Two flicks

[Gritcake1986]

Hey folks,

Great forum here, exactly what I'm looking for lol

Ok so There are two movies I've been trying to figure out, I used to watch them on occasion when I was little...

1st Movie -

The best I can remember is that a father dies and leaves his wife and kids behind then he is resurrected as a vaccum cleaner or some kind of house hold machine and only the kids know about him until later in the film when the mother discovers him.

2nd Movie -

Sort of like Dark Crystal but there was real life actors in it as well as puppets. I remember a puppet digging up from the center of the earth and then later on he finds a man in a garage or a carpark. The man stops and realizes theres something behind him but when he turns around the puppet shoots around quickly to the other side.

Thats all I remember of both movies, Im guess last 70s or early 80s though I really cant be sure.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Upworld/A Gnome Named Gnorm?

Haven't seen it, but it's the only thing I can think of that fits.

Crazy part is that you can't buy a DVD of it, but Amazon offer a repro poster!

There weren't too many gnome movies - I can remember wanting to see this when it came out, only for it to be off the radar.
