...the ending is indentical to your description, actually.

When I first started getting into horror, the House on Haunted Hill remake was my #1 favourite movie - bar none, hands down. I used to watch it on a daily basis: If I had to count, I would say that I must have seen it at least 50 times - no exaggeration - the most recent being this past Halloween.

In the end, there is a crazy showdown in the attic. Our two surviving heroes - Ali Larter and Taye Diggs - are being run down by a huge ink-like shadow. Just as it looks hopeless, the ghost of Watson Pritchet appears and activates a pulley, opening a huge steel gate and letting our heroes out onto a small ledge. The gate slams shut behind them.

The sun is starting to rise, they both smile and laugh and are full of hope. An envelope is mysteriously pushed towards them from under the door. It contains the prize money that was to be awarded for spending the night in the house. They rejoice for a moment or two...but then the camera pans out, and we realise that they are actually stranded hundreds of feet abouve the ground, and the only way to escape is to somehow pry open the door, and go back through the house...

Trust me - if your description is acurate, this IS your movie. I'm currently at work, but when I get home I'll gladly post some screen caps for you.

thanks for clearing that op :)
i thought it was a different movie cause i looked it up on wikipedia and it said nothing about end, but that they were outside, so i assumed it wasn't the same movie. so i guess i was right all along, i suspected it was the same, but wasn't sure.

well, i feel much better knowing which movie it is. it's been bothering me for days, really :p
thank you so much. and screencaps would be great, cause i don't remember the end being like that :)

This prolly isn't a horror movie but does anyone know of a movie where...I THINK theres like a guy in a pool and a woman turns on this machine and shuts the pool cover on the pool?? I THOUGHT he had like a wrench or something to help him get out.

I doubt you are thinking of this movie but there is a scene in Thunderball where 007 (Connery) is fighting a guy in a pool and they shut some thing over the pool so he can't get out. Then they release sharks into the pool but Bond just swims out where the sharks are let in.

I've been looking for it but can't find it, I'm pretty sure its like a pool in a rich person's house or something maybe in the suburbs or something.

Sounds like a scene in Carrie 2: the Rage.

Derek, desperately in need of a new power supply for the disintegrator, climbs a telephone pole (!) in order to cut the wires. Betty gets ahold of the “city electrical generating plant” (oh brother). She convinces the man on duty to…I don't know…he pulls a switch or something which is shuts off the power so that Derek can connect the disintegrator to the power lines. (Hey, that was a telephone pole, not a power line pole…oh well…let's just get this over with).

The other guy is right , it is Teenagers from outer space.

Hello guys.

Sorry if my english writing is a little off, im from norway. :P

Im looking for a flick that scared me as a kid and would really like to see it again, but i cant remember to much of it, some small parts only.

I remember him drinking something and turning into a beast of some kind, a hairy one(i think) i'm not sure if he was a doctor or not. Thats all i can remember for now.

Thank you.

No I saw this movie when I was about 5-6. Sometime in the 90's, the movie looked like it was either from the 80's or 90's. I'm sure no one prolly knows what it is. Thanks for the help anyway.
