There were two of them that really freaked me out when I was a kid. One was called "The Death of Richie," I barely remember it but it was about this teenager who gets all f***ed up on drugs. All I really remember was that at the end, Richie went completely nuts and his dad had a gun, and Richie kept screaming, "Shoot me! Shoot me!"

    And his dad did (I guess in self-defense). And it really freaked me out.

    The other one was called "Long Journey Back." It was about this teenage girl who was riding the bus home from school when the bus stalled on some railroad tracks and got rammed by a speeding train. Her best friend got killed and she wound up losing a leg, and the rest of the movie was about her recovery. Nowadays I'd probably think that the scene where the bus got nailed by the locomotive was cool, but at the time (I was like 6 or 7 years old) it really freaked me out, and not long after I saw that movie I was riding this junky old Ford bus home from school and we were going across the railroad tracks when the engine began to die, and I started to freak out. The driver managed to get the bus across the tracks (and there weren't any trains coming so in hindsight we were never in any real danger), but still, after seeing that movie, I was pretty scared.

    I did learn one important lesson from that movie though: Never shift gears while crossing the tracks.  ;D

The first one that freaked me out was "Trilogy of Terror ". The 3rd story with that little Zuni doll. I was so scared of that thing for years afterwards. I was about 5-6 when I saw it. How I managed to at that age, I don't know.
The other one was " Bad Ronald ". That's the one where this boy accidentally  killed this girl and his mom hid him in the walls of the house. She then went into the hospital for surgery and she never came out. The new family that moved in didn't know that he had drilled little holes in the walls to spy on them. But then he is infatuated with one of their daughters...

" Bad Ronald ".


horrible. scares me still.  so many sick movies came out at that time.
I was always frightened by the ones that had...like...the girl moves into a sorority house and finds out they are all witches and they all try to kill her...which was that?

I don't remember "Bad Ronald," but it sounds pretty wicked.  :o :o :o

trilogy of terror was a hot one. there was one, it actually might have been from the early 80s, dude kills his wife, dismembers her, carefully wraps up the body parts in brown paper and twine and stores them in the basement refrigerator. then the INDIVIDUAL BODY PARTS come back to life and crawl after him in the paper, slithering like snakes and making little crinkly noises cuzza the paper, and kill him somehow for revenge.

it was, like, not okay. anyone remember the name of that movie? know the flick i'm talking about?

come to think of it i think that was a theatrical release so i'm way off topic. :-[ but now i'm too curious to remember the name of that flick to delete the post.

It was called Asylum.  I saw that in middle school-my school used to bring movies in once in a while and the whole school watch it. Yeah, they did bring in some "great" movies for kids, huh? Other movies we saw were Ben (yes, the rat movie) and The Blob.  ::)

did you see that youtube link i posted? it's totally that scene! it looks a little hoaky however many years later but it's still kinda spooky.

and yeah, 1972. i saw it much later than that, i guess it musta been a rerelease or something.

No I didn't see the youtube link. I rarely look at youtube because it takes forever to download-d@mn dial-up and right now I am doing my anti-virus scan which makes everything even slower. Maybe sometime when I have time (and the patance) I will check it out.

They were cranking out some really strange made for TV movies back then. Most were so bad you can't help but remember the few good ones -- like "Duel", "Brian's Song" and "The Marcus-Nelson Murders".

I remember Ben fondly. Who doesn't love a touching movie about a boy and his rat? It came out just after Willard, and around the same time as Stanley, the touching movie about a boy and his rattlesnake. As to what did creep me out? I was about 3 when I saw a movie about Faust. I don't remember most of the movie, just the end, where all the lost souls reached up from Hell to drag Faust down with them. Then, at around 4 or 5, I saw this Japanese movie Attack of the Mushroom People. I wouldn't eat anything with mushrooms for years. Oh, and the opening to Creature Feature with Dr Paul Bearer.

right...i was going to mention "don't be afraid of the dark" and i am pretty sure it was a made for tv movie but i'm not sure.

"Don't be afraid of the dark" is one of my favorite movies.  Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. 

