God I could sit up all night long and watch these classic horror movies from back in the day. I miss the good old days when movies actually tried to scare you and not just gore you to death!!!
That's what I/m doing now! Also, we're watching Poltergeist and other greats from the 70s and 80s - wonderfully creepy, really suspenseful and doesn't rely on cheap horror tropes of blood, violence and gore.
I would soooo love it if they would come out with a retro channel that would be dedicated only to made for TV movies from the 70's and 80's (maybe even include some of the HBO & Showtime movies from way back)..they have so many retro channels now for the t.v. shows from back then..so now let somebody put on their thinking cap and start a channel for the TV movies please!🙌🙌🙌
Good Idea i would definatly watch that channel as i do MeTV - Retro TV - antenna tv has Comet (is like a SyFy or Chiller channel on Antenna TV's) DM (Pgh,PA.)
Muzikgirl67 - AMC, TMC AND TV LAND. AMC. (American Movie Classics). That's the one. If you don't find the programs you want. Write them. They specialize in classics. Also they used to have TVLand, but I didn't watch it enough to know the depth and breadth of their programming. TMC (Turner Movie Classics) tends to focus on the Golden Era of Hollywood, with incredible Film Noir and sleepers that didn't have the star power, but were critically successful. . Anyway, check all three out, I'm sure changes have occurred since I stopped buying cable many years ago.
They’d ruin it though! It would be a reality show channel after the first year. They’d claim that it failed because there weren’t enough people watching without giving the reason that they could only get the rights to show about five of the movies in one year, so they just reran the same five over and over with some horrible old sitcoms (never the good ones) in between. Even premium channels show the same movies over and over. Even with the millions of movies created since televisions’s inception. Thank God that the premiums decided to start making series. Otherwise you’d only need to pay for HBO for one month, cut it off, and reorder it the next year for one month and so on. You wouldn’t miss a thing. They play the same thing each month, they just rearrange the order that they show them!
Fun movie. Well made. Clearly the blueprint for Spielberg's movie, Poltergeist. Loved seeing Darren McGavin and Sandy Dennis together. A lot of 70's familiar faces.
This movie came out the year I was born. I vaguely remember seeing this, and anything with Darren McGavin is pure gold, having grown up on Kolchak. I love these older movies, I grew up watching them, and I love horror films from my childhood. Horror films now are, in my opinion, vapid, empty, devoid of any real substance. This right here is a REAL horror tale.
@@nonenoneonenonenone Vegas actually....then Kolchak went to Seattle...then to Chicago.........but he mentioned during episodes that he had been a reporter in Philadelphia and New York long prior..(IE: before Vegas).
Actually, according to the original Night Stalker film, before Kolchak got to Las Vegas he was fired twice in washinton, 3 tines in new york. Twice in chicago and 3 times in Boston. See the original at about the 28:00 mark. Carol Linley speaking. Dont know if thats chronological order, but it was before Kolchak got to Vegas
I saw this movie with my family and we were all captivated with shear terror when Sandy Dennis goes to the barnhouse to see and hear who is crying noise. the wind effect and all just perfect.They were making TV Movies of the Week all over ABC,CBS and NBC back then and the entire nation were all glued in seeing them come out every week and the music added on to each one made them eternal classics.i met Sandy Dennis in person when she came to visit us here at St.Edwards University in Austin Texas.
GROWING UP IN THE 50'S N 60'S WAS A JOY! and waqs a TIME I WILL always CHERISH having to retire early in 2011 DUE TO old injuries n surgeries I was stricken w CHRONIC NERVE N BACK PAIN . This among other movies that keep me going.there are too many programs n movies to list here.As I age now 64 yrs.I miss more n more of my youth when times were much simplar.I am so glad UA-cam has such an extended libray here for us movie buffs to enjoy.Cheers! you ALL.
M. gregory - Sorry to hear about so much of your suffering, but relieved to know that you can find succor of a sort through YT. I have no pain, but am in a similar situation, being home most of the time and it has given me hours of satisfaction too. Bless you and may you find on going relief.
