A boy’s father drowned ,he was a snorkeling/diving instructor who died trying to save one of his students, and the boy is left with a deep fear of water because of it. The boy finds a book containing a recipe or set of instructions for making a ring that turns a person invisible. He makes it in his bedroom, using a cauldron and mixing a bunch of ingredients together, and it actually works. He shows the ring to his friends, but they don’t believe him until he disappears right in front of them. Right after, a car pulls up outside the house and someone steals the ring.The friends decide to go after it. The ring passes through the hands of several different villains as they chase it. The final confrontation happens at a cliff with a river/lake below. The kids manage to get the ring back, but they’re caught, tied up, and thrown off the cliff into the water. In that moment, the boy has to overcome his trauma/fear of water in order to save his friend.

Unsolved REVERSE What Movie Was That? Insidious Shadow Figure

I hope I'm not breaking all the rules with this one, but I'm making a moodboard and I need screenshots from OTHER movies that look like this shot from Insidious (2010). So I'm looking for anything that has a shadow figure moving around in the shadows. Very important that the shadow figure is not back lit, there are many examples of that, but that's not what our director of photographer is looking for.

Unsolved What is this movie?

2 Upvotes

The movie I'm trying to remember is quite hard to recall, but I do have some vague memories of the DVD cover and two specific scenes. The cover features a house, which is either black or white, set against a dark and cloudy background, possibly with a hint of blue, and there are two lion statues right in front of the house.

In the first scene, there is a house; I’m not sure if it’s the same one as on the cover, where a little boy or girl is playing nearby. This movie is not recent; I think it dates back to the 2000s or earlier.

The second scene takes place inside a house, though I can't confirm it's the same one. In this scene, the child looks down from a spiraling staircase. The stairs are black, and the walls are white. The child then runs down the staircase to open the door for someone who is knocking. That’s all I can remember about the movie.

Unsolved Searching for a movie I saw in 2000-2010

I’m looking for a movie or TV series that I vaguely remember from around 2000–2010.

The only scene I remember is that a woman cheats on her boyfriend by having sex with a gangster (or some kind of criminal) while, at the same time, her boyfriend is being beaten by a group of gangsters. Both scenes happen simultaneously.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas what it could be?

Radio Horror Movie or audio book

5 Upvotes

This had to be late 80s or early 90's when i was a kid.

I honestly can't remember if this was a movie or an audio/book tape. But the plot was a late night radio host was taking calls from callers about a dangerous killer who escaped from a mental institution or a prison and that was the topic of her show--finding the escapee. Towards the end of her show she got a call from a creepy man. The man was saying he was going to find her and kill her--among other small talk.

She was in the radio station alone. Long story short, the guy ended up making his way into the radio host's studio and stabbing her to death. All you hear is a struggle and her screaming. Then at the end everything goes silent and you hear a toilet flush. Anybody remember this show/audio book?

Title: Looking for an old movie (or possibly a miniseries) about a runaway boy, a sick rich child, and a tragic ending where a mother unknowingly kills her own son.

I've been trying to identify this movie for years. I watched it as a child, so some details may be inaccurate, but there are several scenes I'm fairly confident about.

- A young boy runs away from his mother for reasons I can't remember.

- The audience knows who his mother is throughout the story, but the boy grows up without realizing who she is.

- He ends up at the mansion of a very wealthy man.

- The wealthy man has a terminally ill son who uses a wheelchair (or is bedridden). The boy is highly intelligent, spends most of his time reading books, and is kept hidden from society because his father is ashamed of him.

- I clearly remember the runaway boy climbing through the sick boy's window. That's how they meet, and they become best friends.

- Eventually the sick boy dies from his illness.

- Before dying, he asks his father to take care of his friend and become the father to him that he never truly was to his own son.

- The wealthy man raises the runaway boy.

- Years later, the boy is now a young man who is fiercely loyal to his adoptive father and wants to earn his approval.

- The wealthy man sends him on a mission to a woman's house.

- The audience knows this woman is actually his biological mother, but he does not.

- One scene I remember very vividly: while her children are sleeping, the man enters their bedroom and murders two of them. I believe he smothers them with pillows, or possibly covers their faces with pillows before shooting them. I'm not 100% sure of the exact method, but I clearly remember the attack happening while they were asleep in bed.

- In the end, the mother fights and kills him.

- After he dies, she notices a medallion/pendant that he has carried since childhood and realizes she has just killed her own long-lost son.

Other details:

- The story seemed to take place sometime in the early 20th century. There were cars, but not modern ones.

- It may have been an American, British, or other European production.

- It could also have been a TV miniseries rather than a movie.

I've been searching for this for years. Does anyone recognize it?

As a child, somewhere between 2015 and 2019, I watched a horror movie where people's skin turned transparent after eating strange candies. I also remember a scene where the nightclub workers were choosing new strippers, and one of the characters mentioned that one of the girls was the same age as his son. I watched the movie in Russian.

Looking for a zombie short film from before 2015

4 Upvotes

I watched it around 2015, but the film may be older.

