Describe a cheesy B-movie from your childhood in two sentences or less.
You know, those shit movies that they would play on a Saturday afternoon.

Please list the title with a brief description. Run-ons & fragments gladly accepted.

EXAMPLES:

A) "THE CAR" A giant possessed black Car kills people by running them over. The CAR drives into a giant pit to hell or something at the end & explodes like Jaws.


B) "ROLLERCOASTER" Some psycho guy goes to amusement parks & tries to blow up rollercoasters. He watches the rollercoasters with binoculars & I think he gets run over by a rollercoaster at the end.



OK, your turn :7

1. KILLDOZER.
Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 10:34 PM by NightTrain
A made-for-TV turkey in which a bulldozer controlled by belligerent extraterrestrials goes on a murder rampage. Damned if I can remember why, though!

Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 11:13 PM by HeyManThatsCool
"When a Stranger Calls" came out in 79.

Girl is babysitting 2 kids- & starts geting calls where the guy says "Have you checked the children"? Eventually she calls the cops & the call is traced------- coming from inside the house.



Seriously, I couldnt babysit for like 2 years.
