a movie i need help with the title.

i saw this guy asking about a movie he couldnt think of and that made me think that i have one i also cant remember. so i decided to give it a try. ok this movie is about a boy and a girl who think there is a monster in this lake but what it turned out to be was like a big tractor in the lake and when the air built up in the claw it would rise out of the water and it had moss and grass covering it so it looked like a monster and the girl got caught in it and the boy figured it out by looking at her fishtank and seeing a treasure chest that did the same thing. anyways this was an 80s movie and ive tried doing google searches but i just cant find it. any help would be hot. thanks.

    That sounds more like a crazy dream or a bad acid trip than a movie, man.

    All I remember is that The Simpsons did a ripoff of the movie in one of their halloween episodes, the one where Willy turns into a tractor when people die when they fell to sleep.,

    That was a Scooby Doo episode. The series with the special guest stars(Scooby Movies). In this particular episode, the Harlem Globe Trotters guest starred and they went to visit Shaggy's grandpa. There was a lake monster scaring off all the tourists, but it turned out in the end that it was just a big movie prop.

    Oh, as for the movie....I have no idea, lol.

    I remember this movie too.  I think that setting was actually an old abandoned quarry or mining site that had become partially submerged by water over the years.  There were old rusted trucks and equipment laying about, and at the bottom of the pit was an old steamshovel that was now totally underwater.  When the winds blew just right, it's claw like bucket would rise out of the water like a prehistoric monster.  I also remember the girl that got caught in it and the boy who freed her, the ending was pretty good.  I seem to remember an old indian being in this movie also, and when the title comes to me, I'll make a better reply than just my sketchy memories.

    Re: a movie i need help with the title.

    Sorry to bump a thread that is over seven years old, but I came across the title today and happened to remember this thread.

     

    This movie was released as The Quest (1986) in USA, Frog Dreaming in Australia, and The Go-Kids in Europe.

     

    Not that anyone will care.