I wish you relief from your pain; I too suffered chronic illness for most of this past decade. Movies like this one still retain the power to remove me from my daily life and I hope the same for you. There was true imagination and collaboration at work here in these made-for-TV gems. You didn't have to rely on overblown effects of any kind to carry a story. I recall vividly being in junior high around this time (1960 baby here) and the following day during recess discussing these kinds of shows with fellow classmates and yes: even certain teachers who still bothered to take the time and effort to interact with students. Who could ever know how drastically and not for the better in my opinion our world would change in just a few short decades? Thank goodness for these memories, which transfer us back to those better days.
God, I finally found the film that scared me when I was 6. I was in Cornwall holidaying with my family when I saw this. The crying from the barn was what affected me most. I’ll always remember that I was convinced that I could hear a crying sound for the rest of the holiday. I know now as an adult that what I was hearing was actually just a peacock from the castle grounds next to the campsite. Nevertheless, that memory has stuck with me for over 50 years.
I was born in 1961 and I remembered seeing this movie after the couple in the beginning had the car accident. I was 11, same year I saw Gargoyals, another classic scary movie.
A spooky movie could run an hour and 14 minutes and down to the last 5 minutes a boy grimacing was all it took to give us nightmares and we liked it! That was the good old days!
In all honesty this movie is so good for some reason movies from the 70s especially most horror movies are excellent they have this eerie scary quality that movies lack these days. Thanks for uploading and sharing.
You are so right on Lydia! I second your comment. I was so happy to see that Steven Spielberg directed this. It was classic scary without the blood and gore, without cussing and without sex. Yay!!!
I'm old enough to remember these movies especially the ABC movie of the week. They are play by better actors and have better story line. I still enjoy watching them.
Sandy is such an underrated actress. I just discovered her in films a few years back and she is an amazing actress. i could listen to her speak all day. She died so young, and nothing is ever said about her body of work. I imagine she was eccentric in real life as well. I would like to see all her films
The 1970's gave us a lot of wonderfully scary made for TV movies. Every night of the week, a different network was airing these kinds of movies. They can't & don't make em like this anymore. Everything has to be graphic, bloody & gory now.
It's o do with politics too. These days they make things that will only appeal to the 'lowest common denominator', because that's where the money is. A very sad state of affairs.
John Molloy I've looked at a few of those on you tube in the last year or two. The one about Lizzie Borden (Elizabeth Montgomery) was very memorable, I loved it, there was a bit about the week old mutton broth being served up. It's on you tube, but it wasn't the best quality recording, but still excellent. There was another one about the teachers in a girls school who cut a man's leg off. That was on telly here (Australia) less than a year ago. It was really odd, because I'd been thinking about it for a few days before it came on.
John Molloy Yup, it was really wonderful, and E.M was brilliant in it! Another thing about telly of that time, late 70s early 80s, was that feminism took a high priority on T.V. I know I felt very sympathetic to her, as her parents seemed pretty dreadful! I was quite thrilled that she didn't get convicted. It certainly proved that E.M. was a really great actress!
This was one of those great movies from years ago, like The Haunting and The Changeling, back when directors didn't rely on teenage sex, gore, and CG to carry a film. Things have changed, and not for the better.
KstephiT The Changeling is a great film. They would never cast older actors in lead roles in horror today. It had no sex, nudity and no real violence, but it still remains one of my favorites. Glad someone else remembers it, too.
I like some CGI very VERY much if it's how Shrek, Despicable Me and so forth were made. And ESPECIALLY if that's how the new Dumbo was made. It's like the gay rights petitions I'm often asked to sign: the small print includes support for polygamists, whom I would not support for any argument on earth, even re-population of a post-apocablabla world with only a handful of men left in it. I dislike it so much (thanks entirely to the FLDS cult) that I'll stop supporting gay marriage if that's what it takes to make sure I'm not also supporting polygamy. So that's how it is with CGI. Teenage sex, gore, slashing, graphic serial killer-grade evil: I don't watch anything that has any of that in it, since long ago when I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and became an ex-horror movie fan for years afterward. Throwing CGI into every quick rundown of what we can't abide about movies these days is not apropos. It doesn't seem to fit. Where does it come from? The same place polygamy came from in support petitions for gay marriage. * big shrug * In either case, what's going to be arbitrarily thrown in next?