The original "Night Stalker" movie with Carl Kolchak gave me the chills, along with some of the tv show episodes. :o

stephen king writes a big ole thing about night stalker in his book danse macabre. it's a really cool nonfiction book he wrote in the early 80s, all basically reviews and pontificating about horror and whatnot.

Children shouldn't play with dead things. http://www.badmovies.org/movies/childdead/index.html. Originaly saw this on the late night show when I was about 10 or eleven. Gargoyels from 1972 ,saw it on abc's movie of the week http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0068622/usercomments?start=30
Something evil (1972) beleive it or not Steven Speilberg did this made for tv horror.Satan's school for girls, featured a young Cheryl Ladd.
My favorites though (other than children shouldn't...) was trilogy of terror.

dude, straight up? they make a big thing about steven spielberg doing "duel" as a made for t.v. movie in 1971, it's a pretty kickass movie. i never heard about something evil, though -- anything with cheryl ladd in it will pique my interest. she's a babe!

There was a movie that was about reincarnation and witch trials. 

I don't remember much but there is a scene where they use a door and place it on top of a witch and pile rocks on it. 

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

The Devils Rain? 1975 with Ernest Borgnine,Eddie Albert, William Shatner, Keenan Wynn, John Travolta.
In the wake of Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, the devil and his disciples became prime subject for independent filmmakers. The Devil's Rain is one of the better films that came from the flood. Corbis (Ernest Borgnine) hunts a Midwest family as he searches for "The Book," an ancient tome stolen centuries ago containing the names of the devil cult's disciples written in their own blood. As he turns the family one by one into dead-eyed soldiers for Satan, surviving son Tom Skerrit struggles to free them and keep the tome out of Corbis's hands. Robert Fuest, who directed the offbeat cult classics The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rises Again, cranks up the ghoul factor with arresting images of the black-eyed zombies wandering through a desert ghost town. The cast (including a stiff William Shatner and a tired Ida Lupino) is more solemn than spirited. Only Borgnine sinks his teeth into his role, preaching the word of the devil with gusto and theatrical flourish and transforming into a horned demon in a blood ceremony. It's an inconsistent picture but Fuest creates moments of gripping horror and builds to a dynamic climax that delivers the promised devil's rain with sizzling results. The film has garnered some fame as John Travolta's film debut, but he's practically unrecognizable as a hooded cult follower.

Audrey Rose ?

The Reincarnation of Peter Proud was also creepy. Wish I could find it on DVD. Anybody?

Audrey Rose ?


Nope, I do like that movie, though.

I'm thinking it's got the name of a town in the title...

Got it! Crowhaven Farm! It was bugging me too after you mentioned it so I searched and finally found it, even though that name still doesn't sound familiar, but it gave the same senario about the door with the rocks piled on top.

Night of the Lepus - giant mutant killer rabbits, believe it or not I was really traumatized by this movie as a young kid.

Gargoyles - probably shouldn't of been even watching this at 7 or 8 yrs old, but defintinly creepy. For a TV movie this one was pretty good...won't go into detail but till this day I'm scared or have bad feelings about mid '70's Ford County Squire Station wagons...

Duel - another TV movie, Steven Spielberg's first, not really scary but, suspenseful. Throughout the whole film I remember wondering why this guy doesn't just turn around and go home...

Never saw this movie but I can relate: When I was little I saw so many early '70's Ford LTD's wrecked on TV (on cop/detective shows) that I was a little scared of them.

One thing I remember about some late 70's-early '80's TV shows is that they used to cut a lot of corners to trim down their production budgets, sometimes to the point where I'd find it insulting to my intelligence. I remember an episode of The Incredible Hulk where David Banner (Bill Bixby) just "happened" to be driving an orange Plymouth Valiant, and he was being chased by two rednecks who just "happened" to be driving a beat up old Peterbilt that was pulling a rusty tanker trailer, and for the chase scenes they just spliced in a bunch of footage from Duel. At the end of the episode David Banner got pissed off and turned into the Hulk and shoved the Valiant in front of the truck as it was speeding towards him, and I'll give you three guesses as to what happened next.  ;D ;D ;D

