I need help identifying something I saw years ago, and to this day I don't know if it was real or just a dream; I don't know if it was a TV series, movie, or short film.

I'm trying to identify a movie, short film, anthology episode, or possibly a viral video that I watched some time ago.

What I remember:

- It was live-action and had a horror/suspense atmosphere.

- An elderly man was driving a black vintage car, something very similar to a Ford Model T (or another car from the 1920s–1930s).

- The man wore a dark coat and a hat. I do not remember him having a beard.

- A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car. I got the impression that the boy had been abducted or taken somewhere against his will.

- During the journey, it began to snow progressively as they continued down the road.

- The elderly driver started becoming younger as the trip continued.

- At the same time, the boy rapidly aged. I specifically remember his hands looking older and his teeth falling out.

- The man never physically touched the boy. The aging/rejuvenation seemed to happen automatically during the trip.

- Eventually they arrived at a gated location with large iron gates.

- I strongly remember a sign above the gate that said either "Neverland" or possibly "Welcome to Neverland," but I could be mistaken about the exact wording.

- The scene felt dark, eerie, and dreamlike rather than action-oriented.

I've already checked several Peter Pan/Neverland adaptations and couldn't find a match. It may have been a short film, an indie production, a proof-of-concept, an anthology episode, or even a viral video from YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, or Vimeo.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I’m trying to identify an older movie or TV episode (probably from the 1950s–1970s) that my Philosophy professor showed us around 2014–2016

It wasn’t horror. It felt more like The Twilight Zone—thought-provoking rather than scary.
I remember:
A woman and (I think) one man.
A large, dark mansion with strange, visually interesting rooms.
The woman seemed confused about reality, perception, or possibly time.
The strongest memory I have is a black-and-white circular/spiral (almost roulette-wheel-like) floor or room. I vaguely remember it seeming to spin or somehow crack, but I’m less certain about that detail.
I remember leaving class thinking, “Whoa, that was really cool,” not scared.
It may have been in color, but if so it was older color (1960s/70s). It also could have been a short film or an anthology TV episode rather than a full movie.

[talk] Show or Movie where Dad "grounds son" and makes son live under the yard as punishment.

Hey all, every so often a distant memory comes into my head of a movie or show where a kid gets in trouble and his dad "grounds him" and makes him live under the back or front yard.

I can never find this via Google and no one I talk to remembers this.

I have faint memories of this and can swear I've seen a show or movie with this in it.

If anyone can help I'll be eternaly grateful!

Thanks!

Seeking a Movie

Hello,

I am a fan of random horror and saw a movie a while back on a streaming service and I need help with the name of it.

The movie starts off in a cold country backwood setting. A couple are together. The boyfriend gets killed and the woman is captured by two brothers who have a deformed third brother. They breed the female and later another couple stumbles on the area and trouble ensues for them.

The girl finds the captive woman who is pregnant. She has had her tongue cut out as well and the girl frees her only for the captive woman to stab her own belly and dies.

The chase begins and one brother is killed, their father shows up in a tow truck at some point as well I think. The girl tries to escape in a truck but is shot by a shotgun and the deformed brother jumps in and starts I guess to eat her. The movie ends at that point.

Searching has turned up nothing. And it isn't Dying Breed.

Help me find this movie I saw a clip of years ago.

I am looking for a movie or tv show, probably released anywhere from ~1980s-2000s, maybe earlier.

I am going to be honest and say I don't remember too much, because I only saw a few seconds of it.

I saw it on TV. I don't remember exactly when, but I’d say ~2007-2009.

What I remember from it is a woman screaming, and the skin on her face melting/fading (closest words I could think of to describe it) away to bone/skull while the screaming continued (one long, continued scream). If I recall correctly, the skin disappeared in a way that is reminiscent of 90s-2000s cgi. I remember the camera angle gave it the look of when a random person on the street is interviewed on the news, and I thought at the time it might’ve been some weird news interview. The woman I would guess was ~40s-60s in age.

From my recollection, I would certainly call it horror or something of the sorts. Certainly not the type of thing a kid should see (which I, myself, was at the time).

==Edit==

If I recall correctly, the camera shot was from her stomach up (think standard profile picture camera angle). She was wearing a fur coat (or some kind of coat I think), and it was just her face/head that was uncovered and turned from skin to bone.

Help me find this movie.

I’m looking for a movie (or possibly tv show) I saw on tv ~2006-2007.

Probably anywhere from ~1980s-2000s, maybe earlier.

I’d say almost certainly in the horror genre.

