Tom: Request

Tom, is there anyway this movie could be manually added to the database?

www.imdb.com/title/tt0095018/

For some reason IMDb has decided to classify this and three other movies as episodes of a TV show even though I'm pretty sure this TV show never existed, at least formally. These had always been classified as movies before but IMDb decided to change it about a year ago. Heck, one of these is even a sequel to another movie. The other three movies had already been added before IMDb made the change. Each of these four movies has individual releases and has never been considered part of a TV show as far as I've seen.

'brivido giallo' was a serie of tv movies produced by an italian tv company. They produced 4 movies. "a cena col vampiro" is one them

It still wasn't really a TV series as much as it was a special such as this... www.imdb.com/title/tt0196767/.

The above title was it's own movie but it aired in a weekly ABC Weekend Specials slot and so they categorized it as an episode. A year ago IMDb listed this as a movie as well but they've made some poor changes in my book.

I don't know how they were released outside italy, but here they've always been credited as a tv serie, a 'real' one, as far as I know.. Bytheway, if you're referring to L'Orco as a sequel of Demoni, that's a common mistake. It's not a sequel

I know that it's not a real sequel but I meant in name only, much like Halloween 3. I guess Demoni 3 (Black Demons here) is there real sequel although La chiesa (The Church) also tries to make that claim sometimes. Still, IMDb had always classified these as TV movies until recently. Really my point is really that an exception should be made in this case. The other three were added before the change was made and I was hoping maybe Tom could add it since regular users cannot.

..oh, wait, ..now I get what you were complaining about. Listal doesn't display single episodes. Sometimes this is quite annoying! I have the same issue with Masters of Horror, or even the x-files..

I had the Masters of Horror in mind as well. It just happens I've yet to see them so I didn't worry about it. Admittedly, I haven't seen seen any of the Demoni movies as of yet so I was just basing of of things I've heard but yes I really think exceptions like "brivido giallo" and "Masters of Horror" should probably be allowed as single entries.

I've added it as a movie.

I can edit the year of release if that is wrong.

Thanks Tom. I really appreciate you adding it. The series defaults to 1986 but this particular movie was released in 1988.
