Hello folks, I need help from the experts on indentifying a movie. Its a horror movie where two grave diggers uncover an ancient site and find an artifact that contains the devils hand. In the whole movie it possess people bodies through their hand and makes them do evil things. It's almost funny and scary at the same time. I don't recall the actors, but I remember the female lead gets it in the end.

Also, this movie was showed several times during USA Networks old series done during the 80s that showed mostly horror movies on the weekend called "Commander USAs Groovy Movies" series that aired from 1985-89." Jim Hendricks was the Commander and this was before Ronda Shear did her number on USA "Up All Night."
I'm also looking for the title of a movie about a family whose plane crash on a deserted island. I'm afraid I don't remember much about the movie, but I think they use part of the plane they crashed in to use as a boat to get off the island.
Does anybody remember the name of the horror short that also appeared on late night TV on USA Network back in the 80s about a guy who worked at a department store and did more than dress mannequins. He talked to them and they started to do more than talk than talk back. Their lips never moved but he could hear their voices. Somewhere along the lines they turn on him and it's like they touch him enough that he turns into a mannequin. It was dark, scary and mysterious. Anyone remember the name of this and where it can be found for viewing? Thanks for your help!

Well, there are three movies I can think of with possessed hands in them (Who'da thunk it, huh?-- Also, this doesn't count The Addams Family.):
The Crawling Hand- Probably not what you're looking for. It was featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Black and white. An astronaut self-destructs his ship after a strange occurence, and his hand is found on the beach. A local teen slowly is possessed by the hand, trying to strangle folks. Also, the hand crawls around the house, killing landlords and such.
Evil Dead II- 1987, only 80's movie on this list. Ash visits a cabin with his girlfriend, Linda. Linda is possessed and bites Ash's hand, which is then possessed and kicks his butt. He does the rational thing by cutting his hand off with a chainsaw, but the hand gets away and causes mischief. Although, the hand really is the least of his problems in this flick.
Idle Hands- A 90's movie starring that one guy who was the lead in Final Destination. His hand is possessed and he can't control it, so it kills his friends. He cuts it off and it runs amuck, killing others. It has Seth Green as one of the friends who comes back from the dead if that helps.
The second one is kinda hard. Swiss Family Robinson?
No idea about the third one. Probably not Mannequin.

Hello, Thanks for your reply.
This movie I'm thinking of had a few nobody actors if I remember correctly, along with the plot that rules out Evil Dead II and Idle Hands. It wasn't a black and white and not featured on MST3000. I think it had Devil, Satan in the title somewhere, but not hand or anything like that. I searched imdb.com a long time ago and don't remember what I did in the imdb search to locate the title.
Ok, I'll look up the second one.
The last thing I'm looking for was a 15 minute short that appeared on late night TV on USA during the late 80s. It's very obscure and rare, so I'm looking to see who else might remember it.
Very much appreciated. Anyone else have any ideas?
