Kinder-Spotlight :: Christmas Evil!

UNK SEZ: A while back while I was assembling the "Avalanche of Christmas Horror" post, I found myself needing one screen-shot from CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980). As I started scouring through the film I realized that it was going to be difficult to pick just one. I genuinely just love the way this low budget film was shot and the time period and the mood it captures. If you've not seen the SYNAPSE edition released a couple years ago and are only familiar with the film from its many shoddy public domain releases, the difference is a real eye opener. Anyway, I'm going to share with you about half of the images I gathered because if I don't use them soon, I'll have to wait another year! Hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Name That Trauma :: Reader Cody on a Faux Final Destination for Women

So, I don't think this one has been done before, but I could be wrong.
I think this was a T.V. movie – a miniseries actually. I think it aired a lot in reruns on Lifetime. I could be totally wrong here. It may not even be a miniseries. What I remember is that it was probably made-for-T.V.; it probably aired over the course of a couple nights.
The main character was some blond woman who took a vacation and while on vacation almost died. I think by drowning, maybe in a boat with some guy. But since she didn't die some kind of FINAL DESTINATION stuff happened and she had to face down seven demons or something that were coming to try and claim her soul. One was a boy on a bicycle who appeared in a parking garage, I think.
At the end she thinks it is over but it isn't – she still has one more to go, and she thought they'd all come. There may be a climax involving a fish tank.
Any help I would appreciate so much!

UPDATE: NAME THAT TRAUMA SOLVED! A heaping of bionic thanks to faullguy for pointing us towards the LINDSAY WAGNER tour de force FROM THE DEAD OF NIGHT!
Name That Trauma :: Reader Kathleen on an Animated Sacrifice

Hallo!
I love your site, and am very glad it exists, thank you!
There's something I'd really, really like to find.
It was an animation and I know it showed on T.V. at least twice sometime in the late eighties to early nineties, in the U.K., but probably elsewhere too.
It looked a bit similar to DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS visually ('realistic' human figures), but didn't have the same feel at all, some of it was really menacing and alien but it was showed during the day, and it had no sense of humour. It had a title a bit like 'LORDS OF TIME AND SPACE' or something like that, but I've searched and can't find anything like it so far.
I remember a particular part where there were three young male characters, one was a boy I think and the other two were both young men, one was blonde and one was dark – and these two did not seem to like each other.
They were on some kind of mission and had to get into some place where some weird sacrificial thing was happening (it felt like that anyway). It's all a bit of a blur, but I think one of the two young guys ends up sacrificing himself for the others (the dark one I think, but I have a feeling it's because he thought he was going to get something out of it) and there's a totally weird image where he jumps down into some pit from a platform, and he's having a nasty shock then on a weird white fleshy orb with white tentacles sticking out of it, and they're all flailing up around him with all this white, yellowish, hard flashing light.. it was not nice at all! The other two escape and I guess he dies there.
It didn't seem to relate to anything else on T.V. at the time, a one-off thing.
I really hope someone else remembers this clearly and can name it! I'll do anything to see that horrible thing again!
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Kathleen
