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…

Silver Bullet (1985) isn’t a bad werewolf movie, but it suffers from coming near the end of a series of much better ones. After The Howling (1981), An American Werewolf in London (1981), and The Company of Wolves (1984), it’s kind of hard to compete. This was my first time watching it since its original…

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. Although it never quite combusts, The Devil & Miss Sarah (1971) is a slow burn genre hybrid just interesting enough to be entertaining.…

I run to death, and death meets me as fast, and all my pleasures are like yesterday. Holy sonnet VII, Jonne Donne The Seventh Victim (1947) is my least favorite of producer Val Lewton’s early films. In fact, I think I’d rank them in the order they were made: Cat People (1942), I Walked with…
