  • can anyone name this TV horror film?

    In the late 70's or early 80's I saw a horror film - I think American and possibily a trilogy. One of the tales i remember best was about a women who was so awful to her son, "Charlie" (I think that was the boys name) that in the end I think he took his own life. the mother was devasted and remorseful - so much so that she resorted to witchcraft to bring her son back to life. Days later he turned up at the door out of the blue, BUT he was different - he grew nastier and more and more evil and uncontrolable as time went on until one night, which happened to be a particularily hellish and stormy night, the mother, in a fit of anguish said to him "where is the Charlie I once knew" - or something like that, and the boy sitting at the top of the stairs had changed into a demon whilst being illuminated in a flash of lightening replied, in a demonic voice "Charlie didn't wanna' come, so he sent me instead !" ...

    Has anyone seen this movie and does it ring any bells? Would like to find out its title.

    Remembered a bit more - I think they lived by the sea and he killed himself by drowning himself in the sea. After the mother had performed the witchcraft ceremony to bring him back to life he was found washed up on the beach - soaking wet but alive ...

    ... and I know it wasn't super Nanny ! ...

            Hell yeah i remember that one. The scene at the end with him slowly descending the stairs scared me as a kid. I'm a little cautious of watching it again though in case it's pants.
