I seem to remember a scene from a made-for-TV movie about a house with a demon in it from the 1970s, but its not _Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark_.

In the scene I am thinking of, the family is looking at a photo of themselves standing in front of the house, and in the background a pair of glowing eyes can be discerned in a darkened window in the photo.

Sound familiar to anyone?

**Never mind** It was called “Something Evil”.

I remember that movie. Early Spielberg, IIRC. Darren McGavin.

The “red goo” in the kitchen cabinet, crying like a baby: creeped me out big time.

What I remember from this is the woman singing a song about apples–for a commercial or home movie they’re filming?–on the front porch. The glowy eyes show up on the film.

I didn’t remember the title, though.
