A weird show about a space guy, silver, metal, kinda freaked me out. Wasn’t a movie, but a show. That’s really all I have to go on except I think it aired in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s ---

That’s really all I have to go on except I think it aired in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s That covers a lot of territory; but one possibility from the time frame you mention was either a TV movie or a very short-lived (2-3 episodes) show. A scientist was developing an electrically powered shape-shifting metal; and after bad guys caused him to become paraplegic he used his invention to build an exoskeleton suit that would do the walking for him, with which he was able to avenge himself. ---

There was this movie in the 1990’s I saw as a kid that had two girls as main characters. One girl had long chestnut brown hair and the other girl had pigtails and glasses. Both got confronted by some blue and yellow creature. ---

I saw a movie when I was 6-ish. I was at a drive in with my parents so around 1960-1963? A girl school in a castle? One girl was in or fell in a well I think. Maybe her name was Candy. ---

I wasn’t a kid, but I saw this movie in the 80’s. It was a slasher film, without any nudity as I recall, in which a killer stalked the ladies of a sorority house and killed them, usually with sharp and pointed objects. There was a young man, a classical pianist. He may have been the killer, or at least under suspicion. He played the piano in one scene. I believe he did a glissando. The plot was confusing, possibly because I was drinking, but I would like to see the film sometime to see if it would make sense. ---

Ichecked your links and went to Wikipedia, burpo, and looked up both films. I don’t think it was “The Toolbox Murders.” The setting seemed to be more like an Eastern state from what I remember, and it was definitely at a college. It may be “Sorority House Massacre.” There are definite similarities. Thanks for answering the question, and I shall check out SHM sometime. ---

**Peyote Coyote,** take a look at the original [Black Christmas (1974)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Christmas_(1974_film)): it has a pianist in it, and I have an idea it was re-released in the 80s — that’s certainly when I saw it. ---

My post is a little different–there are several SHORTS (most of them animated) that I saw as a kid but can’t seem to locate no matter what keywords I use. You see, when I was between eight and ten or so (1980-1982), Nickelodeon was a commercial-free network. That meant they showed shorts in between shows as filler (as did HBO as well, but I think I saw these on Nick). This would have been the “mime” and “silver ball” eras of Nick. In addition, the early Nick show Hocus Focus was built around animated and live-action shorts–many of them from the National Film Board of Canada. (I believe most of these shorts were Canadian or British, since that’s where Nick got a lot of its early programming–especially Canada. That’s where they got You Can’t Do That on Television, which was the saving of the network.) The animated ones I remember: -A guy in a superhero outfit and his talking cat sidekick (or he may have been a pointy-eared dog). The guy seemed to be animated in a rather oval style–his head, torso, arms, and legs, were all elongated ovals, IIRC. The two were rather bumbling–they were introduced rushing down the stairs on their way to a stakeout but tripping over each other. They didn’t appear to have superhero powers, but, like Batman and Robin, they cruised the city in a car. They also drank a LOT of coffee. They were after some gangster-types, and the end was surprisingly dark for a short that had begun so tongue-in-cheek…they confronted the gangster on a rooftop, he was shot and fell off, and the two simply looked at each other and said, “Let’s go home.” -Two from the same animator, with a British narrator. I believe one of them was shown on The Great Space Coaster as well. Both were rather eerie and had spooky, inconclusive endings. One had to do with a guy who was tracking some kind of monster into a forest–and neither of them ever emerged again. The other was about a guy named Leonard Harry (or was it Harry Leonard?) who lived a “humdrum” life (that was the exact word they used, and the first time I’d ever heard it)–until he discovered the art of disguise, which he mastered so well he could convincingly disguise himself as other animals or even inanimate objects. But his wife was getting so fed up with all this that when Leonard went into the attic to disguise himself once more, she locked him in and told him she wouldn’t let him out until he promised to stop this nonsense. She waited…and waited…and nothing happened…and when she finally unlocked the door, he was nowhere to be found. The implication was that he’d disguised himself as something in the attic–so well that he’d forgotten he was human and never emerged again. -A sort of riff on the Emperor’s New Clothes, with a rather grim ending. Some con-men tricked a king into paying a fortune for a “soft armored suit”–something that would protect him, but could be worn every day. The king went around in this suit at all times, presumably to protect himself from any threat at any time…but it was really no different than any other suit of armor, and when his son Prince Eustace returned from a trip, the king hugged him tightly while wearing the armor–fatally/critically injuring his son by crushing his bones. The short ended with the king lamenting his gullibility while holding the dead or critically injured body of the prince. -A rather touching one about a baby eagle learning to fly, with a narrator talking over it about how “There are times in our lives when we feel small, unimportant…” and going on to equate the baby eagle’s progress in flying with our own experiences of growing up and gaining confidence in ourselves. -A planet/country where EVERYTHING is green…people, buildings, animals, plants, cars. One day a little boy asks his average-Joe father, “Daddy, why is everything green?” The father just answers, “I don’t know, son,” but repeats the question to his co-workers. Soon, everyone is asking the question, taking it to the streets, plaguing the country’s rulers, who can’t give an answer. Finally, they solve the problem–by turning everything to BLUE instead. The short ends with a red guy in a beatnik beard (presumably, an out-of-towner) visiting and asking “Hey, man, why is everything blue?”) And a couple of live-action ones: -One I just mentioned in another thread, which had to have been made shortly after 1980. To a score of percussion instruments (drums and cymbals), it flashed still images of all of our presidents up to that time and the important incidents in their lives, going from paintings/etchings to photographs as the years progressed. At the very end, it showed a picture of Jimmy Carter–and then, on the final cymbal crash, cut to a color picture of a smiling, newly-elected Ronald Reagan. -This one HAD to have been made in Canada, since it was all in French–footage of a taxi driver’s hectic schedule over a frantic, fast-paced song in French, alternating with slower verses. It wasn’t subtitled or anything, so I had no idea what was being sung aside from the refrain, “HEY, TAXI!” which was apparently no different in French. ---

