Sounds like the 1979 version of "Dracula" with Frank Langella. There is a tunnel from a coffin to some mines.Joe Brody said:Any help?

Stoo said:Hi, Phantom train. I'll take some stabs at this.
1) Sounds similar to the short-lived, 1977 TV series, "The Fantastic Journey". A group of people who get lost in the Bermuda Triangle and are thrust into different parallel universes each week. Problem is that this was an American TV show and not a British film but thought it was worth mentioning in case it jogs your memory.
2) Could it be any one of these?
- "Humanoids From the Deep" (1980)
- "V" (1983 TV movie & series)
- "The Starlost" (1974 TV series that was packaged into 5 TV movies in 1980. One of the good guys had a crossbow.)
3) I didn't watch much TV after 1985 so can't help you with that one!
Holy sh*t! I forgot all about that show! I used it watch it but it only lasted for 1 season. It starred Jeff Conaway from "Grease" and "Taxi". From your descriptions, it's a very good chance that "Wizards and Warriors" is the one you're looking for.phantom train said:Also, someone else made a suggestion that this may have been from the short-lived mini-series "Wizards and Warriors" from the early '80's.
phantom train said:1) Based on some research I did after I posted the above & info. I got from some others, I was able to determine that #1 may very well have been a broadcast of the original Dr. Who: Inferno mini-series (1970). .

phantom train said:And, who out there remembers "Tales from the Darkside"? This was a late-night anthology horror series that was on in the mid-late '80's.
phantom train said:These '80's show were all excellent & underrated, and are largely forgotten today....
I remember "Tales of the Darkside" but never watched it. "Amazing Stories" was a Spielberg series which (in my opinion) ended up being not so amazing. Amongst myself & my peers, the endings were groan-inducingly dumb. (That's a whole other topic to discuss...)phantom train said:Also in the mid-'80's, I remember "Amazing Stories", which was a fantasy/sci-fi/horror show in the same vein as the new "Twilight Zone".

Absolutley no joy whatsoever. I'm sure I will see it on TV one day, but for now its a mystery as to what it was.Stoo said:Hey, Andy, did you ever find out the title of the movie you were remembering?
Hey, Andy. This is 10 years late but I've never forgotten about the movie you were looking for and think I might've found it. Been wanting to tell you since Hallowe'en 2019 but The Raven was down! Maybe you've solved your mystery by now but just in case:OK I remember watching a film quite a few years ago now and its only really the final scene I can remeber. But I think the movie was set in a large house or large ski lodge, the guests were being murdered one by one. At the end, either the host of the house or the lone survivor is sitting at the head of a table with a large window behind him (I think its a snowy view outside). He realises either hes the only one left or his plan had backfired or he goes mad and he jumps out of the window behind him and runs away. I seem to remember the guy had large dark glasses on too and was laughing manically (as they do) as he ran away from the window.
I had originally thought it was Ten Little Indians, Murder by Death or And Then There were None but I have all those on DVD and its not them.
I know its a touch on the vague side (understatement) but I cant for the life of me think what the movie is. Hopefully it will jog someones memory.
OMG, Stoo - you are back!!!Hey, Andy. This is 10 years late but I've never forgotten about the movie you were looking for and think I might've found it. Been wanting to tell you since Hallowe'en 2019 but The Raven was down! Maybe you've solved your mystery by now but just in case:
Could it be "The Evil" from 1978? (a.k.a "The Evil Below" and "House of Evil"). The ending seems close enough to your description and you can see it on the YooToobs. What do you think?
