Need help finding movie...

When i was little there was this movie on TV. It was a horror movie and a little kid got pushed out of a window into water below and then there was a knock at the door and the little kid was at the door. He looked like a monster. Also, at the end this guy was riding an elevator and when the doors opened this woman with razor sharp teeth and an axe (I think) was there. It scared the hell out of me and it also kind of stuck with me over the years. Can anyone tell me the name of this movie? I would deeply appreciate it.

You have two different movies mixed up.

The first movie your thinking of is called DEAD OF NIGHT it is a collection of short stories the last one being called Billy that takes place at night and it has billy being pushed out a window and appearing at the front door to frighten his mother, very creepy for a made for TV movie and well worth the money to find it. It was put out by a company called MPI who released the Dark Shadows episodes, the movie Dead of Night was directed by Dan Curtis.

The second movie is TRILOGY OF TERROR also directed by Dan Curtis. It has Karen Black taking on the vodoo fetish doll from hell. It is pretty easy to find if you look for it and well worth the price. I do recommed the DVD version that was put out within the last year it has some nice special features for a TV movie.

Good hunting for the movies and just happy I can help.

I have to correct myself for my last post. The segment in the DEAD OF NIGHT is called Bobby not Billy.

This made for TV movie was put out as a pilot movie for a possible series that never materialized, it's a shame because it could of been another awesome series from the 70's in the tradition of NIGHT GALLERY, GHOST STORY/CIRCLE OF FEAR, KOLCHAK, THE NIGHT STALKER and those so creepy other TV movies DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, CROWHAVEN FARM, DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW, THE DEAD DON'T DIE, GARGOYLES I could go on and on with other TV movies that others love these are just a few of my favorites.
