Do you know the name of this 1970s low budget movie?!


Question: I don't remember much about it. There were a bunch of little monsters that came down the fireplace, they were after some lady named Sally. She would hear the whispering "Sally". I remember it finally showed the monsters toward the end of the movie. That's about all I can remember about it. I think it was a "made for TV movie".

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973 TV movie)
starring Kim Darby, Jim Hutton, Barbara Anderson, William Demarest, Pedro Armendariz, Jr., William Sylvester (of "2001: A Space Odyssey"~Dr. Heywood Floyd)

IMDB synopsis:
A neurotic housewife named Sally and her business exec husband move into Sally's family house, a spooky two story Victorian mansion. When Sally starts the redecorating along with her pompous decorator she comes across a locked room in the house. After arguing with the handyman who insists she should leave the room locked, she finally gets the key. But once she opens her father's old study and has the bricks from the fireplace removed, strange things begin to happen. Sally begins to see small creatures everywhere, but no one will believe her. Her husband dismisses her as neurotic and her friend thinks Sally may be loosing her mind. But things take a deadly serious turn when the decorator trips at the top of the stairs and falls to his death. Sally sees a rope lying across the place where he tripped, but when she picks it up to take it, a horrifying little creature pulls it from her grasp. Is she crazy? Or has Sally released demons in the house, demons her father summoned?
NOTE: I tried to post the link, but Y!A won't let me.

I count myself lucky to have seen this when it was first shown and practically every time it was shown again. It's not that it's a brilliant film, but it is very eerie, atmospheric and weird fun, with some shivers. I have vivid memories of so much of this, including what the little creatures look like, and I remember their whispering that only she can hear:
"Don't hurt her...not yet."
"I want to."
"Wait until tomorrow."
"Let me just scare her."
"Alright, then scare her!"

WOW! They have it on YouTube, but Y!A won't let me post the link for whatever strange reason. It also won't let me post the link to the IMDB page! What's going on?!

Isn't it sad that they don't show all of these TV movies, including this one, "Curse of the Black Widow", "The Bermuda Depths" and many others many of us recall.

sounds like the original amity ville horror

No,I don't remember that movie. But I had a few weekends in the 70's that sounded like that.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (that is the name of the movie, not some advice.)

OMG...I loved that movie ....It was called "Don't be afraid of the dark" with Kim Novak...if this is the movie you're asking about, the monsters only came out at night and they were in the basement.....at the end of the movie, they end up dragging her into the basement and she becomes one of them ! oops...Kim Darby...not Kim Novak

I think it was Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, if I remember correctly they came up out of the furnace. I saw it as a kid on tv, it scared me to death! I've never forgot it.
