Hi all..

Hoping someone can help me.. I think I'm starting to go insane!

I remember a movie I saw back in the 90s on vhs..

I think it had vultures on the front cover with the actors pictures..
There was something to do with a booby-trapped scary type of mansion..
Possibly with a competition between the main characters to find money or treasure..
With creepy hosts..
Most likely from the 80s..

Does this trigger anything with anyone?

Any help would be much appreciated :)

House on Haunted Hill?

no.. It was waay before 'house on haunted hill'.. somewhere more in the 80s..

It's funny.. I can almost see the cover of the vhs in the video shop.. but the details of the actual movie are lost in the 'forgotten things' part of my mind..

Thanks for the help though!

Was it more of a comedy?

Yes.. from what I can remember.. kind of in the vein of 'dirty rotten scoundrels'..

Thanks!

YES!

Funnily enough.. I gave the description to a guy I work with yesterday and he said the same thing.. I was off with the three vultures on the front.. and a little lost on the plot..

Got it on dvd for $8 (aussie).. Can't wait to see it!

Problem solved.. thanks for saving my sanity :)
