| I've been trying to identify an episode of an old horror program (or possibly a movie) that I saw on TV in the 1960's. It had this ending: A young girl is confronted by an adult couple (presumably her parents) because she has drawn a picture of the house on fire. Her drawing has supernaturally caused the house to actually be on fire. As the male adult reaches to restrain the child, she grabs a nearby framed portrait of him and draws a line on it. This causes a bleeding gash on the man's face. The chilling final scene is the girl covering his photo completely with marks as we hear the man's screams. Any clue what show or movie this scene is from? | Answer |
| I am trying to find a movie that I watched when I was younger. I really don't remember all that much about it. I do know that it was about a recently married couple who went on a vacation possibly their honeymoon to an eccentric uncle's place. The new husband was having problems in a sexual nature and the new wife was constantly getting hit on by the uncle. The husband ends up sleeping with a woman when they are trapped in a storm. Any help would be appreciated? | Answer |
| Calling all Samurai fans! My friend and I saw this movie on a public access channel and couldn't stop laughing, it was a very low budget Samurai movie. There was one scene where an old guy with a long white beard (who seems to be in every Samurai film) is talking to his student(?) He says something like "I am here! Soon I won't be here! But they be here!" Then he throws a stick at a rock and a ninja jumps out. (The old guy is later killed by someone who turns into a snake.) Later the student is running through the woods, and after jumping up into a tree after spikes stick out of the ground, fights with someone (another ninja?). The ninja cuts off his head, but his head just floats to a log and talks to him while his body continues fighting, after he kills the guy, his head floats back on to his body. At the end of the film the guy is standing on a rooftop and draws a circle in the air which he "throws" to the bad guys, tying them up. There is also something about an old lady standing near water, yelling something while slowly disappearing. My friend and I have been trying to find this film for nearly 3 years. Please help. | Answer |
| The film I am looking for is about a Asian man who is in the Asian mafia and gets banned to America in order to save his life. He proceeds to start running an underground killing spree. I believe the name of the movie was his name but i am not sure. This film has plenty of good killing scenes and I would love to see it again. Does anyone have a suggested title? | Answer |
| Much like the "Wilhelm" scream, there is the sound of a lizard-like monster that is used time and time again. It was both the roar of the DragonZord on Power Rangers, and Bahamut from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. What's the title of the clip (if it has one) and where did it originate? | Answer |

| Can anyone identify this movie? Probably made in the late 40s, a romantic comedy. A woman tries to elude a wealthy bachelor so she boards a train for a vacation in the mountains. He finds out and diverts her train car to Palm Beach (?) (a warm place). The scene I remember is her striding across the lobby of the train station. She is wearing a plaid wool jacket/winter clothes and the bystanders are staring at her. It is not Palm Beach Story. Thanks. | Answer |
| In sci fi movies it seems (mostly) there is one scene with a rotating fan or fans. Usually they are backlit and slightly foggy, but they usually serve no purpose. Sometimes a duct fan, sometimes a stand-up room fan. One film had 20 of the things in a 'wall of fans'. Does anybody know the significance of throwing a meaningless fan into a movie? | Answer |
| I am trying to find the title of a film I watched a few years ago, The storyline, There was a woman who is held hostage in her home by this man, I can't quite remember if he was on the run from the police or escaped from prison, he is very nasty to begin with. The man and woman end up talking and she has many problems also from her childhood, they talk about everything. Also the police and negotiators are outside along with her worried husband. In the end they become friends and walk out together after she persuades him, it's based on a true story, and was shown on the channel Living TV. I really liked this movie I just can't remember the title. | Answer |
| I need the title of a western I once saw on "Dialing for Dollars" if you remember that TV show. The movie ended with a couple - possibly husband and wife - surrounded by a posse or some lawmen. They are in an all-out gunfight. The husband is killed and they ask the wife to give up. She grabs the husband's gun and starts shooting also. She is immediately shot and dies. I remember the woman as if she were Rachel Welch, but I have not found any of her westerns to be a match. Thanks. | Answer |
| I'm hoping that someone will know the name of a movie that I saw in the 1990's. It's about the boogey man and starts with a little girl and boy who share a room. There's a teddy bear under the bed and it's eyes are glowing and it steals the little boy by convincing him to come under the bed. A detective (I think) involves himself in the 'kidnapping' of the boy, and it turns out that his older brother had also been taken. I think they find a bloody shoe in a forest. There's another bit where you see the boogey man and he's transparent and something happens with another little boy and then the boogey man is swinging through trees. I'm desperate to find this movie as I saw it when I was quiet young (although only the first half as my parents made me stop watching it). Any ideas? | Answer |
| I'm trying to find a movie made in the 90s, in the movie there was two guys (one had curly hair I believe (not 100% sure if he did or not). One of them was with a girl in the beginning of the movie, but she left him on a row boat, so him and his friend had to get home on foot. On their way home, a guy picks them up but pulls out a gun and makes them undress. So they have to get home on foot now in their underwear. Anyone know the title? | Answer |
| I need the title to a movie seen on TV about 30 years ago. The movie ends with a battle between armored knights and a host of archers. I think the archers are supposed to be English longbowmen. The knights get surrounded in the open and the archers kill them all with volleys of arrows. | Answer |

| About twelve years ago, I was watching this animated TV special where a little girl is reading a ghost story to her toys. Her mother calls her down, so she pauses and puts a bookmark in the book.

The toys (one I remember was named Grouchbear) are then transported into the story and must find a way to end it. What was the name of the special? | Answer |

| This question is really broad, but for a broadcasting class I am taking we have to find the movie this scene is from. So if anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated. Scene: Takes place in a wooded area, there is really deep snow, up to the person's knees at least. A man is running frantically, constantly looking behind him and tripping over the deep snow. He is wearing a winter hat, reminds me of the ones you see Russians wearing (not sure what they are called.) On his hat are the numbers "29648." There are men chasing after him on horses and a blonde woman with the same type of hat on a horse next to him. Then a spear is thrown at him and pierces through the back of his head and looks like it comes out through his eye and he falls to the ground. That is it. I know it's really not a lot to work with, but I'm just hopeing someone might have seen it and could help me out. Thanks in advance. | Answer |