All I remember was a woman (maybe a guy with her too) in a dark room (or some big sized place, like a warehouse). There’s a bunch of small-ish things (bugs, insects, or snakes) in the room (I can’t remember if they fell from above or if they were there the whole time). I believe she tried to stay quiet but then she started screaming and the bugs/insects/snakes started crawling all over her and covering her.

Unfortunately that’s all I remember.

[TV Episode/Movie][1990s-2000s] Halloween Movie/anthology?

Hi there,

This has stuck with me for years because I have no clue what movie or show it is.

I’m trying to identify a horror anthology episode or TV movie from around the 1990s/early 2000s. It was in color and had a Halloween setting. There were scenes of people walking between houses, like trick-or-treating or a neighborhood party.
A teenage boy had killed his parents and hid them near the front door. I believe they were dressed up (possibly in Halloween costumes) and propped upright on freestanding coat racks/coat trees so they were hidden in plain sight.
At the end, a friend/guest accidentally bumped into them, and both bodies fell over at the same time, revealing the surprise. It was fairly graphic and had an anthology horror feel, felt like the era of when Final destination came out (possibly Tales from the Crypt, Freddy’s Nightmares, Monsters, Tales from the Darkside, etc.).
Does anyone recognize this?

Movie I watched once and it disappeared

Please help me find the name of this movie I watched a few years back. It’s been a while so I will try to give all the details I can remember

  1. One of the main characters is a young woman. I believe she is a dancer or ballerina.

  2. Other main character is a young man, kind of dorky/odd ball.

  3. He is obsessed with the woman but she doesn’t give him the time of day.

  4. He ends up kidnapping her and locking her in the basement of his grandmothers house.

  5. He kills his grandma at one point I think so she doesn’t find out the girl is in the basement.

  6. The 2 main characters go on a “date” inside the house and she ends up sleeping with him.

  7. There is a scene of them walking together outside in the woods and I think she tries to runaway.

  8. I watched the movie on Tubi or maybe Roku channel
    Once and never saw it again.

Please help if you know it!

What's that movie where there's an amnesia twist and she's the killer?

I watched this when I was a kid, before 2012 I believe but I can't think any more detailed than knowing I wasn't in high school yet.

Main character is a young woman, probably 18ish because I remember she went off to university. I think it's set in America. Something happened in her past and the movie seemed to lead us to think it was her [sister? friend?] And this person might have been at university with her. She visits home and I think she argues with family about what happened. Things are murky and there's a dramatic reveal that either the friend was never real or she repressed something major. Turns out either she killed someone, someone never existed, or the university was actually a psych ward maybe?

I don't think this movie is very famous, I've never seen it since. I'm English and I think I would've watched it one night on the horror channel, syfy, or film4.

I realise this is all very vague, I'm sorry. This is all I can remember.

This old High School drama that started with Michael Jackson's "I want you back"

I don't remember a whole lot about this movie, but I do remember the beginning of the film from high school, and it was likely taking place in the 80s or something. I hear the instrumentals of "I want you back" by Michael Jackson in the beginning as school students were walking around going to classes and doing their thing. IIRC, the school is filled with problematic students. There's one female teacher that gets into it with a male belligerent student and she threatens to "kick him in the pants" and then he finally calms down. It's been almost 30 years since I've seen this and I barely remember it. I tried using AI (yuck) out of desperation, and nothing came up. Only movies that didn't even have the music or that scene in it at all.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Please help me find a movie which i’ve been trying to find for years.

I’ve been trying to find a movie for years now in which I can remember 3 possibly 4 scenes from which I watched from before I moved house 5 years ago so I would’ve been at most 10 but probably between to ages of 5-9. It wouldn’t have been over rated 15 (UK) because I watched it with my dad.
These are the scenes I can remember from it. Take this with an extreme pinch of salt as they are very hazy.

