The only case i can remember of somebody getting walled up in a basement was Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". In your memory, was the victim wearing a jester's costume with bells on his hat, that were the last things the killer heard as he plastered in the last brick?

the current contest is 25 hours and counting... do we want to consider 1 vote wins until the semi finals?

How does one vote on this damned thing?

wolf · 05-29-2005, 08:43 AM

One waits until the latest contest is posted and states ones choice.

(I'm going to be missing out on anything happening today because I have two parties to go to. Damn, but I'm popular.)

We're are currently doing a best 2 out of 3 format.

Another film that contains a scene of being walled up alive is an adaptation of "The Pit and the Pendulum". I forget who directed, but it does have graphic torture scenes, and gratuitous nudity. Overall I gave it a thumbs down due to sucky storyline and bad special effects but if you're a fan of that genre, have at it. The walling up of the bishop was pretty good and managed to strike a chord with the claustrophobic in me.

The reason I asked about the walled up thing, is I saw a movie when I was 7-9ish. Scared the be-jesus out of me. But all I remember now is:
1) A new couple movie into an old house
2) Them opening up an old fireplace (in the basement?) and wondering why it was bricked up.
3) The villians were, like, 10" tall and hated the light.
4) They end up dragging the women in the film back into the fireplace and she turns into one of them. She attempted to fend them off with a flash camera.

I have yet to find out what that movie was called.

wolf · 05-29-2005, 11:34 AM

Oh damn. I saw that.

I can't remember the title either.

Happy Monkey · 05-29-2005, 11:48 AM

Was it this?

wolf · 05-29-2005, 11:57 AM

For some reason I recall a blonde british woman rather than kim darby, but I would have seen it in the early 70s, so my recall may be fading ...

That could be. I remember the rope thing, I think.

I also remember the ending:
They re-brick the fireplace and as the camera zooms out from the house you hear the whispering voices of the little demons and then her voice saying "We have time. We have all the time in the world..."

Times Up!
Pet Sematary wins.

Exorcist 3

wolf · 05-30-2005, 07:29 PM

Abstain.

(Was Exorcist 3 the one with the bees, or the one actually based on Legion by William Peter Blatty?)
