The Blob? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

IIRC, the blob was reddish.<br /><br />Amityville Horror had some black goopy stuff guest starring in the porcelain goddess, but I don't know if it would rate a picture on the box.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Ghoulies (1985) <br /><br />Oh god, I'm sorry I remember that movie.

 

[vagueship]

There is a movie called, "The Green Slime".

Well this is fun. Where are you grooble? It is almost two weeks since we started guessing. Is anyone correct? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[luciusverus]

Maybe he lost the video case and didn't want to admit it....??<br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />

 

[grooble]

I don't know either, that's why i asked. I should have put a ?. <br /><br />I am a fan of 80s horror films but there are several i do not know the name of as i wasn't even 10 years old, all i remember are some scenes or box covers.<br /><br />One film i'd like to remember has this sort of zombie woman, in one scene she is in a hospital coming down a stairwell and she claws some guy, yeah she had giant claw nails.<br /><br />Another film was about monsters that could only be killed with water.

 

[jmilsom]

Oh Sorry. I thought it was one of those 'guess the movie' threads and you would later give us the answer. So do any of....<br /><br />The Blob<br />Amityville Horror<br />Mucus ate my baby<br />It Came From the Sewer<br />Mutant Sewer Rats Invade Earth<br />As Slime Goes By<br />Ghoulies<br />The Green Slime<br />.......ring any bells?<br /><br />(The one about monsters being killed by water wasn't The Wizard of OZ by any chance?<img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I think you are mixing Day of the Triffids with Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the pod people). Triffids did have a scene in lighthouse, but I dont remember how water affected them. music did paralyze them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#993366"><em>The only laws of matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter.</em> <br /> --- James Clerk Maxwell</font></p> </div>

you spoiler! Monolith Monsters is on my list of classics to watch, now you ruined it all. just kidding, I dont mind, they are mineral creatures anyway, so no surprise there. and in any case it was you who put a title on that buried movie memory, so I owe you there (ditto for Kronos, which I rented last year).<br /><br />other movie memories floating in my mind (all creature features):<br /><ul><br /><li>giant critters: octopus, mantis, scorpion, tarantula (all black & white)</li><br /><li>some movie with 10+ feet long, bug-eyed, nasty centipede monsters which lived in the water. there is one "horrifying" scene in which one grabs a scuba diver by the neck with its mandibles, ew! (B & W)</li><br /><li>a movie with evil half-snake people, cobras if I recall correctly (in color)</li><br /><li>a very vague memory of some monsters that looked like turtle shells with a single tentacle or trunk coming out, thru which they sucked people's blood (or was it bones?) (in color)</li><br /></ul> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#993366"><em>The only laws of matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter.</em> <br /> --- James Clerk Maxwell</font></p> </div>

The Tenctonese did not like salt water either. Seems they could be tricked into drinking it . . . <br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

ah, glad you caught this one ZeroGeezus, I also owe you for helping me recover some movie titles from my distant chilhood (<i>Alone in the Dark</i> and <i>Quatermass and the Pit</i>, both of which I have since rented as part of my media nostalgia archeology project). there <b>was</b> a forest scene in that movie, I recall one of the creatures falling on some poor victim from a tree. as for it being British, I watched it dubbed in spanish, but some vague memories of the characters' garments suggest you could be right. I will research further, thank you. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#993366"><em>The only laws of matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter.</em> <br /> --- James Clerk Maxwell</font></p> </div>
