Is this the movie where...


The guy catches his wife cheating on him, goes crazy, and, after he escapes the asylum, has a talk with himself at a campfire where he talks himself into cutting his own tongue out?

i thought it was this one, but can't remember.

reply

no, i am pretty sure the movie you're looking for is Truth or Dare:A Critical Madness

reply

Yeah, that's Truth or Dare, another bad 80's horror movie.

reply

"Truth or Dare" is also the name of another bad Madonna movie.

reply

But Madonna doesn't cut her tongue out in that one, does she?

reply

Unfortunately, she does not.

reply

okay. I'm a madonna fan, but that exchange was funny.

So MY question is, by any chance, does the escaped father in this movie at some point steal and drive around in an ice cream truck that plays a creepy jingle? I remember the parts with the so fricking bratty kid, but that's all I remember--me and my brother saw a movie on VHS in the 80s that had the whole ice cream truck part I just described, but I have not been able to figure out what movie that was for decades!!!!

No I don't remember an ice cream truck in this one.

The film with the ice cream truck would be the Australian film Snapshot AKA The Day After Halloween, which was mismarkted as a sequel to Carpenter's film due to the title.

dwkelly said, thank you, earthling.

What did you think about this movie, Trick or Treats?

I saw it on cable TV back in the 80's and it scared me.

Although, when I saw it later again in the 90's, then it honestly didn't scare me.
