Greetings! Love the site. Visit just about every day. Love taking a trip down memory lane with all the horror and suspense movies of my youth. I can't even begin to tell you also how many great flicks I've been turned onto. Was wondering about your help with a movie that has plagued me for many years.
Was never bothered by most horror movies (or the monsters/killers) but there was this one film that has always bothered me. Not sure if it was an actual theatre movie or made-for-T.V. Saw it maybe when I was between 10-13 (am 36 now). It involved several people (possible kids) digging up a glass bottle/mason jar out of the ground. After opening it (or having it break) a vengeful spirit/demon thing caused all sorts of mayhem until they managed to trap it back in another bottle at the end of the movie.
I remember it was really creepy and had an evil edge to it and it always bothered me that you could release something so evil on accident. Any ideas folks?
Could you possibly be thinking of Steven Spielberg’s made for TV film “Something Evil”? It’s been a LONG while since I’ve seen it but it featured a mason jar that glowed and made creepy, baby-like noises. There were poltergiests and other supernatural things going on, somehow tied to the jar.

I’m pretty sure the jar just appeared to be an empty mason jar. no glowing effects or anything.
Hmmmmm……………Could this have been the inspiration for that claymation video for Alice In Chains’s “I Stay Away”.
