I watched a movie on TV in the mid 1990s about a person in a school bus driving around a town and kidnapping children. I never saw the end of the movie, and that’s pretty much all I remember, besides that it was set in the 80s or 90s. It may have been a van and not a school bus.

Any ideas? My sister and I have been talking about this move for almost 30 years now and just have no idea how to find it…

Thanks, [filmfind.me](http://filmfind.me) community!
