Man, this thread is bringing back memories I thought I'd lost on an old ringpost!  I watched MOON OF THE WOLF last night after posting about it, and that damn werewolf look wasn't bad at all - hell, it was refreshing to see, after all these big CGI wolves lately!

I LOVE that movie. I watch that a few times a month.
I would have to put The Night Stalker, Night Stangler, Dan Curtis Dracula and Dark Shadows TV show at the top of my list. When I used to watch DS on TV I was only 7yrs old and to me that stuff was scary! Used to have nightmares every night after watching that. I use to think the severed gypsy hand was in my closet.

Scream, Pretty Peggy is an American television movie directed by Gordon Hessler. The teleplay was written by Arthur Hoffe and Jimmy Sangster. It was produced by Universal Television and broadcast by ABC as a segment of its Movie of the Week series on November 24, 1973.

The title character is a college student and aspiring artist who works as a housekeeper in the mansion of mysterious recluse Mrs. Elliott and her oddball sculptor son Jeffrey. She becomes suspicious when George Thornton comes to the house looking for his missing daughter, who once worked in the position she now holds, and even more so when she learns Jeffrey's sister, whom she was led to believe was on an extended European vacation, actually is mentally dereanged and living in the apartment above the garage. Undaunted by warnings from her employer, Peggy is determined to befriend the girl, a decision that leads to a lot of mysterious doings and a Psycho-inspired climax.


Where Have All The People Gone? was a made for TV movie that was broadcast in 1974. It starred Peter Graves, Kathleen Quinlan, George O'Hanlon Jr., and Verna Bloom.

This movie speculates on what would happen if a massive solar flare erupted and anyone without a particular gene dies from a mutated virus.
[edit] Plot

On a camping trip in the mountains, a dad (Peter Graves) and his two teenage children are exploring a cave when the solar flare hits. After emerging, they soon find that everyone is dead, and there are only a few survivors left scattered across the country. Most, out of fear and survival, are out for themselves, but as they try to make their way home (where the mother had returned earlier from the camping trip), they find two people that need their help as well as a man who invites them to be neighbors.

They face dangers ranging from wild dogs, who seem to have been driven mad from the solar flare, to an armed gunman who steals their car. They rescue a woman (Verna Bloom), and later a young boy whose family was killed by two men who stole their car. Besides the physical journey, they struggle to overcome the emotional trauma of the events


Can't say I really remember alot of these well. I do know that if it was creepy/crime/disaster I did my best to stay up and watch them.

I'll post this link again. A fair amount of these are available on DVD.

"Peggy" sounds cool......"Haunts" sounds kinda cheezy, but I like cheeze.

I'll throw one more into the mix (theatrical).  Count Yorga, Vampire.  Saw this one in a theater when I was about 14.  Scared the hell out of me.  There's just something about the almost documentary style of the film that just hits home.  Even as an adult, it still gives me the wiggens.

You know, as legendary as that flick is I still haven't seen it.

When Yorga peers into the van - whoaaaa!  Very creepy!

[BaronLatos35]

Scatter, get Count Yorga on your Netflix queue man!

A favorite of mine. Quarrya makes a great Count and a menacing vampire. The Return is OK but still has some great scenes.

UP...that van scene was creepy. How about when he seduced/turned the woman from the van later in her room?

When Yorga peers into the van - whoaaaa!  Very creepy!  

You nailed it.  Scariest moment in the movie.  I remember being truly terrified.  After repeated viewings, It works alot better on the big screen.  But still, a very solid 70's vampire movie.

The Return is OK but still has some great scenes. 

Like the attack scene in the house.  Even after all these years there's still something very disturbing about that scene.

"Zoltan, hound of Dracula" cant remember much, but I always liked this movie..that's the problem,nowadays...trying to remember movies from the past..when yer brain cells aren't working to well. 

"Snowbeast" Yeti monster attacks Ski resort, another fave of the Bigfoot movies I have seen, and it's been a long time, since I have watched this one. Have it on vhs somewhere...

"Salem's Lot" one of the best Vampire tv movies ever made, the main vampire is so freaky looking, scared the heck outta me when I was younger. one of my fave parts, is when (cant remember his name, but he also played in "Moon of the wolf" the girl victim's brother)
he was sitting in the rocker chair, rocking back and forth, and the camera close up showed those yellow eyes...creepy.
