I saw a movie in the 70's when I was a kid. It was about this lady who went to visit her girlfriend, but when she got to the friend's house, she couldn't find her girlfriend. There was seemingly nobody in the house. There was one scene where you saw a body in a clothes hamper. Does anybody remember this movie? It used to be on TV all the time. crowfan, did you see it on TV or at the cinema? I'm vaguely thinking of a made for TV movie. So where you first saw it might help us track it down. It sounds like it could be based on Les Diaboliques.

"Do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie that was out last year?" No, sorry. Last one was rented yesterday. Be back in Monday.

A man is waiting for a bus, a hearse drives by this man, the driver says "room for one" then leaves. Then a few minutes later, the bus he was waiting for drives up and says "room for one". After hearing that he decides not to get on the bus, then he finds out that the bus he was gonna go on had driven of a cliff. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

It sounds like a Twilight Zone episode.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This woman in a hospital has a recurring dream where she follows a nurse down to the morgue and the nurse turns around and says "Room for one more, honey." Then when she was going to catch a flight back to her home the flight attendant looked just like the nurse and welcomed her with "Room for one more, honey." And so she runs away, and the plane explodes.
I love the Twilight Zone.
Anyway.. My brother keeps telling me about a movie he saw a long time ago. He thinks it was a film noir movie... he only remembers one thing: At one point a guy pulls out a gun.. but it turns out to be a chocolate gun. Anyone?

Alright. Here's one. My grandfather says there's a movie with an old man carrying around a cage shouting "Lollipops, fruit juices, candy, all free today!" And kids would come out and he'd throw them into his cage. Does this ring a bell at all? Thats Chitty Chitty Bang Bang isn't it?

Then when she was going to catch a flight back to her home the flight attendant looked just like the nurse and welcomed her with "Room for one more, honey." And so she runs away, and the plane explodes. Quite right. That 1961 TZ episode is called " Twenty Two," because Room 22 in the hospital is, you guessed it, the morgue. However, before TZ, there was a 1945 movie that told another version of the same story. It's called Dead of Night. In the film, a group of guests at an English country house party tell of various uncanny happenings in their lives. This includes one guest who dreamed of a hearse driver telling him, "Just room for one inside, sir," and later came upon a bus driver who was the man in his dream, etc., etc. As the IMDb entry notes, the guests' different stories are based on the works of other authors. The story of the hearse driver is based on the 1906 short story "The Bus-Conductor" by a famous author of ghost stories and other fiction, E. F. Benson. (You can download a PDF of this story, and others, from Horror-Masters.com.) Now, did E. F. Benson base his story on an earlier source? That I don't know.

Okay, here's one that's haunted me since childhood (when I saw it on the old KC "Creature Feature"):
It's about a doctor (or barron perhaps--but not Frankenstein) who experiments on prisoners or lunatics in his castle.
The thing I remember most is his squat, mute deformed manservant who's either missing an eye or has an unstaring eye. I think the mute guy kills someone at the beginning of the film.
May be a Hammer film (but probably not). May have Christopher Lee....Mostly I remember the mute ugly guy.
Any ideas?