Not a clue; Mexican vampire film. > What plot if any do you remember? Although it was Mexican, the sets and interiors were a Bavarian village/lodge. Head Vampire drains many residents in village; instead of victims rising as un-dead, coffins pile up in streets/houses/catacombs(?). The Hero confronts Head Vampire in the lodge; HV turns into 6 foot tall bat and flies around the lodge. Hero grabs lance off the mantel, hurls it thru the air, and impales HV right thru the heart (on the fly, natch). The moment HV gets it, the lids of every coffin in town fly open and the un-dead rise, en masse, and wander thru town looking for whoever’s left (can’t be many). The Hero and the others in the lodge have put garlic in every window, door and, for all I know, the fireplace and toilets, too. The vampires have 3 inch fangs hanging outta their mouths, and their eyes are solid, glowing white, like if you took a face-on picture of your dog at night. That’s all I remember of the “plot.” > > What was special to you about it? I had seen dozens of vampire films up to this point, and this spit in the face of every one of them. However, it was quite eerie in a Mario Bava kind of way. > > Any other clues you can think of?

I’ll use the same format as before: > > When did it come out? Saw it on TV circa 1970; it was B&W. > Who was in it? I 'unno; another Mexican vampire film. > What plot if any do you remember? Head Vampire has a castle on top of a mesa in the desert. Underneath the castle is a maze of caverns; in the middle is a deep pit with spikes in the bottom (pointing up, of course). Our Hero’s brother (?) is creeping around in there for some reason, and is captured by the teeming horde of vampires that inhabit the caverns and tied to a post near the pit. An aside–there are tarantulas crawling everywhere; these Ts are each the size of a dinner plate (real ones, too). At some point, HV gives the signal and the horde moves in and finishes off the brother. A little later, OH’s girlfriend is captured by the HV and taken to the caverns. OH sneaks in for the rescue, manages to fight off the entire horde somehow, and goes hand-to-hand with HV. After several minutes of furious battle, OH backs the HV up to the spike pit and HV falls in and is DOA. OH finds the GF, and as he leads her out, she realizes she has fallen in love with HV, sees him dead in the pit, and throws herself in. DA END. > > What was special to you about it? It was the first movie I had ever seen that didn’t have a happy ending. > > Any other clues you can think of? There must have been a batch of Mexican horror films released to TV at the same time, because it seems I saw a bunch of them over the course of one summer. > > And that’s it! Any ETA on that bourbon? 😛 Apologies for the length. I don’t believe this myself, but _both_ these films turned up on my phone’s YouTube app last night, at the same time. #1 is, “La Invasion De Los Vampiros (The Invasion of the Vampires),” and #2 is, “El Mundo De Los Vampiros (The World of the Vampires).” Needless to say, I misremembered a bit of both films (I was 8 or 9 YO) and forgot some stuff that might have sooner helped with the titles. A quick glance of each and I can say without shadow of doubt that there are better ways for you to spend your time. Unless you’re stoned. Now if I can find the missing 30 seconds of Rev. Scott’s (Gene Hackman) speech near the end of the original “Poseidon Adventure,” I’ll die a happy mutt. ---
