Made-for-TV horror movies top 5

[enyawd72]

What are yours? My picks are...

The Night Stalker
Salem's Lot
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
Gargoyles
Curse of the Black Widow

And I have to include Ghost of Flight 401

[Hedji]

This is the one that stands head and shoulders above all others:

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

Can't say that I've seen too many TV movies, but the ones have seen include, Salems Lot, Dark Night of the Scarecrow and Hotline. Thought these were pretty good. Like as already been said though, Salems Lot stands above.

Looking forward to watching 'Don't Go To Sleep' now though. One that's been mentioned in another thread.

The Kim Darby fireplace movie (I forgot the name)

Shatner as a priest in the airplane

Killdozer

[PNGwynne]

Good list--Curse of the Black Widow is campy fun.

No Dan Curtis' Trilogy of Terror?

[johnnystorm]

Duel (Dennis Weaver)
Gene Roddenberry's SPECTRE
Night Stalker & Night Strangler
KillDozer
The Last Dinosaur (more scifi than horror)
The Legend of Lizzie Borden with Elizabeth Montgomery

and scariest of all, Captain America with Reb Brown


BTW, I think the Kim Darby movie was Don't Be Afraid of The Dark?

[drquest]

I was going to add Trilogy of Terror to the list

[drquest]

Also how about Tales from the Darkside the movie?

[JediJaida]

Vampire, with Richard Lynch. Scary as hell.

Burnt Offerings with Melissa Sue Anderson. Who knew she could be evil?

Sorry, that was Midnight Offerings.

[ShadowAvenger]

The Kim Darby fireplace movie (I forgot the name)

Shatner as a priest in the airplane

Killdozer

They would be Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The Horror at 37,000 Feet both from 1973.

...and scariest of all, Captain America with Reb Brown

Hey! I like that movie! LOL

Poor Reb gets no love. Sure, he couldn't act but he was just so darn sincere. And likable.

[Earth 2 Chris]

^Those movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. And I agree, Brown gets by on his earnest likability.

I REALLY need to see Salem's Lot. I've never seen it. Duel is nail-biting awesomeness.

[Iron Mego]

Dark Night of the Scarecrow made a lasting impression on me.

[PNGwynne]

I love "Duel," but to me it's more suspense than horror.

And let's not be hating on Reb Brown .

I had completely forgotten "Spectre." And what about "The Norliss Tapes"? These to me are macabre but not truly frightening, so maybe they don't warrant inclusion.

[PNGwynne]

Does anyone recall "Dr. Cook's Garden" with Bing Crosby, by Ira Levin?

Haven't seen it in ages, I'd like to re-view it.
