Title: Old Horror Film (may be B&W) Post by: jjnz on June 01, 2013, 07:10:44 AM Hi i'm new here & this is my first post.
Nearly 40 years ago when i was a child i saw a late night horror movie which has stuck in my mind ever since then. I have been trying to track it down for years. OK, this is what i remember: A husband & wife live in a house next door to an old factory or warehouse which may be about 2 or 3 stories high & is very run down. The wife i think may have mental problems & on a stormy night takes a knife from the kitchen of her house & disappears into the night.... The husband franticallly searches the house for her & then sees that a knife is missing from the knife block in the kitchen...he goes out into the storm across the yard that seperates his house from the old warehouse & starts searching through the rooms for his wife. He gets to the top floor where some window shutters are blowing back & forth in the storm, in front of the window is a person in a rocking chair which you can only see from behind & as he approches some lightening flashes & he see's his wife in the rocking chair with her throat cut. That's all i can remember which i know isn't much to go on. I'm kind of sure it was in B&W & may have been from the 1950's or 60's? Any ideas would be most appreciated.

i THIK this is from a british series,well,actually more a miniseries,since i believe there was only 6 episodes taped. the series is called west country stories,it was produced in the early 70's. i saw it on wbz in boston as a preteen,and i bought the disc from an ebay uk seller years ago. i'll get back to you as soon as i find the disc,but i warn you,i have a huge library,and it's a WRECK right now,so it might take me a bit,lol!!! and if i'm wrong,we kill each other,deal?? :wink: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: Title: Re: Old Horror Film (may be B&W) Post by: Louison on September 23, 2013, 09:38:39 AM The description reminds me of "Night Watch", a horror film with Liz Taylor, Laurence Harvey and Billie Whitelaw. But it was in color. It was not a warehouse but an old house on the other side of the street. Check on Wikipedia. I just arrived on the forum so, I cannot yet put links in my posts.
Sorry if I'm wrong. :smile: Title: Re: Old Horror Film (may be B&W) Post by: 316zombie on September 23, 2013, 08:43:33 PM don't apologize,hon,it's usually a process of elimination.:)
