I would... But I'm scared of logging out, especially now I've seen how much trouble logging in can bring!

Nothing to worry about, if you have problems just post here for assistance or start a new topic. Worse that can happen is you get bumped several times a week.

Did you know or did you get the info from the name in the jpg address? Or maybe a Joan Collins filmography?

All I remembered was that a man fell in love with a tree, and in the end the tree wins.

There are a couple of films I remember watching back then that I would love to know more about, but I only remember certain scenes. One looks like a hammer horror in which people are sacrificed on a stone alter (attached to a wall at one end) where a large, wrought iron gate looking thing, with what looks like the shape of a bat in it, hinges down and crushes the victims.

The other was very disturbing. It's supposed to be a true story. There was a girl whose mum would keep chained to a piano for hours and hours, and when she inevitably wet herself, the mum would take a hot poker to her insides. It was nasty. I don't want to see it again, but I would be intrigued to know more.

I would have been around seven years old when I saw them (~1982). My mum loves horror films, but she didn't like watching them alone and my dad worked nights. And as I was the oldest son, and the only one that didn't get freaked out, she liked me to stay up and watch them with her. I saw quite a few of the "video nasties" before they were banned.

The film is called `Sybil` or `Cybil`? Sally Field plays the leading role. In it, her "safe-place" where she can open up to her therapist about her terrifying childhood is a large, overstuffed armchair she refers to as "the big chair". I remember reading somewhere that the Tears for Fears' album and track, "Songs from the Big Chair", are a side reference to this.

'Right-click' on the original picture, then 'Search similar image by Google'. Absolutely no merit, I'm afraid. :- |

Mods please delete this thread to avoid clutter and embarrassment.

Though I'd just touch base with this. :D Thanks to everyone who posted recently, I'd ALMOST forgotten about it, which would have been a shame.

It would have been a shame to let all this valuable advice slip into obscurity.

You're quite right. I don't know what criteria is needed to get a thread pinned; and it's likely this will never need it. But it could be a consideration for the mods maybe?

Yes!

In the past, when I have searched, that is the only thing that ever came up, but I only had that one scene to go on and could never find any images or clips of it, and I don't remember any of the stuff from Sybil that I could find. However, I have just found the exact scene on YouTube.

So, thank you, I can now tick that one off!

Glad I could help, but more than anything I'm just delighted to see this thread back in action.
