Hi there movie buffs,
I’m looking for help with finding a movie that has haunted my brain since my early childhood. I was likely age 5-7 when I saw clips of this movie, so around 2000 or so, but the movie was likely older, it had at least a 90s feel, but could be as early as the 70s. And these are memories of a stupid child warped over 20+ years so who knows if this even is remembered correctly, heck it might even be from a cheesy porno my dad left in the VCR.
The main location in the movie was a midevil-ish castle, it had a very Princess Bride, Monty Python, Robin Hood type of thing going on.
The scene that I remember the most clearly was a scene with a Renaissance ish puppet scene in the Great hall of some castle, but the show came to life and sucked people in with a kraken-esq tenticle monster/ giant squid. It almost resembled the scene in 20,000 leagues under the sea with the squid attack. But I think people from the castle’s great hall were getting sucked in to the puppet show.
The other scene I believe I remember involved a woman being levitated in a long flowing gown in what was I believe the castle graveyard? And I there were these creatures that looked like a mix of a Jawa from Star Wars and like a dementor from Harry Potter. Hooded creatures with glowing red eyes. I think there was a popular-ish costume around the late 90s early 2000s Era with them, but not the grim reaper ones.
Anybody remember anything like this?
Is it possibly “High Spirits”? The show about the squid coming to life and the lady in the long flowing dress sounds familiar.
