Name that film – 3
Wow, people must think I know what I’m doing around here…yikes! Another “help me remember this film” email…
Anybody recognize this?
“he’s a short guy, about four foot tall, I believe he’s actually a puppet. Sort of like Chuckie, same sort of camera work, showing the legs when he walks/runs.
I think he looks similar to the Cryptkeeper but not so dead and he’s still got skin, also he’s dressed like a butler, definately a black suit of some sort.
There’s a big house (aint there always lol) a couple of guys playing teens but are actually older with the whole bad hair thing.
A black car which might be a hearse, but it could also be muscle car for all I know but it is definately black.
I remember there were scenes where the guys and the butler were wearing dark sunglasses.
It came out sometime between 1986 and 1993 (just guessing there)
No ideas on the plot, sorry. Probably something like house 2, gotta stop the bad/evil/super evil guy from winning.”
Phantasm or one of its sequels?
Im the one behind this question.
Its definately not the phantasm series nor the house series as I already have both of these.
This is driving me nuts because I can see the poster — two teenagers, a ventriloquist’s dummy, the car and all against the huge face of a clock.
@Adam k-I think you might be onto it. Just need a title, even one of the actors or the directors name would help to narrow it down some.
I remember a scene where one of the teens is visiting his girlfriend at work and he tell the “dummy” butler dude to stay in the car, which he obviously doesnt do.
I forgot to mention that the dummy is not the villian incase anybody was thinking of “Dead Silence”
Waxworks?
Just went on youtube to refresh my memory with the trailer, its not waxwork nor is it the sequel lost in time (both great movies though)
Ahah! Is it Ghost Chase (1987?) Directed by Roland Emmerich, of all people.

Whew — that was driving me nuts.
Good one… Case Closed
