Can you post a link to the clip?

Powered up in 1971. Brought online in 1982.

Could possibly be Maximum Overdrive (with machines going like crazy and killing people).

Data Angel, here is the link to the clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dODptgTDZPs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUPoSHO-OOTb0rqZr6bJlMkQ

The scene I described above begins at 0:13 and ends at 0:44.

The people who posted the clip are talking over the clip I am referring to (meaning they are not referencing what is playing at all ~ I think they made a comedy video, and put this excerpt in for comedic effect).

I'm just curious to know what the name of the movie this excerpt is from.

Fawfulster, no this isn't Maximum Overdrive. That movie didn't have ghosts or anything like what this clip shows.

Thanks everyone.

So, does anyone know what the movie is which is seen on this You Tube video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dODptgTDZPs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUPoSHO-OOTb0rqZr6bJlMkQ

The portion I am interested in begins at 13 seconds into the video, and ends at 44 seconds.

The video clip this excerpt is a part of is a parody/comedy bit, and the excerpt was used for comedic effect. The two people talking over the excerpt don't say anything at all about what the excerpt is from.

I think I've bumped this thread enough, so if no one knows what the movie is, it's time to let this thread disappear.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I bet somebody will get this.

From the clothing and hairstyles of the two kids, I would put this in the 1970's (maybe the late 60s or early 80s). In fact, the whole clip looked like it could be from some sort of kids' movie or program, maybe even made by Disney, until it got to the end and the boy was decapitated and blood went everywhere. There seems to be a normal kid (who gets killed), and the other kid also looks like a normal kid until he disappears (teleports?).

I don't know what it is, but I can help narrow it. Definitely 80's jacket dead give away. Filmed on tape not film stock, so most likely TV show or TV movie

I watched the clip. This is a real stretch but my guess is the kid in the white jacket is Eric Greene.

I'm embarrassed to say that I equate the face to his character 'Loki' in Space Academy (1979 ish)

No idea if Cain still checks on this, but on the video, there's a comment saying that the movie is 'House of Lost Souls' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134457/

Hi alaman,

You are absolutely right. This clip is from 'House of Lost Souls'. Many thanks for solving this for me.

I had never heard of 'House of Lost Souls' until I read your post. This mystery is now solved!

Thank you alaman for the answer, and thank you to everyone else who ventured guesses as to what this clip was from.
