When I was a kid I saw a movie on t.v. about a married couple moving into an old victorian style home. There were these dwarfish green creatures that lived in the chimney flue and wanted the woman for their queen. She has a bunch of psychotic episodes and her husband is making her think she is going crazy because she is seeing little green men. By the end of the movie the creatures drag her down to the cellar and stuff her in the flue and she becomes their queen after all.

Did I dream up this movie or does anyone know the title. I can’t remember actors names or anything about it other than it scared the piss out of me as a kid. It was on very very late at night once and I haven’t seen it again since.

Sure sounds like it to me. [Judge for yourself](http://us.imdb.com/Plot?0069992).
