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!
Bump (if that's allowed). Desperately trying to identify this... never got to see the end.
Not exactly what you described, but there could be a slight chance that it was "The House of No Return" from Goosebumps.

Bump yet again.
Star fleet
Sorry wrong post lol
Can you remember anything else? Right post.
I have been trying to find out what this is for years! I can't believe that someone else is too. I remember the cards, because I believe he was trying to make a deal with them for his life. I also remember another show (that I think is part of the same series, maybe?), where a man is trying to win the heart of a rich man's daughter, but the father says no, so he performs magic or tricks to win her over. I remember it having an all black cast. I watched both of these around 96-97. Believe it or not, I watched this in school, so it had a vhs release

Last desperate bump
It might have been an anthology series,like the Twilight Zone or Tales of the Unexpected, where there's a different story per episode. http://www.imdb.com/list/ls000520791/
This is a list of some well known horror/suspense anthologies. Hope this helps!
The red room riddle?
Edited by AbnormalSeal
Unfortunately not the red room riddle. Thank you for the list of anthology series, I'm looking through it now. I figured it was probably from something like that too, just didn't know where to start. Thank you both for your input.
Still desperately seeking this.
STILL desperately seeking this.
sounds like a lost cause, to be honest with you
This sounds like it could be either Friday the 13th: The Series or Freddy's Nightmares, two syndicated horror anthologies that were running around that time.

Lee4hmz, I read though the episode guides of both those shows and none of the descriptions sound like it. Plus considering how young and scared I was I definitely would have remembered seeing Freddy somewhere.
I am desperately trying to identify something I saw as a kid. This is everything I remember. This would have aired on local TV (not cable/satellite) in either the late 80s, or early 90s (not after fall of 1992). A man is near or at a railroad. He's offered a place to stay for the night and is taken to a house. In front of the house are three crosses, one smaller than the other two, I believe it is said a family was killed there. While the man is staying there overnight (I think I remember a deck of playing cards for some reason?), two ghosts, possibly one white and one red, appear and fly towards the screen. This is all I remember. Scared the shit out of me, and I would kill to find out what this is. Major thanks in advance. I listed it as "live action TV" but I can't rule out it was a movie. I know it was on at least twice.
