I remember that movie from when I was a kid, born in 1968.. It was a great movie where the hero (played by Jackie Gleason's sidekick from the honeymooners, who's name escapes me) ends up catching the villian him by creating these two arm bands or cuffs that can be locked together. He manages to get the guy in a bear hug and lock his wrists together.
Seems pretty unlikely by today's very reallistic and graphic standars, but when I was ten or twelve years old that movie was very intense.

Which reminds me of another movie that I cannot remember the name of. A movie where a socially inept and misunderstood boy accidentally kills a little girl and in attempt to hide him his mother closes in her closet or pantry and hides him in there. At some point she goes into the hosiptal for a seemingly simple procedure and never returns. Eventually the house is bought by a family and they do not know he is still there living in that closet and has access to the attic so he can see into all of the rooms.

This one really freaked me out. There is a scene where one of the teenage girls in the family sees something move behind a hole in the wall and when she gets right up close to the whole to look in the guys eye appears there suddenly. Man that scared the crap out of me for months.

Wish I knew the title of these two movies.
