Does anybody know this horror movie I saw as a child????

[Xipe Totec]

I remember it was something about a sceleton. When the sceleton got wet, it started growing flesh on it...... it starred some elderly horror-actor seen in another movie I can`t remember......about some monster in the attic


And there`s one more movie I can`t remember.......this one was made of 4 short horror stories...I`ll say as much as I can remember (in random order).......one was the classic "Twilight zone"`s "monster on the wing of a plain".......one of some kid being a tiger, or somethig, ...................... one of some man bringing a killer tree into his home...... and the fourth I don`t remember .............

Does anybody know anything about these movies ??????
I`d be pretty happy if I got to know more about these movies

[Lord Crumb]

THE CRAWLING FLESH with Chris Lee and Peter Cushing is the first one.
Not too sure about the anthology, tho...

[The Arrow]

The anthology is "Twillight Zone The Movie".

[KillerKlown]

The story about the Gremlin on the wing of a plane belongs to 'Twilight Zone The Movie' (As Arrow has already said).

But the one about the boy & the Tiger and the man bringing the killer tree into his home are from 'Tales That Witness Madness', which is set in an asylum housing four patients and we learn what happened to them....blah blah.

[Xipe Totec]

ahhh, maby I messed some things up, but thank you guys !

A kid and a tiger? Didn't Stephen King write a short story similar to that about a kid who sees a tiger that no one else does?

[Ash28m]

The first one goes my the name of The Creeping Flesh I'm not sure if the Crawling flesh is an alternitive title.

Not sure if it was King or not, but the title, I believe, was "Here There Be Tigers."

[Xipe Totec]

Yeah, I searched the web and found nothing about Crawling Flesh, but found pretty much about Creeping Flesh, which seemed right.........

and yes...now its somehow coming back to me......it was about a kid who saw a tiger no one else saw. But it was definetly in the same anthology with the tree story, though I have no idea about the rest of the stories....

[PhantomOfTheParadise]

Oh wow - Here There Be Tigers is a story by King I believe, I don't remember exactly which anthology of stories it appears in, but I know I have it.

[PhantomOfTheParadise]

I did some searching and found that there was an epside of the Ray Bradbury Theatre entitled Here There Be Tygers...perhaps that's what you saw.

UPDATE --- forget what I just posted - it's not the same story.

[Donnie Darko]

"Here There Be Tigers" is indeed a Stephen King short story from the "Night Shift" anthology. Also, it is apparently a short film...

I don't remember a Ray Bradbury Theatre episode of that title, but I do remember the one where the children have like a holodeck kind of thing in their home, and the bring lions back to eat their parents.

[KillerKlown]

Here's a link to the film I was talking about in an earlier post 'Tales That Witness Madness': HERE (http://members.fortunecity.com/roogulator/horror/witnessmadness.htm)

The story in this film about the boy and the tiger is based on a short story by Ray Bradbury called 'The Veldt' out of his anthology 'The Illustrated Man'. This film also includes the killer tree - where none other than Joan Collins practises her bitchy skills towards a tree stump and is eventually killed by it and her husband ends up carving it into a woman shape....

Xipe Totec, can you remember the stories about a time traveller on a penny farthing and a story about a tribal leader killing a woman's daughter and serving her up for a feast to mark his coming of age?? - These are both in the same film.

Well, actually I don`t remember those stories, but I also remember I had little problems with watching it. Being my grandparents (!), who found after the tiger story it being too scary for me to whatch (I personally didn`t think so) and turned the tv off..... Maby I didn`t see those other stories, but now I`m pretty sure it is the movie I meant

[Xipe Totec]

Yeah, but I probably looked more of the movie secretly when my grandparents left the room...

[Xipe Totec]

But does anybody know the movie about a monster in the attic I mentioned earlier?

[KillerKlown]

Well, Peter Cushing was in 'The Creeping Flesh', and the film I remember with a monster in the attic that starred the same actor was called 'The Ghoul', which also had a young John Hurt in it....

The film was about his cannibal son who is locked in an attic room and is let out at night to slaughter any guests staying in the house and is then fed bits of them by the indian housemaid.

[KillerKlown]

Oh, forgot to mention that in the US, this film may have gone under the title: 'The Thing In The Attic'.

Hope this helps!

[Xipe Totec]

Yes it does, thanx !

[Spitfire]

Donnie Darko is slightly wrong here.
"Here There Be Tygers" is indeed a short story by Stephen King, but it did not feature in the NIGHT SHIFT book.
It was in the SKELETON CREW book. I know this as a fact cos' I purchased it the other day.

[allmistakes]

at first i thought that the twilight zone movie you were talkin about i was thinking creepshow, and i had no idea about the first one, just glad that u found them out

Heh, you´re way off, bro !!!!!

[Scully1888]

No, I know I am, I was just thinking of Frank eating Julia's victims to grow his own flesh. And he was in the attic. And he was pretty skeleton-like at one point.

So, I know I'm wrong, but I'm not exactly way off. Surely you can see where I'm coming from? :)

Ah, I am eternally grateful. Finally I've found someone on the internet that knows what a "wide-o" is. :D
