horror movie curtains
Can you tell me the name of this 70-80’s horror movie?
Does anyone know the name of this horror movie? ( I graduated in 1981, so it was before Silent Night Deadly Night.)
In the late 70’s or early 80’s, our school showed a horror movie for a reward to the high school (I know, these days that would never happen…a horror movie!). It had different little stories in it. One had a girl that opened her shade or curtains at night and a guy dressed as Santa Claus was looking in at her right at the window. It freaked my older sis so much that she made me check the bedroom every night for her. Any recollections older answerers?

Christmas Evil (1980, aka Terror in Toyland, You Better Watch Out)
A warm, family film about a foreman in the Jolly Dream Toy Factory who understands the true meaning of Christmas. Understandably upset by the crass commercialism he sees everywhere, he dresses up as Santa one Christmas and sets out to reward good little boys and girls — and punish the naughty ones!
Luckily, he knows who they are — He’s been keeping tabs, watching all the neighborhood tots from his window. Sure are a lot of naughty folks out there!
A tender heart-warming ending reminiscent of Art Carney’s Santa Claus in the Twilight Zone.
One of the film’s log lines: “Better Watch Out… Better Not Cry… Or You May DIE!”
Is this it??

Psycho: The Complete Original Motion Picture Score $11.63 Much has been made of composer Bernard Herrmann’s choice to use only razor-sharp, slashing strings for his score to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. And heaven knows it works like a dream (or a nightmare), the music feeling as edgy and colorless as the noir-ish black-and-white photography. But as noticeably effective as the knife-screeching violins are in the famous shower scene (followed by thos… |

Curtains Samantha Sherwood has worked with the well-known director Jonathan Stryker on all his major films. She naturally assumes she has been given the title role in his latest venture, “Audra”. He tells her that she nn needs to do some background research on the part, so arranges to have her committed to an asylum (as Audra is a former psychiatric patient). She goes along with this, not realising that he… |

Star Trek – The Original Series, Episode 77: The Savage Curtain [VHS] $6.76 Perhaps best known as the episode in which Abraham Lincoln is seen, rather absurdly, floating through space in a big ol’ presidential chair, “The Savage Curtain” is one of those death-match shows in which a busybody alien wants to witness true human(oid) mettle in an arranged battle. Lincoln asks Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to accompany him to a planet where Excal… |
