When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
What year did you see it, approx, and do you remember anything else (plot, names, actors, etc)?
I don't know the year. It looked pretty old to me even then The style and feel was similar to Tales From the darkside. There's also a scene where we see the little boy playing with blocks and laughing but only his back is visible. His hair may have been yellow.
I also remember pieces of the poem, namely "Crossed the seas to take care of a boy named Eric Keys." That line gets nothing from google either though.
Found it! it was from a VHS tape called Ghost Stories: Graveyard Thriller. The story is The New Nanny. I even saw that the episode was online. Now I'll get to see the ending.
So glad you found it. I managed to buy the VHS tape on E-Bay, because I want to check this out, but I read reviews from the IMDB and three were downright negative.
Hi there. This time around I'm trying to find the name of a live action horror film. In it a nanny is tasked with caring for a boy named Eric Keys. We don't see much of the child and everytime the nanny approaches his door there is a noticeable growling sound. Though when he talks, he sounds like a normal little boy. At one point in the movie, the Nanny tries to bring him some lunch only to hear the same growling noises. She slips the tray through the door only for it to come sliding back very quickly almost as if it were thrown at her. The little boy screams "I don't like tunafish!" At another point, she reads a poem written by the little boy. The last line is "Ended up dead" it's complete with a drawing of the nanny and Eric hanging by their necks. Needless to say, she didn't take that well. Google turned up nothing but I distinctly remember scenes from this film or show or whatever it was. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
