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

Earlier I was stumped looking for a T.V series from either the 90's or early 2000's. It had a woman who was killed early on but returns as a ghost or an angel to protect her younger brother from the agonist, who's the devil in disguise and causes the locals to sin. The only thing i remember from the show there was episode I believed John Goodman guest stared as a priest who's sin. The only lines I remembered when the ghost woman said, "kiss me" to the devil and he said "what?"

I tried in vain to find the show on Wikipedia or IMDB. Ultimately I was about to give up when I discovered I had the wrong actor as the priest! Pat Hingle guest starred as Father Tilden in American Gothic (1995), which Merlyn Temple (Sarah Paulson) plays the spooky ghost girl and Lucas Buck (Gary Cole) who plays the small town's sheriff and corrupts the locals to sin and cause harm to each other.

Despite the show only lasting one season it has a small cult following. Which to be honest doesn't surprise me. Seeing how Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a dedicated fanbase, multiple other supernatural themed serial dramas like Charmed or Sabrina the Teenage Witch have their own fans too. I haven't watched the series from start to finish but I might give it a try one day. I do like Lucas Buck as both a corrupt sheriff and devil in disguise character. Reminds me of Needful Things by Stephen King in a way.
 
There was this really weird movie I watched as a kid. It was about this kid who wanders into this burned out house that was apparently haunted (the elderly, previous residents just randomly showed up and said a few lines), something happens where he falls unconscious and has to get pulled out. The next day, he becomes bald. His friends find some kind of special concoction to make his hair grow back, but it winds up growing back super fast and continually growing until he has Rapunzel hair. Then he gets kidnapped by some artist/painter type guy who uses his ever growing hair as the source for making expensive paint brushes, which he has being put together by literal child laborers, and his friends and sister have to hatch a plan to break him out.

Yes, the movie was as bizarre as it sounds. Like if David Lynch made a kids film.

Only one of the greatest works of cinematic art to come out of the '90s.

Holy crap, the cast is pretty stacked for such a random looking film.

I might actually check this out, it looks amazingly awful.

It was definitely one of the more cheesy of the 90s action movies. Right up there with Demolition Man.
 
A movie which had a living thing made of yellow light, with a character commenting "A devil, with horns" (could be bad translation).

It is literally only memory of "my parents watching things on tv I am not supposed to watch with them" moments I can not pinpoint.
