Hi,

I saw this around 1988 or 89. I don't think it was in 1990 or later. I
thought I remember the title being called "Scared to Death", however all
the info from IMDB does not indicate that's what it was.

It was a story about a family that moved to this house. (Yea, I know! How
many can there be?!!)

Anyway, It was a husband and wife with two kids...(brother and sister). I
remember towards the end the siblings were running through a tunnel with
this thing chasing after them...(that was the really scary part and the
part I remember the most) Maybe they were looking for their lost dog when
this happened? I remember the girl hearing strang noises or seeing
something weird. I think the house may have burned down or sunk into the
ground in the end.

Sorry I don't remember much more about it. The thing that was running
after them was not a ghost, it may have been a guy who had died and came
back to life looking much different than a regular person.

This was not Nightmare, Jason or anything like that. I'm pretty sure they
did not make another one.

Thanks,


Barney

Sorry, that was too many years before the one I saw. Funny thing though, I
used to work at a drive-in where they were showing that movie when it came
out!

Sorry to say there are many movies that have that type of discription that
I'm looking for. It was more around 1987 through 1989.

I think I can help narrow down the time when it came out. I saw a
"Nightmare" movie about the same time. This "Nightmare" movie had a sceen
where this guy was in a car or van, every time he tried to drive out of
town, he ended up back at the same starting place. So if I can narrow down
what Nightmare movie that was, I would say that the other movie I'm looking
for came out about the same year.


Thanks!


Barney

Is it "Scared Stiff" (1987) ? Although, The Nightmare on Elm Street movie you're thinking of is from 1989 (4: The Dream Master).
