Seven More TV Movies To Keep The Family Awake All Night
A while back, iHorror brought you a list of scary TV movies that the whole family can enjoy. Because there are so many more than were covered there, we’ve got another list of television broadcast terrors for you. These ones are all from the seventies, when network television was still able to be terrifying…
Don’t be Afraid of the Dark
Before there was the 2010 Katie Holmes/Guy Pearce spookfest, there was this little 1973 TV movie. The story is essentially the same; a couple buys an old house and discovers a horde of little monsters live within the walls. It’s one of the most legendarily horrifying TV movies ever made. Stars Kim Darby and Jim Hutton as the couple.

Bad Ronald
Speaking of living within walls – Bad Ronald is about a teenage boy who continues to live inside the walls of his house after his mother dies and the house is sold to new owners. Of course, he starts stalking the daughter of the family that has moved into his home. This creepy 1974 movie is ripe for a modern remake. Stars Scott Jacoby in the title role.

Moon of the Wolf
Moon of the Wolf is a fairly standard werewolf movie about a small town sheriff who discovers that the string of murders plaguing his little burg are the doings of a lycanthrope. The werewolf himself is more I Was a Teenage Werewolf than An American Werewolf in London, but what do you expect? It was 1972. Stars David Janssen and Barbara Rush.

Someone’s Watching Me
Often considered a “lost” John Carpenter film from 1978 (the same year Halloween was released), Someone’s Watching Me is about an woman who, as the title suggests, is being stalked by a mysterious stranger who peeps on her in her apartment and calls her to tell her about it. Stars Lauren Hutton, Adrienne Barbeau, and David Birney.

Night Terror
Night Terror is a 1977 TV movie about a young woman who is relentlessly pursued by a psychopath on the road after she witnesses said psychopath kill a policeman. Valerie Harper plays the road rage victim.

The Spell
Also in 1977, one year after Carrie hit theaters, TV viewers got The Spell. It’s about a high school girl who uses her psychic powers to take revenge on the classmates who bully her. Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s Carrie. Keep an eye out for a young Helen Hunt in this one.

Killer Bees
In the seventies, there was an overblown fear of Africanized honey bees making their way to America, partially because of movies like Killer Bees. This 1974 movie isn’t a typical killer bee movie, as it focuses on a single woman who controls the bees on her farm. Stars a pre-Charlie’s Angels Kate Jackson.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed
Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.
This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.
The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.
The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.
Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.
Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
