Default More Odds and Ends

I surely wish I could answer some questions, rather than ask them, but for now I'll take advantage of the generous help available here. I've got another batch of inquiries from another forum from folks who think the flicks that have been tormenting them are British.

1) "this movie is a british movie (early 80's colour) and it was shown on TV about two years ago. It has an old woman in a wheelchair (possibly electric) who turns out to be a 900 year old ancient other wordly-being. Possibly involves killing in order to obtain souls for this old woman. One detail remembered was that there was finger tappings involved."

2) "I saw this movie late seventies or most likely eaerly eightes maybe british made for tv movie , starts with a white boy and his dad in a car and the boy is telling his dad he wont live after he reaches certain age ( maybe thirteen?) he's been having dreams about it and they go into a house or creepy mansion wich the little boy dreamt about too ..inside the house there are several kids including a black kid and the little boy tells his dad all this kids will die when they reach certain age (thirteen?) and all the kids in the house have this knowledge too."

3) Added note from Purukivel--I think I just solved this one after making this post a few minutes ago...I believe this is "The Psychopath" from 1966. "I'd say it would be a 1960's or 1970's colour horror.All I can remember is the ending YEY sorry! From what I can gather there is a psycho murderer who is the son of an elderly woman who collects creepy dolls and in the end the psycho is in some sort of shipyard of huge ships and this giant anchor falls on his back and it crushes his back and paralyses him. The end scene shows the psycho as a vegetable (zombie like) sitting in a chair and the mother has dressed him in dolls clothes and is putting bright red lipstick and makeup on him like a doll, she adds him to her collection and thats the end.."

4) "made in about 1960-late 70s:A Horror film which as a man being trapped into a Freezer by a cruel woman killer who is very cool as she says "MAXIMUM...MAXIMUM....MAXIMUM" as she turns up the power pressure on the freezer, and she continues doing so as he is tortured..It is a British Horror film, maybe a Hammer Horror Film???"

5) "This is one for the oldies out there, as it probably dates from around 1960. Not exactly a seriously scary story, but it has kind of haunted me for years. It was in a B movie which had two or three short crime stories, and although the story was terribly, terribly British it's been suggested it may have been part of a crime/mystery series originally made for American TV. I've been through some lists of these without success.It concerns a handsome young man who visits two spinster ladies (old family friends?) for the last time before leaving for (I think) South Africa to marry his fiancee. These frustrated ladies, secretly attracted to the young man, take him into the library to choose a tray of butterflies from their late father’s collection as a going-away present, but not before they have drugged his drink. When he passes out, they lock him in the library and keep him there for a number of years, feeding him though a small serving hatch. His attempts to break out or attract attention are unsuccessful (the ladies even resort to buying a parrot to reassure the police about reported cries coming from the house). Eventually one sister dies, and the prisoner, who is pretty crazed by now, manages to trick the other sister and get the door key from her. She rushes downstairs to where her dead sister is laid out.The film ends by suggesting she dies of sheer terror before the prisoner can get his hands on her."
