  I'd hazard a guess at "Buried Alive"?

  It now sounding more like a Hitchcock or twilight zone type thing. How would I find out what episode it was? I tried the other suggestions and its not them although I have seen Weekend at Bernies. Good film.

  Might as well ask for a movie myself as the "theme" is similar. I saw it as a kid and think it was a 70s or 80s insect horror flick which featured ants. Lots of ants. Actually, bazillions. Anyway, I remember pretty much nothing of that movie but I still have this rather scary image in my head where a few people are sitting in a room, completely covered by ants, and having straws in their mouths through which they breathe. Ring a bell?
  
  Edit: Blimey! I just entered "movie straws breathe ants" into Google, not really expecting to find anything, but found an IMDB entry for a movie called "It Happened at Lakewood Manor (1977)". I guess I'll have to find it now and watch it again :D

  that rings a bell.. I'm guessing it's the 1972 movie because of the clothes. and it'd be the 80's I'd seen it.
  
  it was a late evening thing like hitchcock / twilight zone.. but I'd say more hitchcock as I remember him introducing stuff

  I'd have to see it again to know. but I do remember bits of it.
