#2 has to be the TV movie Don’t Go to Sleep, starring Valerie Harper. The killer pizza-cutter scene is pretty infamous.

#3 might be Bug (1975). In an effort to preserve prehistoric fire-starting cockroaches that were released by an earthquake, a scientist breeds them with contemporary roaches so the offspring will be better adapted...a mistake, as it turns out.

Hmm... I knew a Dawn Marie once upon a time. Early 1980s, Massachusetts?

Yeah, the second one is familiar. The events come back in a series of flashbacks. I think they were leaving the grandmother's house. The dad had had too much to drink to be driving safely . The other kids tied her laces together. I can't remember what guilt the mom had. The only thing I remember about the pizza-cutter scene was going up the stairs and cutting the phone line.

Bumping this over a year and a half later because I still haven't located the answer to #1. It definitely isn't Pumpkinhead.

Belated thanks for the answers to 2 and 3!

I asked on another forum, and someone there suggested that #1 might be Grotesque.
