Hey there. Useful Resource!
First post:
Been trying to find this for years as I never saw it as a kid. I found this at a videostore I used to go to between 1988-1990, but I believe the film was released sometime between 1980-1989. All I remember is the artwork for the VHS, being a kid (probably a boy) in front of shattered mirror (possibly) in which was a humanoid monster: sharp teeth, scaly Klingon-esque forehead with a third eye (possibly, again). I've tried a million searches over the years, but I can't seem to find anything. Help me see this movie, I think it's the one that got away!
Thanks!
Could it be DEM0N WIND?

What about "Making Contact" (1985)?

maybe plutonium baby
Nope, for both of those. And again, very cool films which I need to check out...
Another hint: I believe a 'talisman' of some sort was involved as well.
Aw, geez. I suddenly know exactly the movie box you're talking about. But I can't think of the title! :hatred:
I'm pretty sure it was a Charles Band movie, so you may want to search for Full Moon Productions video boxes.
Long shot but this popped into my head.
