Need to know the name of this movie


As I mentioned earlier this was a very scary movie for me, and talking about scary movies when we were younger, another movie always pops to mind. I cant for the life of me remember the name or if it was an actual movie or a made for tv movie, I mentioned it to my oldest brother and he vaguely remembers it but cant remember the name either.

Anyways, its about a boy that gets left behind in the family home ( for reasons I cannot remember ) , a new family moves in and he resorts to living within the walls, the inside of the house I guess. He has all these holes in the walls and can get from room to room within these walls. He becomes besotted with the pretty teenage girl of the new family. After that all I can remember is him being found out and him jumping from behind the walls and running outside the house only to be caught ..

I think it had the name of the boy in the title but other then that I cant remember. Any one remember this crazy movie ? I would love to watch it again.

Also what was the name of the movie with Linda Blair where she goes to live with her cousin who turns out to be a vampire.. I loved that movie also... remember watching it at a sleepover. Scary stuff for its time. She also did another one where she goes to a girls detention place, jail.. and gets bullied with the famous bathroom scene that everyone always remembers .

Ahh .. the good old days.. I know that they are probably silly to watch now, but sometimes those tv movies were great , I wish they would show them again on tv, just for something different to watch instead of reality b.s.

I agree with u 1000000000 % on the fact that reality shows are b**lsh*t!! They are the lowest form of TV ever! Having said that, I don't remember ever watching that movie about the in-wall boy, but it sounds spooky enuff! As for Linda Blair's movie, I don't remember that one either, but I saw it when I was younger. Sorry, naming old movies isn't my strong point.

The film with the kid living in the wall is "Bad Ronald." The Linda Blair films you're asking about are "Born Innocent" and "Summer of Fear" (a.k.a. "A Stranger In Our House"), which was directed by none other than Wes Craven. Both "Born Innocent" and "Summer of Fear" are currently available on DVD.

"Warren Oates died for our sins"

Hi. Just go on this same site IMDb and enter Linda Blair's name on the search box. All the movies that she has ever been is listed. See if you can remember the year that you saw this movie or you may just have to hit each movie and read the description of the plot. I have found many movie titles that has escaped my memory by doing this. Good Luck!!!

A Stranger in Our House is about a witch not a vampire.

Have you forgotten how it felt that day/To see your homeland under fire/And her people blown away?

Bad Ronald was one of those great movies of the 70's you saw as a kid and it stays with you (just like Trilogy of Terror.) Scott Jacoby was Ronald and did a great job!! I would like to get that movie on DVD but can't find it anywhere.

This is the guy I bought (and still buy) my DVD's from of old movies like 'house of dark shadows' and 'don't be afraid of the dark', 'town that dreaded sundown', etc.

http://moviesvideoman.bravehost.com/horror.html

he has several listings for sci-fi, horror, etc. (double check the top links, I think he has several pages for 'horror' listing), and he is pretty reasonable usually about 5 or 6 bucks per movie including S+H, but please purchase at least 4 at a time if possible, you will find MANY old movies unavailable elsewhere there, He DOES have 'bad ronald'...tell 'im Andy sent ya!
