I'm trying to remember the name of a movie I saw as a young kid at the drive-in.. The only part I really remember is this guy puts on a suit and the collar tightens and strangles him.. Then I remember him dead in the back of a garbage truck wrapped in a dry cleaners bag, and the truck was smashing him. He was blue... That's all I can remember but I remember being SCARED :eek: to death for months after seeing that movie.. any ideas what it was called..

Being that you're a emt your over the fact that your scared of horror movies now,ha,ha. It sounds like I seen this movie but I can't seem to remember it either. But it sounds like the movie when garbage men go postal no just kidding. But it does seem like I've seen this one to let me ask around or then again I might have the movie.

You're looking for the 1973 movie Arnold (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069732/) (a Bing Crosby production!), starring Roddy McDowall, Stella Stevens, Elsa "Bride of Frankenstein" Lanchester, Farley Granger, Jamie Farr, and fat Victor Buono. An imdb.com reviewer recalls that "cast dies through many grisly deaths. One person is compacted in a garbage truck, another choked to death from a suit, another interred for life in a vault, another beheaded, and a couple pressed together between two walls."

Thank you so very much! That is the movie. I owe you a big favor, for this has been driving me crazy for literally decades. I will name my first-born child after you!
