Movies And Shows You Just Can't Quite Remember The Name Of

I have two more, they were both videos I found on Youtube, might have been about 10 years ago, they were both found footage.

One was a news report of an ongoing zombie Apocalypse. I think the news reporter was a black man. They had one video sent in that was supposed to be an authentic zombie video, but I think the reporter came to the conclusion that it was a bunch of teenagers messing around as he apologized for its low quality. There was another video sent in with a report on some autopsies done on the zombies; one zombie had all of its internal organs removed, but was still moving, the other was strapped down. The reporter on scene got too close to the strapped down zombie and got bitten.

The other video was of some reality show where the contestants had to stay in a house together. There where two people (a man and a women, we never see them on screen), who controlled the cameras (which could only pick up sound if whatever was making the noise was in front of the camera) and could talk to the contestants through speakers. Throughout the video, we could hear the man and woman arguing. At some point in the video, they suspect that one of the contestants that had been thrown off the show has broken into the house (I think it was because some of the cameras stopped working). The man and woman get one of the contestants to check it out. After said contestant doesn't come back, the man and woman wake up the other two contestants, and try to get them to leave the house (I don't remember if the police were ever called). Neither contestant wants to (I think it was a rule that if a contestant left the house, they would be disqualified), but they both do after some arguing. They both walk into an area where there are no cameras. One suddenly comes running back to a working camera, screaming "He's got a gun!". The feed cuts, and the killer is holding the camera, pointing it at his face with the last contestant's corpse in the background. The last scene of the video was a card that said the killer got away, and that the man and woman were sent to prison for letting the contestants die.

There's a live action TV show that I just can't remember the name of. The premise is that this guy gets into an accident with his wife and son. After the guy wakes up from a coma, there's two realities; one where his wife died in the accident, but his son lived. In the other reality, his son died but his wife lived. Everytime he goes to sleep, he switches between realities. He even has different therapists in each reality
The protagonist was also a detective. I think it aired in either the late 2000's or the early 2010s. It only lasted for one season.

Sounds like Awake. I never saw it, but it looked interesting.

I recall a film that I am 100% confident was a Sci Fi original movie. It was a bunch of people on a boat where machines were taking over the bodies of the people and essentially assimilating themselves in with the crew (a la The Thing).

I only remember the ending scene in particular. The lone survivor (the chick) is drifting out in the ocean after the ship goes down and she sees what appears to be the body of one of her crew mates (who was the only one not killed by the robots, he was washed off the ship and presumably killed). She swims over to the dude and he suddenly starts to sperg around and grab her, indicating that he's a machine too.

Mustve been 15 or so years since I watched it, so it goes back, but there are only so many Sci Fi original films.

When I was a kid, I saw this TV movie, might have also been a feature length pilot for a TV show.
Looked like it was from the late 80's at the latest, based on the footage quality.

The protagonist's wife boards a plane to go back home. In the middle of the flight, the plane suddenly disappears from the radars and all communication is lost. A few hours later, it appears again and safely lands.
The woman goes home and reunites with her husband, everything seems fine. All of a sudden, she attacks him, he fights her and a piece of her skin falls off (after getting hit with something heavy, I think), revealing that she's a robot.
He destroys her and then he goes on a quest to find out that's happening.
Turns out that during the time when the plane disappeared, every passenger was replaced with a robot.
The movie ends on a cliffhanger, without the guy finding out who's behind it all but continuing his quest (hence why I think this might have been a pilot for a series).

I've asked around online about this thing for many years but, as far as I know, I'm the only one who has seen it.
Even people on various sci fi/horror forums didn't know what I was talking about.
Maybe it flopped and there was no follow up but even so, I would like to rewatch it and find out what was planned, I need to know the conclusion.

Anybody?

Sounds like Annihilator from 1986:

There's was this kablam rippoff on kids wb that was hosted by a couple animated kids just like kablam I can only remember the girl name was no joke...Karen and that she had a cat that may have been evil because it was always attacked the boy host when the lights went out.

Can't remember the name for the life of me even all these years later
 
I don't have much to go on here but here goes anyway. This is a movie from the 70s or 80s about some kind of car race. One of the guys is wanted by the police. At the end of the movie he intentionally crashes and dies. I remember asking my uncle why he did that and he told me it's so the police couldn't get him.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? I can never remember the name. I saw it on TV when I was a kid. I know it was a movie and not an episode of a TV show.

This may be 1971's Vanishing Point:

 
There was this artsy film about a black guy who was a vampire that I slept though. It wasn't Blacula, it couldn't even be called Blaxploitation, it was very artistic. There was also murder and drugs and it was kind of about how evil like that spreads like how the vampire would change others into vampires as well.
It had this very long scene set in a church where the main vampire finds salvation (I think). It was in color, and looked to be shot on film.
There was also a scene where a dude is just running, in slow motion, with his cock out.
Those are the two scenes I remember the most, really.
I think the main was a detective or something, but I might be thinking of something else.

There's been this tv show about alien landing on earth, and getting stuck in some swamp, I think... he was stuck in his ship, that was stuck in a swamp, but he could communicate with a boy living nearby via boy's computer that could translate messages from the alien
this was 80's or early 90's show
 
I just rewatched Tales from the Crypt and a random memory popped into my brain.

I remember staying home sick from school once and watching an episode of a horror anthology series that aired on the (then) Sci-Fi channel. It wasn't as vulgar or violent as Tales from the Crypt, but it also wasn't a kids horror show like Goosbumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? It fit somewhere in between.

All I remember is that the episode ended with a fat guy (who I thought was the devil or some stand in for him) barging down an old woman's door and listing all of the sins she had committed before condemning her to hell.

I only watched the show the one time (since, you know, it aired during school and I had to go back the next day) and this was pre-internet, so I couldn't go look the show up right away, and as time went on, the title faded from my memory.

So...does anyone remember a horror anthology show that aired on the old Sci-Fi channel back in the day?

Monsters ran on the Sci Fi Channel in reruns. I think Tales from the Darkside did as well.

That sounds like one of the extras from the Dawn of the Dead DVD.
This look familiar?
 
A film I caught on tv around 20 years ago when I was sick. The plot is about a kid that is stranded in a forest after the plane he was on crashes, I think there was something about a bear menacing him and the film ends with the boy being rescued.

There's this one with James Marsden and some blonde guy. Apparently they are (were?) lovers or something but I remember that Marsden essentially spends most of the film bound and gagged.
 
There's a 90s bully video I remember. It involves a kid who gets bullied by a group of kids because I think he had disabilities. The kid then runs into traffic and gets hit by a car and we wee a bloody shoe move across the screen and hit the pavement. The bullies than feel all bad about it. Luckily the kid doesn't die and the bullies promise to be nicer. I remember watching it back in 3rd grade and was shocked by the bloody shoe.

There's also another video I remember where a white kid and a black kid to to a museum. A woman who works there than shows them a watch and they travel back in time ( I think the 60s or 50s). The two kids than see how segregation was back then.

There's quite a few on those PSA's I saw but barely remember. Another once involved a girl going to am older man's house where he had her put on revealing clothes and take pictures of her. She didn't mind until she saw he put the pictures in frames and saw how revealing the clothes were. She then left the house leaving the man confused. I think this came from a PSA that was multiple shorts rather than full length.