A made for TV movie (at least I think it was made for TV) that freaked me out was either about a group of people in early 1700's mainland USA or lived as if they were in the 1700's. The film centered on a little girl who had weird powers. She was being looked after either by her own mother or an aunt. The girl was given a black crow which couldnt fly as a pet.  I remember she was shunned by the townspeople and, at one point the aunt/mother decides to throw the girl a birthday party for the girl. The towns kids come and they end up throwing stones at the black bird chanting for it to fly, but they end up killing it. Thats all I can remember about that movie, and not even sure if it was a horror movie, but for some reason it freaked me out.


Another film (or possibly the same film) that freaked me out was about a woman who wasa witch, but a good witch. However some girl running around a big bon-fire catches alight and burns to death infront of the townspeople, who are powerless to do anything due to the intense heat. They blame the female witch...and thats all I can remember.







Now, two movies that I do remember which freaked me out were Helter Skelter and a mini-series about the Jonestown massacre.

Wow, I totally remember that episode! :o
Yeah, lots of corners were cut this way, I still watch old episodes of Hawaii 5-O strictly for camp & to see the bad editing in of past episodes car/crash scenes when they think we won't notice (McGarrett leaving in a two door Merc, and arriving at the crime scene in a 4-door). ::)
If a director/producer can sneak in a car chase/crash scene from an old movie to save $$, they did.
Any number of '70's TV's shows were guilty of this practice.

I thought I was the only one who remembered that. One of the most pathetic things shown on television in the '70s.
If the Hulk wasn't bad enough -- but I did like seeing what ticked off Bill Bixby into becoming the Hulk -- that one was just plain stupid.

reminds me of the stuff like in battlestar galactica they'd always show the same half dozen dogfight scenes over and over again. i was like twelve minutes old and even then i was crying BS.

The very worst example I remember of this was on an episode of "CHiPs" where Ponch was dating some hot racer chick, and her racecar just "happened" to be a red and blue Plymouth Satellite with the number 43 on the door. I was like 12 years old and I clearly remember rolling my eyes and thinking to myself, "You've got to be kidding me! Do they really think we're that stupid?!?" Of course, later on
in the episode she got into a spectacular wreck where the car flipped over like 9 or 10 times at 200 mph and sprayed parts everywhere. If I remember correctly she walked away from it with only minor injuries, but I have this feeling that Richard Petty wasn't so lucky.  ::)

I think that's when "CHiPs" really "jumped the shark" for me. Up to that point I was kind of on the fence about it, but after seeing that blatant insult to my intelligence I realized it was one of the stupidest TV shows ever made.

Cheap ass bastards.  >:(

There was a SPECIAL 2-HOUR EPISODE! of The Dukes of Hazzard where a stunt show was at the county fair and Luke was going to attempt this dangerous stunt where he had to jump over 50 wrecked cars (I think the promoter offered like $10,000 to the first person who actually completed the jump). One of the stunt drivers with the show attempted to make a practice jump in a white early 70's Plymouth Fury.  Back then the body styles of American cars changed a lot more from year to year so it was a lot easier to tell the difference back then.

Anyway, when the stunt driver made his approach to the ramp he was in like a 1972 Fury. But it was a magic Fury! Because as soon as it left the ramp it was a '74 Fury, then when it went sailing through the air it was a '75 Fury, and between the time it took off from a dead start until the time it crashed about 3/4ths of the way down the pile of wrecked cars I spotted no less than five completely different model years of Plymouth Furies. (In hindsight I think the jerk got exactly what he deserved, because if I were to attempt to jump 50 cars then the last car I would choose would be a Plymouth Fury, which is built like a tank and weighs like 5,000 lbs. If the guy had half a brain he would've used something a tad lighter like a Camaro or Mustang or something.)

I mean sure, they were all the same color and they all had the logo of the stunt show company on their doors, but it still seemed kind of stupid to me. Of course, none of the other kids at school seemed to notice it, because at the climax of the episode they decided to use the General Lee and Bo jumped in with Luke and they made it across with flying colors, and afterwards they all went down to the Boar's Nest and had a good ol' time.



