Name the Movies

No. The other film, like The Haunting, features a scene where the heroine runs around the house (in her nightgown both times, IIRC), with all sorts of slanty camera angles and fish-eye distortions to indicate that she’s gone over the edge.

Plus, both my movies are scary in black & white. :slight_smile:

The Haunting and The Innocents.

Oh, and although I’m sure I’m right about the movies you were thinking of, The Haunting and Repulsion were both in black and white. Or did you mean that Repulsion wasn’t scary? (If that’s what you meant, I agree, it wasn’t. The ironing scene was hilarious, though I expect it was meant to be creepy.)

Got it!

It was a kind of hint/in-joke. I only meant that both films were mentioned over the weekend in another thread: What Black and White movie scared you but good? When I saw that, I was sure someone would guess my two movies right away (see my message at the top of this page).

No criticism of Repulsion was intended.

I opened that thread specifically so I could mention The Innocents, but someone beat me to it.

Temple of Doom and Dreamscape were given as answers, but to be precise, Kate Capshaw wasn’t in that particular scene in Dreamscape. Dennis Quaid was the one who gasped “You sick bastard!” (which never fails to crack me up).
