Could this be the one? (Part 2)


I've been looking for a movie for ages and I'm sure the title was 'Michael' or something to do with a Michael.

The only things I can remember about it are a scene where ghostly voices are whispering the name to this confused looking girl, and there's a scene in it where they're at a drinks vending machine and the drink starts turning red. They open it up and there's a dead body inside.

Ring any bells?

not this one

There is a scene in the movie Ruby, starring Piper Laurie, that has the dead body in the drink machine with the blood dropping down in the cup. It is a ghost story, but I can't remember any voices. Haven't seen it in a long time though. Hope this is some kind of help.

RUBY directed by Curtis Harrington and starring Piper Laurie

RUBY!!!!!!

You people are superstars! I've honestly been trying to remember this for the best part of 15 years.

Thanks!

I'm glad you found it. They have the full movie on youtube. They have a youtube downloader program because it is hard to find. I have a vague recollection of the ads, mid to late 70s after Piper Laurie came back to Hollywood. The studios never quite forgave her for taking time off to raise her family, just like Nancy Parsons of the Porkey's series who was also a very brilliant actress and she loved working with the kids in Porkey's.
