Just posted this on a help-find-horror-films type website and thought I'd copy it in here in case any of you guys remember it.

I must have been between ten and twelve years old (I'm now twenty four) when I saw this movie and remember very little. It was set in what I seem to remember was some kind of isolated lab with a team of researchers and maybe support staff like a female cook. The premise was the team opening some kind of possibly dimensional gate and letting some kind of creature into our world which perhaps picks them off one by one. A particular scene that's stayed with me is when a large female who I think may have been the cook sticks her arm into an air duct where the creature is and is attacked or pulled in. She can't scream because she has an apple in her mouth and I can remember being pretty scared. The movie finishes with one of the female staff crossing over to the other dimension, coming back and saying something like "there's thousands of them" before being pulled back through. Hope this is enough information.
Thanks,
-Ally


edit:
Can't edit the title.. bit of a Freudian slip I think..

check out Prince of Darkness by John Carptener

http://imdb.com/title/tt0093777/

it came out in 1987 so it sort of fits your timeline and it's about a team of researchers who... ok i forget exactly why they're there but there's some sort of dimensional gate involved and people die one by one. I don't remember a cook having an apple in her mouth as she's pulled into an air duct so this might not be it, but as a top-of-my-head suggestion i'd say look at this and see... If Alice Cooper commanding a group of satanic homeless people and those little interstital bits on DJ Shadow's Endtroducing album talking about "you are recieving this transmission from the year 1-9-9-9" seem eerily familiar to you then this is that movie.

I thought of Prince of Darkness too, but it sounds more like the first Phantasm to me.
