Elvira movie with remote control airplane

I will submit this one again after a long time with no response. The only memory I have of this Elvira movie, two youngsters approximately 14 year old boys were carrying a rather large scale model aircraft to the middle of a field. Single wing, probably a World War II fighter who knows. . That’s all I remember, seems like it might have been in England not sure. Seems strange that boys this young were attempting to fly such an aircraft, with no field support. Any help?

Scene from an Elvira movie

I only remember one very short moment in this movie that was hosted by Elvira.  I don’t think it was American, but I don’t know for sure. So we know it was a horror movie and I remember it was not a big name movie. Probably foreign.

Two young boys were carrying a rather large scale model airplane out into a field, apparently to fly it.

That’s all there was to that. They did not start it up nor did they fly it.

I remember it because I cheered and said right on ,because I was already into remote control aircraft myself and thought it was really cool. However I was not flying Scale Models at the time as I am now. I realized it was a stretch for these two young boys two actually walk into a field carrying an airplane expecting to be able to fly it, without any field support or other Gear with them.

A plane like that would generally not be for young boys anyway.

Science fiction on another planet

I was very young approximately 1969, watching on television. I believe it was black and white but I am not sure as I also remember we had a black and white TV. It was in English. I believe I saw parts of it twice and there was something about the Ambiance that I enjoyed. The only scene I remember was Spacemen on another planet , one guy picked up something from the ground I believe, the size of his fist, look like a rock or a fossil , and he is able to open it up or split it in two, which reveals a man made object inside. It looked like a jewelry cameo of a sort . I think it was the image of a woman’s face like a cameo would have, but my memory is very fuzzy on this. My recollection is that this was giving evidence of a life-form that was otherwise not proven to exist? This may have even been the end of the movie but I am not sure about that either. Thanks for your help.

horror movie with cat, 1 scene

I was very young, approximately 1969. At the drive-in with my parents, it was a double feature ,and after Swiss Family Robinson ,there was this horror movie ,I only remember one image.

There was a clothed body with its head apparently chewed off with only a bloody neck stump exposed, then they pan over to the other side of the room and there was a guilty looking cat sitting there.. It might have been a black cat I don’t remember for sure. I’m pretty sure that the scene was alluding to the fact that the cat was the killer? I don’t know for sure.

survival murder mystery, death by wrist rocket slingshot

I don’t think this was a great movie or anything like that, I just remember the scene where the guy is trying to avoid being killed by a bad guy. Like he’s in the desert , in a hole or in a wash , and his only weapon is a wrist rocket slingshot and when the bad guy looks over the edge down at him , he is killed by the slingshot. Then for some reason the guy has to hide the slingshot from the sheriff who is snooping around. The sheriff thinks it’s a gunshot. I remember he solves the case at a gas station , and with a long pole they reach down into the gas Reservoir underground and pull out the wrist rocket where it was stashed by the shooter. Probably the 70s, American, color . Could being a made-for-tv movie. I don’t believe it was just a television detective show. But I don’t know for sure. Good luck and thanks for helping.

60s cheesy sci-fi horror

I saw this on television about 3 times in 1969 or 70. As a kid I loved it. It was probably black and white, but not positive. And it was in English. Anyway this science fiction horror which takes place on an island, (of course) and the creatures to be feared were about the size and shape of a Galapagos turtle shell ,and the only appendage I remember was a tall neck sticking out the top like an ostrich neck. And of course these things were multiplying and it was getting worse by the hour. Now this thing was very very slow moving, but you can damn sure bet that it was going to catch you and kill you! one guy was being attacked by it and had him by the arm, so his buddy rescued him by chopping his arm off with an ax, haha. Everyone on the island was in danger ,and of course I believe they were scientists. ……..Spoiler alert ending, now while everyone was safe and sound on the flight home ,with the creatures being eradicated, ( or so they thought ), it turns out one of these creatures had stowed away on the airplane. So now you know the whole world is going to die!. Loved it. Please help me recover this movie memory.

Man clames to be satin ,purchases souls for $5 each. Clever and funny

The color movie that I believe I saw in the 90s. . The movie was probably made around that time of the nineties as well. I saw it on television. Some friends were traveling from Canada to Louisiana I believe. I believe they were traveling to Louisiana to pick up a friend’s body for a funeral. The movie takes place in Canada with the main character who claims to be Satan, would find some bum on the street and offer him  $5 for his signature as sale of his soul.  There were some good laughs as he was the leader of his terrible neighborhood band. He also had interest in the friends corpse , as  he believed it belongs to him because he had purchased the soul for $5. He  had a bunch of pictures of the souls he had purchased pinned up on his wall. It was not a horror movie at all I guess you would call it dark humor. It may very well have been a Canadian movie I don’t know.
