Sometime in the 80s I saw a movie on tv about a posessed house. The main female character had been a little girl the last time she was in the house, and she inherited it. During one of the scenes, the electric gates closed on a car and crushed it, killing the person inside. What is the name of this movie?

I'm not sure if it's what you're thinking of, but that sounds like the original version of 'The Haunting' - one of the eeriest movies ever.

This sounds like a TV movie from 1981 called "This House Possessed"

The house killed in some quite innovative ways, and it was the librarian who was crushed to death in her car by the gates.
