You may recall a post I put in our "What Was That Film?" section a few years ago, where I was asking about a scene I remembered from my childhood, which showed a young man being bombarded by flying cabinet objects while a little demon-thing cackled evilly.
Well, it was solved, and I wasn't notified about it for some odd reason, but just now I found the clip itself. It's from a movie called Tourist Trap. I have no clue still what the hell this movie is about, but this scene still weirded me out after watching it. :bouncegiggle:

I have this DVD. It's about a group of people who stop at a roadside store or motel or something operated by Chuck Connors. There are several killing, mannequins that come to life, and other things that don't make much sense.
I love Tourist Trap! It weirded me out too.
TOURIST TRAP is,in my humble opinion-one of the BEST horror films of the 70's. In Stephan King's book Danse Macabre-he also cites it as a favorite. So yer in good company. "YOUR WORLD IS DARK NOW.." Yikes!
tourist trap = awesome
I'm surprised by how many people like this movie. It's okay . . . and has a few individual scenes that are decent and memorable. But I found it to be often laughable and several parts made me just say, "Huh?" and scratch my head.

That sounds like a bad-movie endorsement to me! I'll have to check this one out.

I bought the DVD a few months back. Some of the mannequin scenes are genuinely creepy and Chuck Conners is pretty creepy himself. This is definitely more enjoyable than some other (more famous) horror flicks. "
why the subsequent downgrade? not to put you on spot here
This is actually on my review queue! Gotta love the rise in popularity of the telekinetic movies after Carrie!
I remember this movie from when I was little and watched the Movie Channel when it was in its infancy. It has a bizarre soundtrack and yes, a lot of headscratching moments.

Uh . . . I was only 43 years old when I wrote that . . . I'm more mature now. Uh . . . the above quote was taken out of context. Uh . . . someone else must have swiped my log-in information and posted that comment. Uh . . . I must have confused this with a different movie called TOURIST TRAP. Uh . . . :teddyr:
It sucks to get caught red-handed with a "flippity-floppity" opinion. Never put anything in writing!!!!
well it wasn't the strongest thumbs up so you have some wiggle room. at any rate, I haven't seen it in a while but I agree with burgomaster circa 07
