Title: Need help w/ 3...
Post by: the sentinel on November 05, 2007, 08:45:14 PM
Hey, guys, how is everyone? Got 3 more for y'all. Sorry, but not much detail.
1.) Kids race hot rods and murder the elderly couple next door by hanging them from a tree. (Had nightmares about this one for a while when I was little) Then another neighbor becomes the vigilante and blows up the cars. Probably from the 1970's.
2.) People flee a burning building at the very end of the movie and when they look back the flames and smoke form a silhouette of the devil in the sky. (More nightmares for me). From the 1960's I think.
3.) Little girl hugs her mom and fries her to a crisp. Saw this one on one of Elvira's Saturday night features in the early 1980's. Probably from the 1970's or so.
Thanks and good luck.

1. No idea.  :teddyr:

2. Sounds like the end to Quatermass and the Pit AKA Five Million Years to Earth.

3. This has got to be The Children.

Yeah the 3rd is The Children. Click shadow's link and the part you're talking about is even the movie clip at the bottom of the page. I"m not sure what that first one is though.

I am not too sure on number 2, but you are both spot on for the third one. Thanks a bunch.  :twirl:

No. 2 is a loose match for The Car.  At the end, the demon car blows up and the fiery face of the devil is seen in the smoke.

More than likely #2 is QUATERMASS AND THE PIT.  Here's a poster that might help:

Number 2 is definitely Qaurtermass. The picture in the middle of the poster is exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks, Gerry, you gave me goosebumps. LOL.

Here's a few movie titles to look into for your first inquiry:

Hot Rods from Hell - Hot rodding teens chase after an unsuspecting "all-American" family. Eventually Dad gets annoyed and takes some action. IMDB PAGE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061784/)

Race With the Devil - A vacationing couple in an RV are terrorized by Satanists on Wheels! IMDB PAGE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073600/)

I've never seen either of them, so I'm not sure if they fit the bill, but they are right around the time period you're looking for.

I don't recall anybody hanging in HOT RODS to HELL...and I own race WITH THE DEVIL,and can positivly say that isn't it. Seen THE CAR...but the smoke demon comes from the car blowing up...not a building.

I think number 1 may be "Outrage" with Robert Culp. Some bits I remember from it.
The Kids try to run down Culp and he karate chops the headlight as he gets out of the way.
They kill his large shaggy dog by hitting it with one of the cars.
The punks back a large truck through the fence around the swimming pool of an elderly woman and dump garbage into the pool.
The IMDb page for it.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070497/
If you look at the comments page, thesinmen mentions Culp destroying a yellow '57 Chevy Nomad at the end. Comments page link:

I don't recall anyone getting hung though.

Belated memory update. I think it isn't an elderly couple that get hung, but their pet birds.
