Horror comedy

A scene I remember is a teen doing dishes or something in the kitchen. He is talking to a parent or friend. Then a monster/creature is in a garbage can. It starts to come out lifting the lid atop his head, and the teen shakes his head 'no' and the creature goes back down in the gargage can. The garbage can was the classic metal trash can with lid. The teen resumes his conversation. This was sometime in the mid 80s that I saw it.
Thanks in advance.

Basket Case? Wasn't a trash can but the same time period.

My memory recalls specifically a trash can.
The only movie I remember that comes close is My Demon Lover. But the scenes that involves the trash can dont resonate with the memory I have.
BtW... That was a great 1987 flick starring Scott Valentine. Sugguested viewing.

Could it have been a TV series like Amazing Stories or Tales from the Darkside?
