Anyone remember a kids movie from the 80's...

[hornadylnl]

I'm guessing it was from the 80's. I remember seeing it on tv. There was a creepy house and an old man owned. He would push a wheelbarrow down the sidewalk. The kids fell through the ground I believe into this guys cellar and it's full of money. That's about all I can remember from it.

I have no idea who the actors were. The old man who owned the creepy house would put you in mind of the ghost from Scrooge.

Nope, sorry. Don't remember that one.

But if it had any kind of a "creepy" or "suspense" bent to it, chances are good that I didn't ask my mom to rent it for me. Those genres STILL don't sit well with me. LOL

The Goonies

It wasn't Goonies and I'm pretty sure this was a tv movie but not a tv series. It wasn't a horror movie either. But it was a house that had a rep with all the neighborhood kids and they were curious about it.

This was something in the same genre for kids like Ransom of the Red Chief.

It was set in a nice residential neighborhood. I'll have to do some searching and see if I can find it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't it, but it sounds somewhat like The 'burbs.

No, this wasn't anything that would have been in theaters I believe. I watched in on tv on one of the networks as a kid. I didn't have cable.

Somewhere, in a storage locker far away, I have that on cassette. I miss that show. So many shows from that time period were ignored, lost or forgotten. I miss the TV of the late 80s through late 90s... It's all dreck now...

I do have and celebrate Twin Peaks season 1 and 2 on DVD, plus I saved up all my "Wrapped In Plastic" magazines from when I was a kid. Cursory ebay glance has it valued at over 1K if all issues are present (and they are, still in their "Wrapped in Plastic" mailing covering). Time to start a new thread to get interest in "INGO Twin Peaks Open Carry Night" !

No, it's not eerie, in. That was a series. This was a movie. It was about a house that an old man lived in. They tried exploring around to see what the man was up to and ended up in a cellar and there was a bunch of money in. Iirc, the old man caught them in there. It wasn't a horror movie at all.

No this wasn't a cartoon. It's been over 20 years since I've seen it so I don't remember a whole lot about it. I'm doing good to keep track of a movie I watched a week ago.
