For years I've tried identifying a movie based on a few scenes from my memory with no luck.
I went to a daycare as a child in a HUGE haunted plantation home here in Texas from the 1800s. My teacher knew I never napped during nap time, so she'd let me sit in a separate room alone and watch scary movies.
The movie in question was a ghost movie, scenes in a possibly haunted school, likely from the 80s. I also remember a scene where a construction vehicle was moving a ton of dirt. I also remember kids walking down a hallway in said school and a scene in the bathroom. That's about it.
Thank you for reading!

The haunted school made me think of LADY IN WHITE (1988)
Reminds me of Prom Night (1980) flashback scene. Know that was a convent not a school – but looks like one. Not sure if there was any dirt movers – but this was my flashback.
Those are some scarce details.
Any further details? For example:
was the film American or foreign?
Black and white or color? (guessing color)
Was it on broadcast. VCR or what?
I have to say that your story of actually watching the horror movie in a daycare on a haunted plantation sounds like a pretty good set-up for a horror movie itself.
The construction detail … Did "The Gate" have any construction stuff? "Poltergeist"? They both had construction/digging going on at least in the periphery.
