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…

By the time Death Stalk (1975) got around to any details that interested me, I was already washed down the white-water rapids without it. Normally, a movie starts out strong, then poops out. Here, though, the beginning is so grating that any subsequent redeeming qualities are too little, too late. Overall, it’s not bad. However,…

With each name in the credits, my anticipation grew… Written by Robert Bloch, directed by Curtis Harrington, starring Ray Milland… I was about to watch another terrific TV movie like The Cat Creature (1973), an homage to classic horror of days gone by. Sadly, that didn’t happen, and it’s not just because it wasn’t what…

Within the last thirty years just off the east coast of the United States, more than a thousand men, women and children have vanished from the face of the earth. No one knows how. Or why. This is one explanation… Now comes the time for another 1970s occult subject: the Bermuda Triangle. We’ve seen TV…
