Hello. New here and need help finding a movie. I'm looking for an old movie that was probably made in the late 70's or early 80's (1 Viewer)

I'm looking for a movie called Things That Go Bump in the Night. Has anyone heard of it or know where I could find a copy? It was one of those hokey old scary movies and featured an old school bus and a creepy creature guy who jumped on the bus and terrorized the kids who were on a camping trip or some such. The movie opens with a shot of the bus sitting on a bridge during a foggy night. I don't remember the plot, really. But later on I bought that bus and lived in it for awhile. I really want to find a copy.

Sure it wasn't a TV show?

No it was definitely a movie. There were two movies and I've forgotten the name of the first one. But Things That Go Bump in the Night was filmed using the bus I bought later and lived in for awhile.

If IMDB doesn't have a movie called Things That Go Bump in the Night, there's no movie called Things That Go Bump in the Night.

Maybe it has a different name?
Or you've got the right name and it really was the TV show, but you're experiencing something of the Mandela Effect?

Sinbad's Shazaam

Sinbad's Shazaam is one of the most popular examples of the Mandela Effect. It has got many people debating the existence of a movie that others claim (even the actor himself) never existed. There has been many 'explanations' to why people seem to remember the American stand-up comedian starring...

The movie description sounds like JEEPERS CREEPERS 2.

That's what I thought but that's a recent film.

The closest thing I can find other than what has already been mentioned is this listing. Wikipedia refers to it as a "television film" from 1986 but IMDb has it listed as an episode of a series called "Christine Cromwell" with four episodes.

It appears that what IMDb has listed as episodes were actually aired about monthly in 1989-90 and ran longer than an hour time slot. So it wasn't a weekly series but still is a series of connected made-for-TV movies.

I have no idea if this is what you are looking for or not.

How about this one, The Final Terror? One of the alternate titles was Bump in the Night.

The photo gallery shows a bus on a bridge, and the trivia mentions a "bus attack".

How about this one, The Final Terror? One of the alternate titles was Bump in the Night.

The alternate title page does say that was a "working title." It fits, but makes me wonder why it would ever have been promoted with that name if they decided to go with The Final Terror.

Anyway, I'll add this link to Wikipedia which has a detailed plot synopsis.

Apparently Shout Factory released it on Blu-ray. Amazon has it for $14.99 right now.

That's it! I know it was a movie because I watched it as a movie. Thank you so much!