I'm being just a tad anal about this, aren't I?  ;D

I forgot about " Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark ". I bought my sister a dvd of that from Ebay and watched it again after many years. Still freaked me out. Those monsters were spooky. How'd you like to wake up at night and see them running around your house  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/09/smhair2.gif

When I first saw it, "Deliverance"  :o :-\\

Now, when I see it, the fact that Burt Reynolds is in it is the part that freaks me out the most  ;D

Hands down, it was that d@mn zuni doll in Trilogy of Terror.  I can still see it cutting it's way out of that suitcase.

I found an old VHS copy of this movie with Johnny Whittaker and it was called " Something Evil ". It was about these things in jars out in the barn and they glowed and he was possessed by them. I remember that from tv and thought it was weird. I have to rewatch this again.

Another one that I remember was from 1977 called " The Spell " with Lee Grant and a very young Helen Hunt. The oldest daughter was overweight and the other girls made fun of her and called her names. But she has supernatural powers that she would use. There was  a part in there that scared me when I was young. The mom's friends wife came down the stairs and all of a sudden she started smoking from her mouth and burning up and she ran outside to the pool and her husband ran after her and they showed his hands were burnt from trying to help her. I found a  copy of this movie on Ebay about a year ago and that still gets to me, that scene.

hmm, that was a popular theme in the mid to late 70s, younguns with supernatural powers. sounds a lot like carrie and -- was it sisters, the brian de palma flick? i've actually never seen it. there was a really little known movie called "patrick" from around that time about an evil dude with mental powers too. i dunno if it was made-for-t.v. though.

we were just talking about helen hunt. did you know she was in an afterschool special? she did a bunch of angel dust and jumped out of a window. in the show, i mean.

'i've actually never seen it. there was a really little known movie called "patrick" from around that time about an evil dude with mental powers too. i dunno if it was made-for-t.v. though.'



I think weve spoken about that movie on these boards before...I have it on DVD...Its a little known Australian film from the 70's. Quite creepy too.

Hey, youtube has quite a few trilogy of terror clips.

:D

There are two TV movies that FREAKED ME OUT during the 1970's!!!

The first one was "One of My Wives is Missing" with Jack Klugman and ELizabeth Ashley.  I saw it in 1976 when I was 10 years old.  My parents were out and I was watching it with a babysitter and I was totally freaked out at the end when the old man got stabbed to death in the kitchen.  It was a great movie but when I saw it years later I couldn't understand what was so scary. 

The second movie is "Helter Skelter" also from 1976.  To this day this movie scares the CRAP out of me!!  Such great acting.  The 2004 version doesn't compare!!

This was such a great topic!!!

I LOVE THE 1970's!!!!!

:D

The first one that freaked me out was "Trilogy of Terror ". The 3rd story with that little Zuni doll. I was so scared of that thing for years afterwards. I was about 5-6 when I saw it. How I managed to at that age, I don't know.
The other one was " Bad Ronald ". That's the one where this boy accidentally  killed this girl and his mom hid him in the walls of the house. She then went into the hospital for surgery and she never came out. The new family that moved in didn't know that he had drilled little holes in the walls to spy on them. But then he is infatuated with one of their daughters...


I had nightmares for weeks because of the Zuni Doll. There is a guy who sells replicas on Ebay. I think I'm gonna get one.



I was always frightened by the ones that had...like...the girl moves into a sorority house and finds out they are all witches and they all try to kill her...which was that? 


Was that Satan School for Girls with Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd?

For me it was always those family on vacation gets terrorized by... movies. One in particular that comes to mind has a family in an RV and they are tormented by a "gang" on dirt bikes or dune buggys or atvs

There was another one where a family comes to a town and there is a burning at the stake I don't remember much more about it but I know I was disturbed by it.  I wonder if it's the same film lorac61469 mentioned
WOW!!!  I remember that also, too bad I don't know the name of it  ??? ???

I remember Trilogy of Terror too. Karen Black locked it in a suitcase and it cut it's way through. It was chasing her all over the house.