The Changeling is an underrated gem! Creepy as Hell. Another great (and nearly forgotten) creepy film is Don't Look Now [1973] with Donald Sutherland & Julie Christie and directed by Nicholas Roeg. It deals with loss and regret in a similar way. Those two films really stayed with me!
I saw this...along with Kill Baby Kill, The Dunwich Horror, Crowhaven Farm, The Shuttered Room...Black Sunday...but this one ...was the most traumatizing..oh..and "The Other"..creee..eepy.
I was not expecting anything as good as that. Production values, acting, editing, camera work and top direction from one Stephen Spielberg...genuinely creepy holds up very well almost fifty years on.
@@joycebrackbill-henderly8311 Me too, but I had forgotten. It came back in momentary images: Johnny Whitaker (a great child actor) crying, the loft door, the hex signs, crying babe, that bedeviled jar! Still didn't recall final revelation, tho remembered closing scene. Memories are amazing things - hiding in my head all these years, just waiting.
Darren McGavin will always be the Dad from A Christmas Story to me. Who doesn't love the scene when he gets the fish net stocking lamp, the crate is labeled FRAGILE but he pronounces it as if it were Italian... fra-gee-lay.
Used to love the creepy movies of the week, saw this when I was 7 years old and scared the heck out of me!!! Great quality true scary movies of the 70’s, so miss those days❤
It takes a movie sometimes to realize how one 's grown mature to appreciate a movie that didn't have special effects that one expected during youth.I watched this movie in 1980.
No way in the world would I have gone out to that barn in the middle of the night by myself. Not and leave my own child in the house with the front door open. No way!!! Johnny Whitaker was soo cute in this.
If this is the movie I think it is, it scared the crap out of me when I was 8 or 9 when it came out. It will probably seem cheesy as hell now, but it's movies like these that made me into a horror movie fan as I grew up.
I hear you. Those were the days when truly scary movies were made. I just seems today 'Horror" and Thriller films are just torture porn, and graphic gratuitous Violence. Leaving little to the imagination.
This has been the only movie growing up that scared the crap out of me. I am so glad I was able to watch it again :) that baby crying gets me every time lol
+Cynthia Jokela the red eyes in the window in the commercial did it for me. My dad let me watch it, and as soon as I seen those, straight to bed, with nightmares.
Ramona Barclay ha, ha when I saw the picture for this show, I thought the man in the red vest was Uncle Bill. I thought this was an episode of Family Affair.
I still remember this movie when I was a kid in school in the 1980's. It had a great impact on me and made me aware of the invisible world, superstitions and the world of reality and how everyone perceived this world in a different way and how to tolerate various perceptions of people and how they would hide them or portray them.
Thank you for putting this up. I saw this with a cousin and the housekeeper when I was 6 years old and had wondered what it would be like to watch it as an adult. I had no idea what the name was or that Steven Spielberg had directed it. I had tried to find it online several times but somehow missed it. I'm surprised I didn't remember Jody from Family Affair was in it. Anyway, thanks again for the trip down memory lane.
I am greatly disappointed in almost all the new so-called horror movies that are coming out. It's a relief we have these older, (better made) ones to fall back on.
yes like all those terrible horror movies like Get Out and Hereditary and A Quiet Place and the Babadook and 28 days later. It's not like these movies have lots of passion put into them to try and scare an entire new generation and its not like old horror movies get less scary as time goes on because the population evolves to live with things that terrify us. Because if you watched dr. Caligari or the old dracula movies you would be just as scared as if you were watching the day it came out. I mean come on. your generalizing an entire genre just because you're only watching slasher films which are supposed to be gory. If you don't Like slasher films it's fine it's even ok to say you hate horror movies but the only reason you like this movie over any other perfectly good horror movies is because you either grew up with these movies or you here that horror used to be way better. I bet in 30-40 years we will be hearing the same exact thing about movies that are coming out now.
