  • horror TV series late 80s, please help me remember!

    please help me im trying to remember a horror tv series i watched when i was young. it would have been late 80s or even early 90s. it starts off showing you the house and it zooms in and lights up or turns red. in one of the episodes the father drinks a glass of water that has what i remember as a ball or marble inside it and he swallows it. he then becomes posesed with a demon, and its v.scary!! in another episode one of the children (who wears braces) is attacked and runs into the bathroom. she looks in the mirror and her braces in her mouth start expanding all over her face and she tears at it and pulls it off!! sounds strange but it was scary at the time. does anyone recognise this or have any idea what it was?? any ideas are welcome!!! thanks

    Something like this happened in Poltergeist 2, but it was a boy it happened to (I dunno..kids these days! You can't tell whether they're boys or girls! )

    YouTube - Poltergeist 2 - Wild Braces Scene

    Though something is telling me it may be "Eerie Indiana" as it was incredibly plagiaristic.... though brilliant nonetheless

      Or... could it be...

      Monsters (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      "monsters" was shown on the sci-fi channel in the early 90s and, from what I have just read elsewhere, the opening credits started in space, zoomed onto a street, then the house.... couldn't find a reference to the house lighting up or glowing, though.

      Unfortunately, I can't find any clip on Youtube as typing the word "monsters" into the search bar just brings up loads of "Monsters inc" clips and special effects stuff.

      Hope this helps?

        Ok... I didn't look hard enough. In between "Monsters Inc" and that film about the lesbian serial killer lol....

        YouTube - Monsters: TV Series Theme

        Is this it?

            No worries

            The annoying thing is... the more I think about it, the more I'm sure I have seen the thing you are talking about!

                  Could it be this scene Carol? Also from Poltergeist 2, it's the worm from a bottle of Tequila he drinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNKQwSqgP38

                    yes i think it might be this scene. think i am possibly getting two different films mixed up! the house that glows red must be from something else. thanku for finding that

                        Hi, I don't know if you're still looking for the tv series with the house, but it does sound like The Outer Limits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I7vPbthvWo

                        or even Tales From the Darkside? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peIcvwpmaCg

                        Both great series you should check out if you haven't already!

                          Unnatural Causes ....a series on ITV had a child's drawing of a house in the titles. A slow zoom towards it revealed a flower in the window wilting away and then all the windows turned black....Plinky spooky piano tune accompanied this. I never actually watched any of the serials but those titles were unsettling and I remember them well.... Could this be the one?