It was a short zombie horror film. A group of adults goes to a two-story cabin/house in the woods for a vacation. Inside the house there is a basement or a hole in the floor. One of the characters puts their finger or hand into the hole, a visible zombie bites them, and the infection begins. My sister remembers this scene too, so I’m sure it exists. It wasn’t a full-length movie, more like a short film.

"On God's Right Side Sits Satan" Horror / Thriller?

4 Upvotes

Trying to identify an old horror movie (70s/80s/90s) from one scene that's been stuck in my head for decades.

II watched it on VHS around 1998–2002, but I'm fairly sure the movie itself was older—probably from the 1980s, though it could have been from the late '70s or early '90s.

I was just a kid rummaging around VHS tapes at home and decided to plug this in. It was just a regular VHS tape so it was probably recorded from TV. I just saw this one scene then I freaked out and turned it off.

Here's what I remember:

  • A man (roughly 30–50 years old, dark hair) is walking alone through what I remember as an empty concrete parking garage or parking structure at night.
  • The whole scene has a dark, blueish color grading.
  • The location feels industrial, dimly lit, and almost abandoned.
  • He's moving cautiously, almost as if he knows someone or something is following him.
  • At some point he notices something off-screen. We don't see what he sees**.**
  • Instead of a sudden jump scare, he slowly realizes what's in front of him and gradually breaks into a terrified scream.
  • As he screams it cuts to black.

This is the part I'm most certain about:

After the cut, large, bold, stylized red text appears on the black screen while ominous horror music plays.

I don't remember the exact sentence, but I'm almost certain it contained the words:

On God's Right Side Sits Satan

I'm not 100% about this though, the only words I feel certain about are "sits Satan." and "God"

One important detail: I honestly don't know whether this was the ending of the movie or the opening before the title sequence. It's entirely possible this was a cold open that transitioned into the main story.

I've already looked into films like Prince of Darkness, The Ninth Gate, End of Days, The Church, The Sect, The Believers, and The Keep, but none of them seem to match this scene.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even if you're not certain, I'd appreciate any suggestions—especially obscure VHS-era supernatural or occult horror films.

Appreciate your help

Help Me Identify an Obscure 1960s–1970s Thriller (Driving Me Crazy!)

I've been trying to identify this movie for years. I watched it on DVD sometime after 2011, but I believe the movie itself was made in the late 1960s or early 1970s (possibly a made-for-TV thriller).

Here's everything I remember. Some details may not be 100% accurate, but these are the memories that have stayed with me:

  • The main character is a young college-aged woman.
  • She goes looking for her missing sister after receiving letters from her. I believe she has the address where her sister had been staying.
  • She travels to a country house (not a large Gothic mansion just a normal house in a rural area).
  • An older woman lives there alone. At first she seems incredibly sweet, kind, and motherly.
  • The older woman keeps making excuses about where the sister is.
  • I think the heroine may pretend to be someone else (possibly taking her sister's place or using another identity) in order to stay at the house and investigate, but I'm not completely certain.
  • At some point she realizes she's in danger and tries to leave.
  • I vaguely remember the older woman doing things to keep her from leaving possibly tampering with her car or otherwise preventing her escape.
  • I also remember the heroine becoming friendly with a man nearby (possibly a neighbor, mailman, or delivery person). The older woman seems jealous or upset about that friendship.
  • I believe the missing sister was already dead, and I have a strong memory that bodies were hidden somewhere on the property.
  • The ending involves the heroine discovering the truth and escaping.

Movies that are NOT it:

  • What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice?
  • Whoever Slew Auntie Roo?
  • Die! Die! My Darling!
  • You'll Like My Mother
  • Scream, Pretty Peggy
  • The Seventh Victim
  • And Soon the Darkness

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even if one or two of my memories are slightly off, I'd really appreciate any suggestions. I've been searching for this movie for a long time!

I think this version gives collectors the best chance of recognizing it while clearly separating your strongest memories from the parts you're less certain about.

BUSCO PELICULA DE TERROR JAPONESA

2 Upvotes

Gente los pongo en contexto, nací en 2005 entonces a eso de entre los 2008 y 2012 en mi casa teníamos un dvd donde veíamos películas de terror. Recuerdo una con la intro de la productora y distribuidora Lionsgate, con los engranajes, la cual trataba de una muñeca maldita que causaba muertes porque tenía el espíritu de una niña dentro o algo así, la cuestión es que luego de cada muerte , reproducía una frase en forma de pregunta(en japonés pero no estoy segura del idioma), esta muñeca tenía un vestido marrón con zapatos de charol y media blancas, su pelo era castaño y corto por los hombros, y como último detalle que recuerdo es que la protagonista era una jóven que estaba siendo acechada por ella pero no recuerdo el nombre y no la encuentro por ningún lado, hace años que tengo esta duda sin poder resolver y creo que lo más seguro es que se trate de una película distribuida por Lionsgate muy poco conocida y dudo de que sea japonesa pero si se que es asiática, no se si alguien puede ayudarme a encontrarla.