I saw this movie on TV when I was a teen, I've been looking for it like crazy for years cause I wanted to watch it again but I couldn't find it anywhere, thanks for uploading it!
I did too and looked on line for it many times thinking maybe I remembered the name of it wrong. It's been probably 8 yrs since I tried searching for it and its finally been uploaded! I recalled the name after all! As a 10 yr old when seeing it 1st I wouldn't have been surprised if I remembered wrong.
I watched it in 1981 when I was about 6 or 7. It was one of those long Sunday afternoons when my parents were asleep/passed out. I always remembered the movie but not the title, so I never could find it.
Molly Thomas I see what you mean girl. You know what I think, I think technology is a problem in our generation, I only stay on the laptop or my phone because I'm bored. And too much tv is bad for our health unless it's animal channel lol.
yea, it's ruining our family, that's why i recommend old tv shows one is the waltons and others to where it teaches our kids how to care and have respect, compassion
JB ho ho ho. Back on those days our parents let us watch those kind of movies because they were free of sex, swearing or blood but they scared the s....t out of us ! 😂🤣
Getting ready to watch this movie for the first time ever. Sounds pretty good from the comments. Missed a lot of stuff from the '70's, since I spent half the decade overseas in the military. And some of the stuff from that era is just too dated for me (I can't watch a Billy Jack film or Easy Rider without cringing). But I agree that the old stuff was a lot better than the garbage that they've been putting out for the last 20 years. Gore is not scary, it's just gory.
Yeeeh that brings me back! I remember watching this as a little girl and all I cared about was to get such an Amulet! I endlessly begged my Mom and she realy made me one! Still have it... Thank you so much for sharing!
Notice Margaret Avery as the singer for the commercial? She would later star in The Color Purple also directed by Spielberg. Always be nice to your co-workers. You never know who they might be to you someday. 1:00:00
thanks for the movie.unlike today these shows tell a story which tries to engage your imagination. a lot of these actors and actresses were under appreciated. they didn't have the tech that they have today to rely on.again I thank you
I remember seeing this late at night on telly in the mid-nineties on our risque Channel Four, after decades of terribly weak middle class British television, with nothing but good scriptwriting and acting doing the work. It bothered me quite a bit for some time because of the psychological impact of the crying. Anyone can pump out blood and gore, but a mind trick like that does more damage to the psyche in my experience. This was the decade of proper dark horror.
+GohModley + Adam Welton. Agreed. A lot of "horror" films [esp last 30 yrs.] leave little to the imagination, filling it [you] with graphic violence, or over the top graphic images, or spec effects, which again leave little to the imagination, and IMO are unimaginative. A film which cunningly BUILDS suspense, skilfully crafts tension, fear and shock - via the acting and directing, music etc, are far more interesting and frightening. That is where fear and horror reign supreme - in the experience of the mind, and for those who have it, -the imagination.
your Mum sounds awesome!! I would love to check out some of your posters!! I have the same name on my Facebook account if you'd like to message me. I would like to view some pics of them maybe if you wouldn't mind. Maybe we could strike up a deal.
jokerswildio He directed an episode in the pilot of Rod Serling's Night Gallery back in 1974 or '5. You could instantly spot his technique all over the place: camera angles, lighting, pacing, etc. His signature on anything he touches cinematically is distinct and immediate recognizable.
Yes,,,and it works like a charm. The fact that he wasn't thoroughly educated in directing and learned more from on the job training and relying on his imagination probably helped.
I don’t remember this one but loved all the made for TV movies from the 70’s. This one has some greats attached to it. Jody from Family Affair did Tom Sawyer in 73.
