The Alternate Movie Title Game (Movie of the Week Edition)

Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a film that aired on the ABC Movie of the Week and ask you to name the actual film. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it!

1. Three Scary Stories.

2. Road Rage.

3. Man vs. Dogs.

4. The Hippy Marine. 

5. The Brampton Witches.

6. The Killer Physician.  

7. The Imitation Spaceman. 

8. Buried Alive.

9. Subway!  

10. The Deadly Buzz.

11. Loup Garou.

12. Lady Assassin.

13. Apes in the Arctic.

14. The Killer Beneath Seattle.

15. Phone Calls from the Dead.

    1. Nicely done, Jerome! Hit Lady and Killer Bees are lesser known than many of the MOTWs.

  5. Kudos for using the "Movie of the Week" theme. Now, then:

    3. Trapped (1973: James Brolin vs. guard dogs in a department store overnight.)
    9. Short Walk to Daylight (1972: Brolin again, with passengers trapped in a subway tunnel after an earthquake hits NYC.)
    11. Moon of the Wolf (1972: David Janssen hunts down a werewolf in the Louisiana bayou.)

    1. Great job, Al! Always wondered if Stallone's Daylight was inspired by Short Walk.
