    What is the title to this horror/haunted house movie?
    I saw this movie decades ago, possibly in 1969, so it was broadcast by one of the networks. The film was in black and white, I didn't see all of it, here is what I remember:

    There was a terrified man inside a house in which his tools seemed to have a mind of their own. The saw was sawing by itself, the hammer was hammering. I think they were outside the house and he was inside. At one point, I think he shouts "what do you want from me?" at that point the hammer starts to build a coffin.

    It sounds as if you may have seen a rerun of one of the episodes of
    The original "Twilight Zone" series. In one, a man's tools and machines
    Revolted against him.

    "A Thing About Machines" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.
    SYNOPSIS

    An ill-tempered writer who reviles and constantly abuses machines starts to think machines are conspiring against him.
    The people he tells about this write him off as paranoid, but eventually every machine in his house (including his car) turns on him.
    His typewriter types, "GET OUT OF HERE FINCHLEY." The TV shows the same message, as does the phone. Finchley runs from
    The house to be confronted by his car. The car chases him to his pool and pushes him in. He sinks to the bottom and drowns. When the police
    Pull him out of the water, they can not explain how he could sink to the bottom when he was not weighted down (normally, a body would float).
    They figure he may have had a heart attack.

    The Production Code for the above episode is 173-3645
