That coffin lid popping open has haunted me for years. For most of my life I had no idea what movie it was. I recently figured out that it was CREATURE...at some point I'd like to revisit it, but everything I've read about it suggests that it blows.

I think the one that stands out is Lemora, A Child's Tale of the Supernatural. I only ever saw it two or three years in a row in Chicago on tv. They had a habit of showing it on the 4th of July. That was back in the mid-late 70's. Hadn't seen it again for almost 30 years. I'd never forgotten the scenes, the music, anything. It just stuck with me as one of the creepiest, best-done, and most nostalgic movies ever. And it certainly held up to that, seeing it again as an adult for the first time in several decades! IF anything, I appreciate it even more. It was just as creepy, moody, atmospheric, and nostalgic as I remember it, if not moreso.

I would have been 4 or 5 (this was 1964), and the only image I remember was the old man carrying a boulder on his back. I haven't seen the film since, but I often think about that scene.

That night I was to know the true meaning of fear. I know I'm going to be disappointed by it when I finally do see it, but I can't wait.

I saw a bootleg of the original recently, and it is INCREDIBLY cheap, but still fun if you look at it the right way.

Back when I was eight, that walking tree scared me (one of the very few movies "Ronald the Ghoul" of Shock Theater ever showed on his late Friday night program that ever scared me). Not so scary now. I gotta admit, though, that there were some neat scenes when the Tabonga is first starting to grow out of the ground at the burial site of a young villager and everyone is wondering what this weird whatzit is.

It was a treat to pick up a vhs from Creepy Classics in the 90's. Now I play the dvd several times a year. "Some days its not worth the effort of chewing through the restraints".

I was always puzzled by one rating, "unobjectionable for adults with reservations." What. If they called ahead, it was all right? It seemed as though there was at least something objectionable about every sci-fi movie. Anyway, Barbarella got a big fat "condemned" rating, which only added to the fascination that I developed from seeing newspaper ads and hearing word of mouth about Jane Fonda's opening striptease. I didn't see it until around 1980, when it was already playing on Cinemax. I remember being quite hyped up, and then being very let down when it was no big deal, really. Now of course, I thought a little different when Showtime started those 15-minute "Aerobicise" workout shows...

I must have been 6 or 7 when my father asked me one day "do you want to see a movie tonight?" Sure, I said; what movie is it? "Frankenstein!" Being a young and ignorant child, I no idea what a Frankenstein was so I said ok. Later on that night we're all sitting down to see this movie. Movie starts with a funeral, 2 creepy guys digging in a grave, electrical gizmos flashing and whirring; I'm getting creeped out by this. After a little stretch where nothing happens, the crazy doctor is talking to another crazy doctor when you hear footsteps coming. "He's coming! Turn off the lights!" Big door opens and a large man dressed in black enters the room, backward. He turns slowly towards you. I will never forget the 2 quick cuts of the monsters living/dead face. I screamed, ran into by bedroom and hid. For many years I knew for certain the monster lived in our basement and was just waiting for the right opportunity to jump out of the dark and grab me.

All I remember clearly about it was that I watched it one late night with my older sister back in '71 or '72 & the final scene is an image of a girl/young woman driving away from something. Like perhaps the film's events at a house? And there may or may not be ( a man?) someone in the passenger seat. Not much to go on is it? All I can really ad are impressions that I have of that finale being a "reveal" that, infact, the chick is evil or crazy or something ... Whenever I bring this up to people they automatically are convinced that I'm talking about the 1979 creeper TOURIST TRAP, which has a VERY similar ending with the lead chick driving away as mad as a hatter with her car packed with mannequins she thinks are her dead friends. But, that's definitely not it because it was made & I saw it during it's theatrical run, a good seven or eight years after I saw the "mystery movie" or "childhood obsession" movie I'm trying to put a name to. In fact, I can vividly recall being amazed how much like that other film's ending TRAP's finale was. I'm sure it's a lost cause though, because I don't even have a sypnosis for my unnamed flick. Though, I believe it had to do with a man coming to the girl's family home for some reason & bad things going down there. People ( her family members?) being killed. Though I don't know if said deaths were by some supernatural means or by human hands, though I'm inclined to lean toward the latter. Other things about it ... The girl was blonde. The guy thinks he's saving the girl, but in the end we're left thinking that HE might need saving from her. The final shot ends in a freeze frame of her with a crazy/knowing/twisted grin. The impression that I was left with from that long ago, single viewing that I've been haunted by ever since was that it was more than likely a 1960's era film. If anyone out there can give me any suggestions or even wild guesses toward what this film's title might be, you'd have an incredible amount of thanks coming your way from me! So, anyone have any ideas what it might be? Please? I LIVE IN THE WEAK & THE WOUNDED

I know its NOT it, but your description DOES resemble the ending of the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" with the (by that point of the film) seemingly demented Sally Hardesty character driving away from Leatherface. I know it can't be the film you're thinking of, but it does share similarities. Bryan

(11/11/07 5:07 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Glad you added this topic. Am new to the forum and enjoy reading the posts very much. My favorite childhood horror movie obsession and later greatest disappointment was the Saturday Chiller airing of The Screaming Skull. This movie totally scared the wits out of me -- and I was basically weaned on horror/monster movies - Saturday monster matinees and the 10:30 Chiller, preceded for a time by Karloff's Thriller. For years my best buddy and I would fondly reminisce about this picture and even jointly recall scenes that were not quite portrayed in the movie as we both remembered. Then the day came when Chiller re-aired The Screaming Skull and my friend and I (now in our mid-teens) both looked forward to the weekend with great anticipation. Well . . . all I can say is that sometimes childhood memories should not be disturbed. After years of regarding The Screaming Skull as perhaps the ultimate scare flick, our later viewing immediately consigned it to the ranks of one of the worst. most boring horror movies ever made. A virtual endurance test, if you will. Other films much enjoyed and admired as a child have had that effect on me as I matured and watched them with a more critical eye, but that remains my greatest movie disappointment.
