Cry Panic (1974) reminds me of another 1970s TV movie we’ve discussed here: Dying Room Only (1973.) Both, in turn, remind of a common formula, variations which are used in any number of other movies. This is the concept of someone witnessing something that no one believes. In these two movies, it’s actual people that

Despite its reputation, even though I believe it’s improved over the years to become a cult classic, I really liked Killdozer (1974.) It’s a fast-paced thriller that’s not any more ridiculous than, well… almost anything else. In fact, I prefer it over the other “possessed machines” movie it evokes, Maximum Overdrive (1986.) Call it Minimal

Not all blind buys result in the revelation of unknown cinema treasures, but I’ve had a run of good luck during recent years. That is, until I recently cracked open the Blu-ray for Castle of the Creeping Flesh (1968) that I had to pre-order from Severin when it was first released. The presentation is beautiful,

Scream of the Wolf (1974) is a beloved TV movie directed by Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows); however, probably due to the dark print I watched on YouTube, it was just OK for me. It’s apparently available on any number of public domain DVDs, but nothing about that news tells me it would look any better

While constructing last week’s post, I noticed a movie called, Fragment of Fear (1970), that at one point was exhibited as a double feature with The Brotherhood of Satan (see poster above.) A cursory glance at IMDb told me it wasn’t a horror film, but there is a murder, so I decided to feature it

We’ve been working through our 70’s TV movies chronologically. I originally didn’t include this one because it wasn’t technically a “1970s TV movie.” However, it easily belongs with the others and did have a major re-airing in 1974. Plus, it acts as a bridge to go back to the future next week where we left

We’ve been working through our 70’s TV movies chronologically. However, we’ll occasionally backtrack to see if any we missed the first time have become available. Such is the case with today’s film. This week brings us another unsold television pilot and a 1970s TV movie I really didn’t think I was going to like. Lo

We’ve been working through our 70’s TV movies chronologically. However, we’ll occasionally backtrack to see if any we missed the first time have become available. Such is the case with today’s film. Baffled! (1972) has all the characteristics of the television pilot that it is. Considering the formula has been utilized many times in other

Wow, I don’t know where to start with this one. As good as any place, I’ll say that the sheriff’s deputy, Tobey, in The Brotherhood of Satan (1971), looked awfully familiar to me. Sure enough, it’s Alvy Moore, none other than Hank Kimball from Green Acres! I guess for your first project after a six-year
