OK, I believe it was from either the mid or early eighties and I only have three scenes that I can visualize, but those scenes have stuck with me for quite sometime. In scene one I believe a boy climbs the roof of a house to retrieve a frisbee or maybe a ball of some kind, boy falls off and dies and it somehow implies maybe his sister had something to do with it. Scene two has the same girl walking up a staircase while running a pizza cutter along the wall. And in scene three the little girl enters a bathroom while an older sister or maybe even her mother is taking a bath, she then takes a radio and throws it in the tub thus electrocuting her. Any ideas?

Its the movie called "Don't Go To Sleep". I knew this sounded very familiar when you described it.

A while back someone else asked about a movie with a girl running a pizza cutter up or down the stairs.
I always remember that film as "The Babysitter".

Here's the link to the old thread:

I could be wrong though.

Awesome! Don't Go to Sleep has to be it. It's amazing that I remember that much about the details of a film that aired when I was only three years old, but I also remember thinking that if my mother caught me watching this she'd be really upset with me. It's surprising they could air stuff this wild in primetime back then.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!   I've been searching for this film title for ages, since remembering it from when I was a kid (truly scared me!).  Now I just need to track down a copy!



double feature

Yes Neon Zombie the movie you are looking for is Dont Go To Sleep(1982).Starring Dennis Weaver and Valerie Bertinelli.With all those scenes that you mentioned except dennis Weaver was the lucky reciepeint of the electrocution by radio bath and dont forget the scene where the girls shoes are tied at the beggining in the car.Classic made for TV horror.
