Scare tactics

I just saw an ad for the upcoming horror movie "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," and I kept thinking it must be a remake from the 1970s or something.

IMDB doesn't say anything about that, but I swear, wasn't this movie title around in the 1970s? Or am I thinking of "The Eyes of Laura Mars"?

    Could you be thinking of "Audrey Rose"?

    Or like me, you're getting confused by the short story "A Rose for Emily" -- Faulkner, maybe? The one about the necrophilia?

    This made me think of a movie I saw a really long time ago. Maybe it was one of the movies in question, I don't know.
    I think I saw the end of the movie. What I remember is a scene where three little girls (sisters?) are riding in the back of the car, the parents driving. One girl falls asleep and as a prank the other two tie her shoelaces together. Then they get in a car wreck, and the girl with her laces tied can't get out of the car and dies when the car explodes. T
    Then later, the mother (I think the same mother) says something about cutting a pizza and a crazy little girl (possibly the ghost of the dead one?) Goes around with a pizza cutter severing the phone lines and stalking around the house like she's going to kill someone. I think the very last image in the movie is the girl standing there with a knife or something and goes: "Hi...MOM!" Then the mothers screams and fade to black.
    Does anyone know what movie this is?

    I think it is a TV movie from 1982 called "Don't Go To Sleep" I must have been 7 or 8 when I watched that movie and it is still stuck in my head. I remember a little girl with a flowers in her hair and a boy falling off the roof.
