It’s my first night at Gen Con. I settle down to bed after having been up since 3 a.m. to catch a plane, so I’m pretty much a zombie at this point. I turn on the TV to find something to go to sleep to, and happen upon this movie that looks vaguely interesting so I leave it on. I think I only lasted about 10 minutes into it initially, and then saw a couple of small snippets later. I have no way to look up what it was, and I don’t remember what channel it was on. This would have been around 11:30-midnight, so I don’t think it was a new movie. It _might_ have been CBS, but not sure. I call upon the astonishing powers of the Dope to satisfy my curiosity! Here’s what I remember: - When I tuned in, four little girls were discussing something mysterious. They go to one of their grandmothers to ask her about it (“What happened to so-and-so and her son all those years ago?” Grandma won’t tell them–she says they don’t need to know and it was horrible. Grandma, by the way, seems a bit dotty–she gives them something to drink that none of them like, and then shoos them out because she has to go play bingo.) - The cars place the “little girl” portion of the movie sometime in the '60s. - The girls then sneak into an attic and look through stuff until they find a newspaper clipping describing a murder–the boy and his mom were shot to death. One girl has a crying fit but I was drifting in and out at that point so I don’t remember why. - The girls go to the graveyard at night and try to have a seance to contact the boy. A scary guy shows up, but it’s only the groundskeeper. He tells them that the boy’s gravestone was cracked because he backed into it with his tractor. [I went to sleep at this point] When I woke up later, four women (who I think were the girls, all grown up) were gathered around a bed where one of them was having a baby. They encourage her and eventually it’s born. It’s a girl. There’s nothing overly dramatic or frightening about this scene–just a standard ‘having a baby’ scene. They were in a private home, though, not a hospital. That’s all I remember. Anybody? Thanks in advance! (BTW, I probably won’t reply much today as I’m heading out for a day at the con. But I’ll be checking in! 🙂 ) ---

Yep, that’s the one! Thanks! Looks a lot more chick-flicky than I thought it was from the snippets I saw. I thought it would be creepier. Doesn’t look like I missed much (that’s not really my kind of movie). Thanks again for the fast response, though 🙂