  1. The main character is a guy, white, possibly mexican or italian american young adult. In this scene he is in a diner/restaurant kinda thing where he is talking to a woman similar to his age. She may be a waitress there or just a person. I am unaware if he knew her prior to this meeting.
  2. This movie is set in the US, most likely in the west due to the geography I can (VERY HAZILY) remember from this movie. The diner scene may have been in Las Vegas, or atleast younger me may have thought it was Las Vegas but it could have been any place, not even a big city or town. In this scene the guy has travelled (maybe??) to meet said girl in a summer camp/school where she is working/volunteering. I can’t remember much about the scene only the summer camp may have been for special needs kids (or not) and it was situated in this canyon/valley area which had vibrant green vegetation. I am pretty sure this was also in America and that he doesn’t leave the country in the movie. I can vaguely remember him taking to atleast one of the kids in the camp, he MAY HAVE worn a blue t-shirt/polo but I am unsure.
  3. Note the scenes after this may have been from a different movie but im pretty sure they were from this one.
  4. The guy (main character) is in a Motel/Hotel, with (presumably) the same lady from the diner and summer camp/school in an area which I can sort of remember looking like the hills in rural California. What I am about to tell you now is a very hazy memory and may have not even been in the movie: Some happens with orange juice or like an orange juice looking alcoholic drink - Younger me may have thought it was orange juice. I think it was that they noticed that it wasn’t in the fridge, or it may have been on the table or something. Anyway, the Motel room they are staying in gets shot up or something, or a dangerous person is near, but the guy is put in immediate danger and has to leave. I am not sure if the lady comes with him.
  5. Immediately after this scene, a car chase ensues down a road which is a mountain type of road which zig-zags down the side of the hill. I cannot remember if it was a police chase, or if the main character gets away or not.

I am not sure of the genre.
Sorry for bad grammar and the all over the place-ness of this post, I was in a rush.
Anything would help towards me finding this movie.
It was likely made in between the 80s-00s.

Please help me find this movie.

I’m looking for a particular show/series but only remember a scene of it

There was a scene where iirc someone with super power goes to some sort of underground tunnel when is stress/under pressure and he vents out by punching a metal wall causing it to form a bowl like shape (sorry if it’s the wrong word I’m not sure what it’s called) and after some time (whether by flash forward or some episode later. Don’t remember which) it shows them doing the same thing but the holes had increased showing passage of time and growing frustration. Does anyone remember where this is from?

Nerdy(?) male character repeating “I am clever”

I watched this movie years ago but can not put an exact face to the character or remember a single other thing from this movie other than a skinnier, nerdy (I think) male character repeating “I am cleverrrrr” a bunch of times in a funny voice. I feel like he was with a friend or two and someone told him to shut up or stop saying that. My boyfriend remembers this part of the movie as well and we have both jokingly quoted this for years but can not for the life of us think of what it is from lol. Apologies for little to no context! If this prompts any questions that could help solve this, let me know!

An old tv show on youtube with a kid in it and a villians are like team rocket from pockemon

I'm looking for a 3D CGI cartoon I watched on YouTube around 2016–2019. The main character was a young boy wearing red, with no kid sidekick. He secretly kept small metallic robots that transformed into vehicles and humanoid robots. One of them was a blue submarine. The villains were three goofy henchmen working for a boss, similar to Team Rocket. I remember an episode with a giant frog and a season finale at a shipping container port. Pls help me find this tv show. and it is probably a not popular show like turning mecard and tobot

does anyone know the name of this western movie?

hi! I'm sorry but i just remember one scene from this western movie and I'm not sure about the rest unfortunately (I'm afraid in fact I'm mixing up 2 movies so I'll only describe the one scene I'm sure about). one of the characters is a young man with dark hair who's clean shaven and i think worked in a print house but I'm not sure.i just remember he likely wore sleeve protectors. in a scene he and a young woman are having a heartwarming conversation at night about universe and whatnot. in another scene which happens during the daytime there's a fight outside a building (probably his workplace). a cowboy hits the guy , he fell and the girl goes to help him. the protagonist (a rough looking middle aged man who's dressed like your typical hero in a western movie) goes to help by fighting the attacker and wins the fight. i remember everyone in town was amazed by how well the guy fought. i remember in this scene he dropkicks the guy by hanging from a roof beam (more than once i think). thank you.

A horror movie or animation with a dark/red sky?

When I was younger I saw a horror movie that had a man with his mouth open and sharp teeth on the cover. When the movie started, I think it was some kind of animation of a character walking through the city, like a platform game setting, but animated, you know? The sky was dark or red, and there were houses in the primary scenery. Does anyone know the name of this movie or animation?

Looking for an animated movie whose title I don't remember

Here's one more movie quandary I got: I remember watching a probable direct-to-video animated movie with (probably) anthropomorphic animals as characters. Kind of a fantasy movie, sort of like The Neverending Story, but animated. The overall vibe of the movie was cheery and colorful, but then it took a somewhat dark turn later on.

There's this one scene that I remember: the characters are on a boat on a dark river and they end up in some dark place (dark as in creepy). I don't remember anything else from that point on. Anybody has any idea what it might've been?

I think it might've been Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, but I'm not sure. Anyone remembers anything similar?
