The Bad Seed (1985)dir. Paul Wendkos
No specimen was produced for this film. It did not feel right to me.
Another made-for-TV movie from that summer with my grandma in Kansas, this one an ABC Movie of the Week. I ended up developing a phobia of patent leather tap shoes for several years after watching the character Rachel chase Mark onto a pier. I am very certain I watched her step on his hands while he held on. I remember it so viscerally that it frightened me for a long time. I have asked multiple people if they remember that scene. No. I have searched through the depths of hell on Reddit. No. Nobody can confirm it. It is possible ABC removed the scene for later broadcasts, but I was there on that couch, and I remember looking at my grandma completely freaked out. I know what I saw!!!