I really love Darren McGavin. He was a very fine actor in his own right. Too bad movies like these are not made very often if at all today, instead of "shocking violence", Sick Psycho Horror and "Torture porn"
I totally agree. Darren Mcgavin was great. He had that voice you'd recognize right away and I'm a big fan of his Night Stalker movies/t.v show. Aka. Kolchak
alberto ciulini YES. Kolchak is the SHIT !! The failure of that show, SLAMED home for me, the fact that the taste of the "American" public and the effect resulting from it, should be treated like a most venomous spider infestation, that is hunting for You & Me. The prerequisite material which ALL modern "Pop" art is made from, the media and its specialised form of "Cock Suction". - especially the way in which something becomes "pop". Is by its own device, and nature, degrading, debasing, more so as time goes on, & as the media solidifies & refines its profiteering agenda. The Kolchak Night Stalker series needed some tuning up and some evolution, and then it WOULD have been what the X-Files became. The thing is..Kolchak was Real!! Yes Sir !! As sure as fresh SHIT sticks to a woollen blanket. Kolchak took out the WORST folkloric monsters EVER to escape the gates of hell, and Harass humanity. He DID it armed only with Osmium / Titanium "Balls" a "Corbomite" spine, a Steel set of "Guts", that pathetic excuse for...Fuck what is that thing he always carries? A purse? A Dick? No ...Wait...That embarrassing little kodak Instamatic...And his "Super" weapon of course is that wise crackin' Trap, mouth of his.. Fuck ME. But No Wonder nobody ever takes him serious. JESUS !! Look at that F@ckin' Hat ....WTF? IS that thing?? It gets worse. Kolchak is poor. No Gal. No Friends to Back him up....AND....He works at some jackoffial jerkwad News ? Service ?? LOL For that Bellowing, knuckle draggin' Italian Meatball VINCCENZO !!! Got sumthin' strange in YO neighbourhood? Who the F***K! You gonna call? Ghost Busters? FUCK NO !! Kolchak's Got All them night bumps right BITCH Slapped, and Shown' some GODDAMNED RESPECT !!!...Sorry I got carried away ...Again....shit....BUT Kolchak IS worth it Though.
Cyan Blackflower I agree also. From Kolchak to "A Christmas Story" Darren McGavin was as solid as they come. Can you imagine anyone else standing across the street from his house and admiring his "major award?"
DARREN McGAVIN I always hoped would lead the SAINT PATRICKS DAY PARADE as I would guess with the RED HAIR and LAST NAME he would fit right in! I seen an interview with him that many people think of him as POLISH because he said himself I LOOK POLISH!! Probably why they gave him the name KOLCHACK!!!! (polish sounding name?) If interested check DARREN on the TV series CIMARRON STRIP episode:the LEGEND OF JUDD STARR as ALL EPISODES of CIMARRON STRIP are available crystal clear from beggining theme to ending credits!!!! (CIMARRON STRIP CBS TV2 NEW YORK SEPTEMBER 1967 TRU 1968:90 MINUTE WESTERN SERIES******)
Sandy Dennis starred along side Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the Classic screen adaptation of A.B 's Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf. She is great in it. Its a brilliant film.
I remember this TV film in 1972 when I was 12 years old! Never forgot the red eyes looking through the window at the film crew when they played the commercial back and the red balls breaking the windshield on the car that killed the man and woman either!!
Good Movie! I am a Spielberg Fan (top 3 directors), and never knew about this movie. I am a movie buff, true and true...this was a little (only a little) bit cheesie in a couple parts, but over all...A very GOOD movie! According to one comment below, and I agree...they DON"T make 'em like this anymore...although they should!! THANK YOU for posting this!! Although I'm SURE it was back then, in this day and time...it WAS pretty eerie!!! Spielberg had some good starting films...TV and BIG SCREEN!!
This is Great I've been binging on these old classics for 2 days now..can't believe how much I've missed seeing these...With all of the Bullshit that's out now you tend to forget how it all got started...Thank you for these Wonderful uploads❤
I'm another who saw this movie when it first aired on television. Steven Spielberg is the director and the voice-over singer who appears at around 59:00 is Margaret Avery who would later be nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Shug Avery in Steven Spielberg's film "The Color Purple".
I agree with many of the comments made here and would add that I like the fact that the makers of the film don't feel the need to "explain" every little detail. It's just an evil place dude, get out (and they did!).
I remember this movie from when I was a kid, it was so creepy!! I remember the red eyes 👀. So glad to find it again! Two more good ones are Crowhaven Farm with Hope Lange and When Michael Calls 📺🎬

I love these older horror movies. So much better than the ones now
Better than Terrifier or A Serbian Film?
