-Fi channel. I don't remember much about it, except the bad guys were bugs, I think they were yellowish roaches. The way the bugs attacked people was by going inside them or something. I remember one scene, this farmer guy just started saying something about his stomach itching horribly or something like that. He tears off his shirt, and it shows the bugs crawling around under his skin. I don't remember how he died, but I think it had something to do with the roaches coming out of his mouth or something like that. I also remember the end scene of the movie, where it shows a roach crawling out of a floating piece of wood, and the wood is predictably floating towards a big city. It's been buzzing around my head lately and I'd really like to know what it is, so I can see it again.

Sounds a little like Ticks (aka Infested) starring a pre fame Seth Green.

Movie 2 - Really really crappy C or D movie. I rented it a long time ago. It was about a nerd (who looked like a normal stocky business man with black-rimmed glasses with tape on the nose) that was constantly pestered about being a nerd by the "dick" in the office, and the hot chicks, including one that he had a crush on. He eventually snapped and goes around the office killing his co-workers. Also, there's a memorable scene where the "dick" character goes up to one of the hot secretaries and puts his foot on her desk (think Captain Morgan pose) and says in the most unintentionally cheesy way "man, (secretary's name) my dick itches." Then he procedes to scratch his ankle, implying his dick is that long.

Alright, this one is kind of infamous as my family watched part of it about 12 years ago in a lovely hotel, and it was too bad to turn off. Here are the details I remember:

lovely rear end lame character with a glass sword and a motor scooter helmet with a non threatening backwards fin on top.

A chase scene on dirtbikes with what looked like cardboard prop additions to them to be "futuristic" going through what looked like a concrete overpass that was I think used as a "base" because one end looks bunker-ish, also lots of gas fireballs coming from said empty concrete shaft with no flammable materials.

lovely lovely glass sword fight scene that ends up cutting off the hands of someone I think.

"I must go to TRITON!" said in the dumbest voice I can imagine. It was pronounced as a retard would. Triton I think was a lovely painted backdrop of a glass city which on the inside looked like a lovely mariot hotel in the midwest.

This has been bugging me for years because it is so bad, I'd say it is somewhere between Manos: The Hands of Fate and Space Mutiny in quality.

This founds fimilure, especally the "I must go to Triton" line, I can't put my finger on it.

I saw a movie on the space channel a couple of years ago about a scientist who made a giant rat. It never showed the rat because whenever it attacked it was a POV shot. There was a dream sequence where the scientist was having sex with a lady and started growing and then it cut to him like 12 feet tall still having sex with the woman, who screamed. At first they sent an exterminator after the rat in a sewer, and also it attacked some guy in a leather jacket.

I am trying to remember it because it is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

This is probably totally wrong but it does sound a lot like Gnaw: Food Of The Gods II. It's been years since I've seen it but it did involve scientists, giants rats and sewers.
I also recall a swimming pool scene where the rats attack. I think most the movie plays out like one giant rat then you find out there are loads.

I know the exact film you are on about.

It starts with them creating their own court where they take the bad class members in there. They might charge them with stealing a chocolate bar or something. they put them in front of the court, strip them naked, take a polaroid of them to use it as blackmail if they did not abide by the court ruling.

They take the teacher into the court and charge him with the offence of "being a bad example". They do the same polaroid thing with him. They charge him and leave him there. However they leave him there for so long that, as you mentioned, he commits suicide.

There is an investigation at the school, so to get out of it, one of the kids involved in the court says that the teacher was a paedophole that used to touch him up and offers the polaroids up as proof. So the kids get away with everything.

Now as for the name of this film, that's a tough one. I always thought that the name of it was simply "Police", but i cannot find something that matches that name. I shall hunt a little more.

This one's been bugging me for a while.

I only saw one scene of it when I was seven or eight years old (back around 1991-2 or so), but as I recall, the premise was that all technology had turned evil. In the scene, a young boy was riding around suburbia in a bicycle (or maybe he was walking, I forget), and passing by the resultant carnage of technology's rebellion. For instance, I remember a guy dead in his bathroom from his shaver going berserk, and people smashed by their cars. It would periodically cut to a truck driving itself around, and I presume it was looking for the kid. I'd like to find this movie again, as it sounds like something that could be entertaining to see no matter how good or bad it might have been.

It sounds like Maximum Overdrive. Not 100% sure though.

In the early 90s I watched a movie based on the story of Hansel and Gretel. Wikipedia and IMDB list several movies based on the story and there doesn't seem to be any way of telling which one it was I saw. Perhaps someone can I identify it based on my vague description?

It was in the early 90s, so the film couldn't have been made until about 1992 at the latest-- if I had to guess I'd say the film was probably an 80s production, but I'm not at all sure. (It was in colour, anyway.) To my young self the film seemed quite terrifying, because it added some extra sinister elements to the gingerbread house. Specifically I recall giant gingerbread men lining the path like statues-- but the gingerbread men had people trapped inside, like the wax figures of House of Wax. :-O

Anyone got any idea?

Alright this one was vaguely described to me so lets see if someone can recognize it.
Its at least 10-13 years old, if not more. Believed to be Horror in genre.
At the start of the film, an old lady is sitting on a rocking chair in a completely black setting. A young girl appears and suddenly has a large stone in her hand. She raises the stone so that the old lady rocks back and forth into the stone and beats herself to death on the stone...
Thats the main description i have of the film. Also their were some crazy dogs at some point in the film. So if anyone can get this i will be very impressed and very grateful. Thanks guys.

Holy poo poo, I know this one, it has a birthday theme, I think it's one called Madhouse, not the comedy, the 1981 movie.

There was a movie made by a cast and crew of mentally and physically handicapped adults and children sometime after 2000. It was some of the craziest poo poo I've ever seen with the plot jumping from some kid meeting some friends and enjoying a beautiful day in a city populated entirely by tards to encountering aliens who look like overweight bikers trapped in a tie-dye universe who project themselves onto the sides of buildings.

Never saw it but is it What Is It?

This has been driving me crazy for years. I saw it at my baby sitter's house sometime in the early to mid 90s. I've been trying to figure it out since then, but no one I've asked has any idea. I can't remember much, except for a few scenes.

1. A boy and girl running away from a big rottweiler through the walls of a house/apartment.
2. A man, directed by some woman, is trying to get the boy, and he puts a knife into the wall, accidentally killing the dog. The woman screams. There was a close up of the knife as it was pulled out of the wall, slowly dripping with blood.
3. The little girl's in a white dress cleaning blood off the floor as the woman screams at her.

1. I must've seen this one when I was nine or ten. I think it was on the TBS show "Movies for Guys Who Like Movies" but can't be sure. The premise was somebody had taken over a school and had hostages, or maybe it was before the police were contacted and they were trying to keep everybody in the school without getting out or notifying anybody. Why? I don't know. Adults present? No idea. I do remember a cool scene though where the main dude decided to try and get help or contact somebody and he ran really fast out a window and then came back in time for the dudes who were making checks to not notice he left. Then a scene later the main bad guy decided he knew the kid was lying and had left so he smacked him in the face.
I don't expect either of these to be gotten, but thanks for trying.

I haven't seen it in years but sounds like Toy Soldiers.

I remember the kid saying he was in the shower and didn't hear the bell ring.
