Subject: 3 Movies ??????
3 movies..I have no idea on titles: (need help)
1) A thriller about a large, carnivorous venus fly trap that (I believe) a mad-scientist has hidden in his house/lab. I think he feeds it human bodies and body parts (If I remember correctly). It's black-and-white film, straight out of the Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee horror genre. Would play a lot on the Sat. afternoon "Thriller Theater" back in late 70's.
2) Part of the main story line in this drama/thriller is a group of guys who startegically place a mirror on a rural roadway. THe approaching cars panic and skid off the road as it is night-time and it looks as though the car is coming directly at them. The guys then proceed to steal gasoline and loot the crime scene any way possible. I remember seeing this in the mid to late 70's on TV.
3) The main scene from this movie is a family (or part of one) trapped INSIDE their house by a pack of killer dogs. Don't have much on this, other than one or more people were trapped standing up on the fire place mantle, furniture, etc because the killer dogs were trapping them from below. No one was available to help them. I believe this one was color and saw it in the late 70's.
Any body with the vaguest information, would be mighty helpful. Thanks.

Answer: It is actually a man who was robbed and left to survive in a shopping center after-hours. No one is around, only a pack of vicious security dobermans. Oh well, I was in the right ball-park.
It's called "Trapped" (a TV movie - 1973) w/ James Brolin.

LSH was remade as a really bad musical/movie in the mis 80's.
The other one sounds like it could be an episode of The Twilight Zone. I seem to remember seeing one like this. Could be wrong, though...
