Hiya

My sister and I are desperately trying to track down a film that we saw as kids and it scared the hell out of us. It is an old film, possible fifties or early sixties and the main characters were a woman called Sally and her husband.

Basically they move into an old house and the husband discovers an old furnace/boiler in the basement which is boarded up so he uncovers it - freeing some little goblins who had been imprisoned in there. They only come out when Sally is alone and chant her name rather creepily.

In the end, Sally is carried bodily down to the basement by the goblins and stuffed into the boiler.

Do you have any ideas what th is film is as we would love to see it again?

Hi, Rebecca...

Question... someone sent me a very similar question the other day... was it you? You mention a lot more detail than the other one.. could it have been your sister?

At any rate, I'll tell you the same thing I told that other person.. I'm striking out at every turn with this film... it almost sounds like an episode from one of the anthology shows, like "One Step Beyond" or "The Outer Limits," but I'm not finding anything there, either...

If you could send me a follow-up with your e-mail address, I'll let you know when I find something....

Sorry I couldn't help more...

Thanks for looking anyway. I don't think my sister would have asked as she doesn't have access to the net. Only other info I can give is that the lead actress was blone, film was obviously black and white and I seem to remember it was all set in the house. It was on TV about 14 years ago, although I am in England so this probably won't help you much.

Thanks for trying anyway!

Hi, Rebecca...

I want you to do me a favor.... go to www.imdb.com, and type in the following title into the search engine at the top of the page...

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

This plot summary sounds remarkably like what you are looking for, but I doubt it was in black and white... it was made in 1974...

Give it a look, and I'll keep searching, too...

Let me know if this is it!

This is it!! - Thanks loads. I did leave feedback saying how great you were and everything but can't find it anywhere so I thought I would put something on here just in case you are still searching.

Thanks again

Rebecca

Hi, Rebecca...

Glad I could help with this... and sorry it took me so long... it didn't occur to me to check TV movies because so few TV movies actually try to delve into goblins and demons and such.... shows what I get for trying to overthink the issue, huh?

Thanks for the feedback, too... whenever I can help, just let me know...
