In the first story, Karen Black plays a school teacher who is having an affair with a hot young student who tries to blackmail her. It turns out, she's manipulating him, not vice-versa.

The second one has Karen playing the good and evil twins.

The third is Karen being hunted by the devil doll (best one!)

No "Cobra vs Komodo"?



Oh you meant horror not horrible.

Suprisingly I havn't seen any of that list.

I hated It. You can see Home for the Holidays on the Tube.

They left out the Republican National Convention, a non-stop cavalcade of horror and absolute EVIL, starring John McCain as the Doll and Karen Black as Sarah Palin.

Anyone remember The Stranger Within with Barbara Eden? Not scary but a lot of fun, especially her salt cravings.

Roscoe---I'm definitely going to have to add that one to my Top 10.

I preferred the "Dracula" with Jack Palance to his "Dr. Jekyll."

I recently rewatched the original "Salem's Lot." Truly creepy. There's a pervasive sense of dread that stayed with me for days.

I agree about Palance's Dracula being better than Jeckyll & Hyde.

And also about Salem's Lot, which I think is the best of all the Stephen King TV movies.

Oh my GOD, I remember THE STRANGER WITHIN. Barbara Eden having a rather unusual pregnancy. I remember one really weird scene where she goes to a library and reads entire books at a glance, and a moment where she takes LPs out of their sleeves and runs her hands over them, clearly taking in the content through her fingers, really stayed with me.

The ending was unusual, too, I seem to remember, not just a run of the mill horror flick.

How about I Saw What You Did? I guess not really a horror film.

Ooh! Not a horror movie (more sci-fi, I guess), but does anyone remember that TV movie about a young woman who goes to teach in a sort of Amish-like community? And everyone shuffles around without picking up their feet--because, as it turns out, they're the survivors of a spaceship crash, and they were shunned (and burned as witches) because of their power to fly?

I can't remember the title or who was in it, but I loved it as a kid.

Anybody . . . ?

That sounds like The People, with Kim Darby and William Shatner. Every time Kim Darby was in something, I always wanted it to be either Elizabeth Montgomery or Patty Duke.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:26am

That's it! I knew you'd know.

I want most people to be Elizabeth Montgomery.

I remember The Stranger Within...I loved when she rubbed the lps on her belly!

Danny Glick scratching at the window, Marjorie Glick in the doctor's office and the final showdown...eeps! Salem's Lot wins. The remake sucked.

The book kept me awake as well.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:28am

Doodle, yes! That floating at the window thing was direct-to-the-bloodstream creepy for me.

I haven't seen the remake. Don't bother?

I would have added Duel by Steven Spielberg to the list.

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:32am

Duel is one of only about 3 films by Spielberg that I actually like.

Anyone remember The Screaming Woman with Olivia De Havilland? Another one of my favorites. She did a lot of running in that, as I recall it. A TV-movie channel is a "most-wanted" for me!

Let's say it pales in comparison, Reggie...same goes for the tv remake of The Shining.

[JohnBoy2]

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:39am

Other than that open-mouth kid, I much prefer the TV version of The Shining, a film I was disappointed by, when it was released.

I have "The People" on VHS! I loved that movie as a kid.

I wanted to be those telekinetic flying kids in the forest when I was little.

In addition to Kim Darby and William Shatner, it also has Diane Varsi ("Peyton Place") as the wise old local who helps Kim understand what's going on.

Love this movie!

And it was produced by Francis Ford Coppolla and directed by John Cordy (Miss Jane Pitman)!

Oh, that kid was just bizarre, JB!! He was all over in the mid 90s, and was featured in another of my favorite telemovies, "Indictment: The McMartin Trial"..."daddy put his stick in my..."

Rebecca Demornay wasnt awful, but the guy from Wings was so not-scary...

Nowhere near as good as Nicholson and Duvall, imo.

I want most people to be Elizabeth Montgomery.

Elizabeth Montgomery was also really good as Lizzie Borden in a surprisingly bloody early 70's TVM.


Oh, and the remake of I SAW WHAT YOU DID with the Carradine brothers and future SAW/THE BLOB star Shawnee Smith was damn good.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 9/10/08 at 10:49am

OOh...LOVE the Lizzie Borden movie!

My problem with Nicholson and Duval, is that they are both creepy, right from the start. The story was all about the slow decent. I don't get that from that film, at all. Just creepy, dirty-looking parents (I mean did Shelly Duval even wash her hair for the film?) But then, I've never seen a Kubrick film that I liked. Not one.
