Charlene, the movie you ask about is The Bermuda Depths, a TV movie from 1978.

I remember the song the worms go in the worms go out where a little girl was singing it. I always wanted to see rhis movie again. I just could not forget that song.I love scary movies and this is one of my favorites since childhood. I could not remeber its title and I’am glad I finally found out what its title is. There is only one more movie I can’t remember the title of from childhood it was a story about two young lovers who in thier childhood put thier initals on a turtle later the turle grew so large it was as big as a ship but still had thier intials on it. If you know the name of it let me know. I want to find a copy of th

Magda Gabor was the eldest child of the three. She appeared in some plays and I think a movie when still living in Hungary, but because of a stroke, was no longer able to speak fluently. She was the most recent to die of her family leaving only Zsa Zsa.
Check Wikipedia. I wrote a substantial part of it. :)

Thanks for the kind words, Fred! Wouldn’t it be cool if some enterprising music producer got a bunch of alternative bands together to cut an album of creepy kid songs like “The Hearse Song” (I’m thinking Aimee Mann for this one) and “Dunderbeck, Oh Dunderbeck” (a natural for The Red Hot Chili Peppers)? I’d be Johnny on the Spot for that one!

Richard, I always enjoy reading your reviews here and in Video Watchdog. Thanks for posting about “The Hearse Song.” For the past week, I’ve had that song in my head because something triggered a childhood memory of singing it in camp when I was 5 (the other kids taught it to me and we’d sing it all the time). Must be because my own son is almost 5. The song used to creep me out as a kid (it was the first time I’d ever heard of a hearse), but it also tapped into the monster kid in me. I was too young for “Picture Mommy Dead” (I was only 2 when it came out), but I guess it’s possible that some of the kids from my camp had older siblings who saw the movie and taught them the song.

No, Zsa-Zsa and Eva weren't twins. I believe there
were three Gabor sisters, including one we never saw in
anything. Zsa-Zsa was the middle sister, older than Eva by a
couple of years.

Always good to hear from another FM kid. I've always
preferred the monster movies to the modern thriller types. It is
easier to say "It could never happen". I didn't see
Picture Mommy Dead until a few years ago when I caught it on
video. It seemed pretty formula to me but I'm no longer a
kid. The movie that got to me when I was a kid was The
Haunting.   I had the light on all night that night.
Even now watching it at home it makes me uneasy.    I
love the advertisement you have. Picture Mommy Dead in
color. Sure wouldn't want to picture that in b/w.On a
side note.   Were Zsa Zsa and Eva twins?
Sisters obviously but they didn't really look that much
alike.   The little bit I've read about them didn't
mention that.

It's feedback like yours, Frank, that makes it all worthwhile!

Zsa Zsa Gabor was not in "Green Acres."
