I don't remember any part of the title, or anyone who was in it, but it was a movie of the week in the late 70s or early 80s.

 The plot had a man and a woman going to small wooded island to look for a doctor who lived alone there. They find his cabin deserted and if I recall correctly, a human sized & shaped depression in the mud. Soon, they're being attacked by black, slimy figures. Eventually they learn that the doctor was experimenting with creating golems and apparently they killed him. The couple barricade themselves in the cabin, the golems attack, they retreat to the cellar or possibly a storeroom and just when it looks like they're doomed, they discover that salt kills the golems.

 Anyone besides me ever see this?

...................The salt part reminds me of THE DAY OF THE  TRIFFIDS, but of course that was a movie about flesh eating plants.

I remember it vaguely. Don't know what it's called, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again myself.

If we could at least come up with a title, maybe we could track it down.

Sounds exactly what we're all looking for as well.  Here's what I've been posting all around the net, and forgive me if I repost it as a new topic item...:

Help everyone...!  Over at the "I Need To Know" section of imdb.com, a bunch of us are going crazy trying to find the title of a movie, and no amount of searching has been fruitful, yet.

It's most likely a movie, possibly black and white, roughly from the 1970's.

People are up at a cabin partying a guy is either killed or falls into a mud pit and dies and comes back as a mud man.  He attacks the people in the cabin and they fight back slamming the door shut on his arm cutting off the hand.   The lights are off and all of the sudden the hand is crawling up someone's leg and then starts to strangle them.

There might be another a scene with a canoe and the creature attacking from underneath, if we're not confusing it with another movie.

The mud man/monster is sensitive to salt and people seem to remember that that's his downfall, perhaps sizzling like a snail, or leading to a fire at the end.

Movies that are NOT it:

The Creeping Hand
Spawn of the Slithis
Legend of Boggy Creek
Entrails of the Virgin
Swamp Thing
Incredible Melting Man
Friday the 13th movies
Don't Go Into the Woods
Halloween
Any Bigfoot or Sasquatch movies
Norliss Tapes
The Witchmaker
Blob movies
The Bog
Swamp of Lost Monsters
Equinox

Please e-mail me if you have any ideas, or have anything to add to help in the search.  Thanks!

I vaguely remember seeing that as well.  I only remember the part where the golum was trying to get into the cabin and the people were trying to hold the door shut.  The golum's hand got chopped off in the door, and it started crawling around on the floor.  I'm surprised this movie hasn't turned up in one of those Mill Creek DVD sets yet.  Guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed  :teddyr:
