Do you know this movie part II?

Its me again. I am trying to remember the title of another movie. This was a made for tv movie I believe. Again I believe it to be in the 70's. The story to the best of my memory is about a young married couple. They move into some big old house. There are some sort of little monkey people living in the basement of the house. When the wife opens up a sealed door letting the little beasts out she is the only one to see them. They don't like light and I believe only come out at night(not sure about that) Of course her workaholic husband thinks she is nuts and gets some doctor to give her a shot to make her sleep. The little monkey beasts manage to drag the wife down to the basement and she becomes one of them somehow. Any thoughts on this one?

Oh, gosh, that sounds familiar! Could it be Don't Be Afraid of the Dark? Weird World of 70s Cinema - TV Movies gives this description:

...[C]hills can be found in DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK 1972 as a young housewife who finds out her new dream home includes ugly little green gremlins in her basement.

There's a lengthier description at The Terror Trap. Gah! I remember the scene where the little demons are retrieving the cord that they strung across the stairs. If the Terror Trap is correct to the air date, I must have been about 10 when I saw it. I loved scary movies, but I was also awfully easily freaked by them.

Thanks guys. Right again. I read the story line at the terror trap. All I can say is geez, no wonder I was a paranoid little kid. My parents let me watch stuff like this?! Sounds spooky to me now and I was only about 5 when this first aired. I was thinking about buying a copy of it and showing it to my kids. I guess that will have to wait a few years. Atleast the showing it to them part. Thanks again for all the info. How do you guys remember the titles to all these movies? Amazing.
