Title: Fireplace with little monster men
Post by: venomx on April 18, 2007, 03:15:14 PM
 Sound like an old film? I cant remeber much more. I think the grandfather or the dad said dont mess with the fireplace and she opens it anyway then these little monster men with black bodies and white coconut heads kill her lol ... please and thanks  :twirl:

My thoughts exactly.  I'm sure that's it.

I seem to recall the house is inherited from the heroine's grandfather (Kim Darby starred with Jim Hutton as her husband).  William Demarest played the handyman who knows the secret and almost pays with his life for merely being suspected by the creatures as having told.  Do you remember the heroine being dragged with a cord down into the fireplace after too many sleeping pills?  ( She delays this by using a flashcube on a camera--the little creatures abhor light.)   A scary heartbreaker! 
The fireplace and little monster men, which our heroine eventually joins (you hear her voice mixed with their's at the very end) is surely DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, a made-for-TV film that is well remembered and well loved.

Really liked this one as a kid. Scary film! You never see that playing on TV anymore and you can't rent it at Blockbuster either. There are some good made for TV movies that are not on DVD yet.
