Speaking of Ghost Story...how about the movie? 

about the 4 friends who meet the beautiful woman, they become friends with her.
Later one get's romantic with her, and the others become jealous..
Push comes to shove, and they think they killed her..so they place her in her car and push it into the bog...
Only she isnt dead, and they watch her drown..
Then she comes back as a Vengeful spirit and she get's her revenge!!

Big name cast...although, I cant remember their names  ;D

it's a great Ghost movie...

LOVE that movie!! Fred Astaire was in it, the girl was just beautiful. This one has to be on DVD somewhere.

I want to see the remake too. But, I am more excited about DVD release! Don't, still
holds up today, still a GREAT tv movie!

Oh yeah.........no matter how good the re-make is, nothing will ever replace that creepy 70s vibe for me.

I wish a Toy company would have produced toys or action figures of the Creature.

Anyone ever seen "Burnt Offerings" (1976)?? Oliver Reed and Karen Black and their son rent a possessed house from Burgess Meredith for CHEAP. The catch?? The house is out to kill them, and Bette Davis is upstairs.

All star cast, all star horror!! The swimming pool scene and the living trees alone make it worth the watch!

Maybe with the re-make and the release of the original on DVD somebody will get to this long overdue project?? If so, count me in!

O.P. beat me to the punch.  The Night Stalker would be at the top of my list with Night Strangler being second.  O.P. also noted that Robert Cobert's score had a lot to do with the overall feeling of both of those films.  I always thought the biggest mistake the series made was not using Cobert for the music. It was like having a James Bond movie without the Bond theme (Never Say Never Again).  Anyone who watched Dark Shadows already knew the tone of Cobert's music.  The somewhat more jazzy score he did for both films worked perfectly.  Here's a bit of trivia for you, the name Janos Skorzeny was used for the name of a big bad in another horror series series years later.  Anyone know?

;D You are good, OG.

And just on a side note, both Ghost Story and Burnt Offerings had theatrical releases, they weren't just shown on TV.

Oh, good catch John!! Well, we'll give a bit of leeway. If it was shown on TV in the 70s and creeped folks out, it's OK with me!! I actually wanted to include theatrical releases in the thread but was afraid it was too broad. But now that you opened the floodgates, let the water in!!

Burnt Offerings was shown on television first, then theatrically released. Some may disagree
with that? There two Film books I own, where I have read the details of Burnt's release.
Also, at a Horror convention Karen Black as a guest for R. ZOMBIES:House of 1000 Corpses,
she solitified/ substantiated the info of Burnt and it's release.

Ahhhhhhhh........you can always get the inside scoop at the UMA!

Hey, how was Karen Black in person?? Sometimes you can tell they don't give a crap about the fans and are just out for a buck. Tell me Karen wasn't like that.
