Hello! I have four mysteries bouncing around in my head for decades. I'm hoping someone can lead me to the answer to at least one of them! Third one:

Seen in the 80's on a Saturday afternoon on a show called 'Superhost', a show where a man dressed as superman hosted B-movies after the morning cartoon blocks. I remember always getting excited when he hosted a Godzilla movie, but old horror and sci-fi movies were common.

I seem to remember him calling this movie 'Dracula's Dog'. Google immediately leads me to Zoltan: Hound of Dracula from 1977, but I don't think this is the movie. For one, the movie I remember was in black-white and had special effects more reminiscent of the 50's. When the dog "transformed", it was where they froze the frame and did a slow cross-fade between the two.

The other thing I remember distinctly because it was so ridiculous to me was 'Dracula's Dog' was I believe a little black Schnauzer! When he 'transformed' they gave him fangs.

That's all I can remembers of this one unfortunately.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Also seen in the 80's on one of the 'premium' cable channels (HBO, TMC, Showtime, Cinemax - don't remember which one).

This one had hardcore 'Of Mice and Men' vibes if Steinbeck's masterpiece was written by a schlock shock-script writer in the 70's/80's. The movie was set in the year it was filmed (70's perhaps). Color. There were two villains in the movie. A big man who was mentally slow (i.e. 'Lennie') and a thin, greasy looking man with a hillbilly accent (i.e. 'George'). The thin man was the psychopath of the pair.

I "think" the movie was set up where the thin man was actually captured and in custody and most of the movie is him retelling the horrors he committed and the people he killed. I seem to remember police walking him through a field to find where he hid one of his victim's bodies. He was in an orange jumpsuit and chains in the scene.

I remember he and the large man were posing as wandering handymen, and went to their victim's houses offering to do some work to get some money to get by, trying to appeal to a sense of compassion. They tended to pick older men and women as their victims. One scene where the victim was an older woman (in her late 40's/50's). They agreed to fix something. The thin man ordered the large man to go do it while he and the woman sat and talked in the kitchen. Time went by and when the woman decided to go check on the large man's progress, she found him rooting through her wardrobe instead, at which point, the ruse as up and the thin man jumped her and overpowered her. They tied her to the bed face down. The larger man then raped her and during it, the thin man who was more into killing, slit her throat.

I believe another scene was they overpowered an old man (in his 70's old) and beat him to death with extreme violence, and the thin man was grinning and laughing at each bloody punch.

I don't remember any more of this one, but those scenes stick out in my head. It was a very grindcore/gritty/gruesome shock movie, typical of the time.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Seen sometime in the 80's on Cinemax. Movie was probably 70's or early 80's. It was typical 'shock thriller' that was common on that channel at the time. It was either a detective or revenge (or both) movie where they're trying to hunt down a serial rapist (and possible killer, I don't remember).

One scene early in the movie stuck with me and kinda traumatized me a bit as a kid since it was so graphic. I'm pretty sure the movie was rated R. It was shown on a weekend afternoon of all times.

Two women are in some apartment, I think roommates. One's a blonde, one had dark hair. The villain had this highly technical/prepared modus operandi. He started by sliding a plastic tube under the door of the apartment hooked to a gas cylinder and gassing it, causing the two women to collapse. Entering, he next had these tubes filled with white power - some kind of drugs, that were corked on each end. He uncorked them and blew the powder up the women's noses to incapacitate them but keep them conscious.

I remember he started with the blonde then. I think there was a scene where he used a pair of scissors to cut up the front of her top to reveal her bra. I don't remember any nudity. The scene switches to the dark haired woman who is laying on the floor and the phone suddenly rings. The villain doesn't intend to answer of course.

The dark haired women in her drugged state crawled over to the phone while the villain is busy with her roommate. I don't know if it was on the floor with her or if she pulled it off the table by grabbing the cord, but the phone (I think an old Bell model) is on the floor and the handset is off the hook and she crawled up to cry for help, but then, you see the villain's finger come down and press down on the call-hook to hang up the phone to her horror.

The scene ends and I believe the next scene is her sitting in a police station, possibly with a blanket wrapped around her giving her account of what happened. Her blonde room mate I think is either in the hospital.

As I said, shock-horror-thriller. I don't remember anything else about this one, but that scene was so graphic, it burned into my neurons.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Seen in the 80's, though the movie was probably from the 60's-70's. Seen late at night on the "Big Chuck and Little John" show which aired in Cleveland Ohio and showed B-movies with skits and community announcements during the commercial breaks.

Sci-fi movie, color. I don't remember the plot but I remember some scenes. A man who I believe was all alone on some space station or ship with three robots. The robots were kinda trapezoidal shaped and waddled around on two feet. They were all different colors and I think were just named #1, #2 and #3. I think the colors were red, blue and yellow.

There station/ship they were on had these huge geodesic garden domes. Like a botanical garden in space and the man and the robots maintained them.

I remember a scene where they were going through "the rings of Saturn" or something and one of the robots was outside the station/ship and was hit by a rock or something. The scene after, the man is mourning the robot's loss and all they had left of him was one of the legs. It was a sad scene since the robots were arguably cute (especially to a young kid)

That's all I can remember of this one.
Thank you for any suggestions!

Quick question. Does the memory core feature of Megumin Suite support using a vector database backend like qdrant? Just curious. It's something I'm currently using with VectorFox and have been impressed with it.
