Elevator operator tells scary stories, ends up trapped in the mirror [closed]
I'm looking for a movie or TV anthology series.
I believe the movie may have come out in the late 1980s to 1999. I watched it with Turkish dubbing and in colour. Possibly American movie.
- An elevator in a building starts with a few passengers.
- The elevator stopped working.
- Old man (elevator operator) started telling scary stories.
- He is telling three different stories. (In his stories, we are watching the film. I don't remember the stories.)
At the end of the movie
- Elevator starts to work again and the passengers are going.
- We see the elevator operator trapped in the mirror and he cries for help.
- Maybe a witch cursed the old man.
The old man was played by a black actor. A little chubby with white hair.
I thought it might be "The Twilight Zone", but it was not. I watched as a kid, I don't remember much.
Best Answer
Could this be the German TV movie "Geisterstunde - Fahrstuhl ins Jenseits" from 1997?
Rolf Hoppe was the elevator operator, he is white haired, but he is not black. (He is wearing a black tuxedo, that might have mislead your memory?)
Here is the plot summary from an IMDb-user:
A night watchman tells three extraordinary stories to a journalist and a producer, trapped with him in a lift. Embedded in a single story, three tales develop some interesting themes, notably that of a double persecutor. Some good actors for some harrowing moments.
(highlights by me)
Here are some pictures from that movie, they might ring a bell.
I only remember the old man, but what I've read on some German pages, the 3 stories are about:
A 17 year old girl meets another girl while sleepwalking. Later it turns out that this other girl lived in the same house, but was killed 33 years ago.
A female painter moves into a new flat and hears a man tyrannising his family.
An unsuccessful comic-strip artist, who creates a successful twin using a magical mirror.
