Post Re: I need help to find this movie
I will shamelessly use this thread for my own query.

I am looking for a two-part TV-movie/TV-miniseries. I have seen it about ten years ago. Total running time must be around 180-200 minutes. It was horror-themed and featured Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and a werewolf/wolfman. It was rather modern (nothing before 1985). Unfortunately I don#t remember anything else...

I think it's Der Meineidbauer (1941).

Yep, I think this is it! :) Thanks

Could it be a TV series instead of a movie?

Like the episode The Tale Of The Crimson Crown from the Are You Afraid Of The Dark TV series's that ran from 1990-1996?

Nope. I'm sure it was a film.

It probably was an obscure movie, for sure, so I'm not expecting to find this straight away, but if I narrow it down, I might find it eventually.

Maybe Dr. Giggles, that ends I think in a funhouse in an amusement park. He's not a clown but he was a creepy fuck who laughed alot

This was a horror film. The film I'm looking for was for kids. It was on in the middle of the day on national TV.

I got the sense that this clown wanted this one kid, he was special. He collected many kids, I feel, but this one kid was the purpose of this movie. It totally gave me a child catcher vibe from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but more creepy, for me at least. Oh, this is driving me crazy now. I've lived with this for about 20 years. I really want to know what it is.

Shakes the Clown
Maybe Little Monster with Howie Mandel and Fred Savage (Little boy is kidnapped at the end) Not clowns, but a lot of makeup.

The Crimson Clown, a clown puppet that comes to life and terrorizes a little boy who gets away with everything and gets taught a lesson of right and wrong, in the Are You Afraid of the dark episode tale of the Crimson Clown.

Zeebo The Clown, the spirit of a thief that stole the circuses whole payroll of 20,000 dollars in the 1920s who terrorizes the main protagonist, because of the theft of his nose by said protagonist in the Are You Afraid Of The dark episode The Tale of Laughing In the dark.

Clownhouse- 1989

It has to be one of these.

Nope. Sorry Thegun, but thanks for trying. Seriously though, the one I'm looking for wasn't a big fancy/showy clown, it was just a guy that dresses as a clown, and maybe for just one part of the movie (I can't remember the rest of the movie) in order to catch this boy who's at a circus when it's dark. I got the feeling that the fair had come to town and there were more circus scenes, but I can't be sure about this.

It's probably the reason for my insanity. I've been trying to find this movie for years.

How come Stephen King's IT is not the reason to your fear of clowns as it should be for everyone of our generation?!

It is. I was petrified of that movie. The film I'm looking for just added another layer of fear to it.

It sounds like you're having trouble remembering the right film. I think you need to expand your search. How old were you when you saw it? Sometimes, you just get a movie description wrong.

Of course I'm having trouble remembering it, that's why I've asked for help. But I know what I saw and I know that it scared me, but it wasn't a horror film at all.

I'll get there eventually. Like I said before, I think it might just be an obscure TV movie, in which case nobody here may have seen it.

Sunday daytime, yes. I obviously cannot be sure what time, I cannot even remember 95% of the movie.

My point is, even if you think you remember this scene vividly (That it's a Sunday morning family film) that's just your perspective. Horror films play randomly on Sundays during the day, as do all kinds of films. It could just as easily be kids tv like AYAOTD. You'll never find it if you don't expand your search. It could even be the beginning, and not the end.)

How about Bingo? He was a circus dog
