There’s no love to be found for Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby (1976), the TV-movie sequel to the classic film, Rosemary’s Baby, even though those who have seen it and read Ira Levin’s sequel novel, Son of Rosemary, claim the film is better than the book. I can understand not liking it, but I’m…

In many ways, Death at Love House (1976) reminds me of a previous 70’s TV movie that we’ve discussed here: The Dead Don’t Die (1975.) Unfortunately, one of the ways is that I didn’t like it very much. In their own ways, both deal with the golden age of Hollywood and feature glorified cameo appearances…

For a film about Charles Manson that avoids most of the gory visual details, Helter Skelter (1976) maintains for three-plus hours a style and pace that keeps its murder investigation and courtroom drama compelling, engaging, and terrifying. It originally aired as two parts on television. Viewers must have liked part one, because its ratings were…

Similar in purpose and style, One of My Wives is Missing (1976) evokes another 70s TV movie that we recently discussed: Conspiracy of Terror. I could almost copy and paste content from that review into this one. It was a pilot for an intended series. It features an eccentric lead character. It relies on genuine,…

At one time I would have been able to list off the top of my head Murder on Flight 502 (1975) as one of my beloved Farrah Fawcett’s (then, Fawcett-Majors) 1970s TV movie appearances. It had sunk into the quicksand of my memory when I started watching and saw her name in the credits. Had…

After four terrific, some remarkable, 1970s TV movies, the streak ends with Beyond the Bermuda Triangle (1975.) It’s below average, for sure, but I rated it with six vintage televisions because I liked how it ended. Getting there, though, is a long, slow, journey that’s barely worth the time or the effort. Fred MacMurray stars…

The UFO Incident (1975) is a remarkable telefilm that maintains our streak of high points in 1970’s TV terrors. I didn’t expect this reaction when I learned it takes place mostly during hypnosis sessions and focuses on the drama and dynamic between the married couple that have repressed memories about an incident that occurred two…

Conspiracy of Terror (1975) was a delightful surprise, not because of the thrills and chills, but because of the thoroughly charming characters and the easy-breezy execution of its episodic format. Like several other 1970s TV movies we’ve discussed, this was a failed pilot. However, it’s one for a series that I could imagine watching week…

Consensus is that the third story of, Trilogy of Terror, Amelia, is the best part of the 1975 TV movie. I don’t disagree; it’s a masterpiece of horror on any sized screen. However, because Karen Black stars in the other two stories as different characters, I tend to enjoy them, as well. Although they move…

Growing up, I must have had a thing for axes. The “Frozen Fear” segment of Asylum (1972) is something I’ll never forget watching at the theater for the first time, and The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975) was a much talked about television movie on the playground at school. The latter is the “true” story…
