I was convinced I was crazy (shush, I know I'm crazy), because for most of my adolescence and adult life, I've been trying to remember the name of a movie I'd seen on TV when I was a kid. I remember the tag line/whatever it's called when the commercial previews were on..."Mary thinks there's something under the bed. Mary may be right." I remember the scene with the car accident, the part where the brother falls from the roof, when the mom drops the watermelon on the floor, the creepy scene where the girl is rolling a pizza cutter along a banister, the hairdryer (or radio maybe?) when the dad was taking a bath...and the final scene when the mom looks up from her bed to see her creepy dead daughter standing there saying, "Hi Mommy."
SO creepy.
Since my memories of the move were so fragmented, I figured I must have seen it in early elementary school. But today, after looking for something else on the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com), I found out the title was Don't Go to Sleep and it was released in 1982. That means I would have been four.
Do you ever wonder what our parents were thinking, letting us watch stuff like that?

I also remember that movie--the girl's shoelaces were tied together and that's why she didn't make it out of the car. The whole thing was beyond creepy. And it was on TV, probably on a Saturday afternoon like it was no big deal!
Um, I remember being about four years old, hiding behind dad's back while he watched "Nightmare on Elm Street" -- probably the original. So many nightmares!