I've never seen this movie and I'm 62 years old I'm going yo watch this I like the older classes too

amen to that !
+Lj Jones awww what cool memories!
+Lj Jones I'LL DRINK TO THAT !
Can’t believe I was only 22 when this was made. I’m now 70. I’m enjoying it. 😆
I was 4 when this was made, and I’m really enjoying it too. Have always loved the old style movies, even when I was a lot younger too.
I was 7 now I'm 57 and enjoy more than then 😀
60 here
It’s a little like time travel; I love the lifestyle of life without tech
I'm 70 as well so I guess I was 22 also but I've never seen or even heard of these movie until today.
Darren McGavin and Sandy Dennis...in their prime! 70s made-for-tv films were the best. RIP sandy, gone way too soon. Thank you for uploading this!!
And Johnny Whittaker of the tv series’ Family Affair’. In the 60s
And he was in Tom Sawyer with Jody Foster. @@jessiejames7492
I would soooo love it if they would come out with a retro channel that would be dedicated only to made for TV movies from the 70's and 80's (maybe even include some of the HBO & Showtime movies from way back)..they have so many retro channels now for the t.v. shows from back then..so now let somebody put on their thinking cap and start a channel for the TV movies please!🙌🙌🙌
Muzikgirl67 well put a true 70s horror fan you have my respect
Good Idea i would definatly watch that channel as i do MeTV - Retro TV - antenna tv has Comet (is like a SyFy or Chiller channel on Antenna TV's) DM (Pgh,PA.)
Muzikgirl67 - AMC, TMC AND TV LAND.
AMC. (American Movie Classics). That's the one. If you don't find the programs you want. Write them. They specialize in classics. Also they used to have TVLand, but I didn't watch it enough to know the depth and breadth of their programming.
TMC (Turner Movie Classics) tends to focus on the Golden Era of Hollywood, with incredible Film Noir and sleepers that didn't have the star power, but were critically successful.
.
Anyway, check all three out, I'm sure changes have occurred since I stopped buying cable many years ago.
They’d ruin it though!
It would be a reality show channel after the first year. They’d claim that it failed because there weren’t enough people watching without giving the reason that they could only get the rights to show about five of the movies in one year, so they just reran the same five over and over with some horrible old sitcoms (never the good ones) in between.
Even premium channels show the same movies over and over. Even with the millions of movies created since televisions’s inception. Thank God that the premiums decided to start making series. Otherwise you’d only need to pay for HBO for one month, cut it off, and reorder it the next year for one month and so on. You wouldn’t miss a thing. They play the same thing each month, they just rearrange the order that they show them!
Great idea!
Fun movie. Well made. Clearly the blueprint for Spielberg's movie, Poltergeist. Loved seeing Darren McGavin and Sandy Dennis together. A lot of 70's familiar faces.
I can hardly believe this was shown in its entirety on TV in 1972. This is a very, very frightening movie. Way, way beyond today's movies.
This movie first premiered on Friday January 21, 1972 on The CBS Friday Night Movie.
+William Magaw Jr I dreamed that I was in a movie and that I was the star of the movie !
This movie came out the year I was born. I vaguely remember seeing this, and anything with Darren McGavin is pure gold, having grown up on Kolchak.

All the way to Christmas Story
Should that mean something to me?
Yep be both had a good movie released the year we where born
Pls this movie sucks! This isn't a horror movie........
The Night Stalker was one of my favorite shows when I was (much) younger.
I miss these made for TV movies from the 1970's when I was a kid. They just don't make them no more.
Sandy Dennis was excellent in this role! Her other-worldly, “disconnected” way of talking and acting made her the perfect target for paranormal
And johnny Whitaker is so homely he's cute♥️
You can't go wrong with these old movies they're the best ❤️
So true.
The house scared the dad so much he went to Chicago, became a reporter, and changed his name to Kolchak. Then pursued MORE supernatural things.
Seattle, not Chicago.
@@nonenoneonenonenone Vegas actually....then Kolchak went to Seattle...then to Chicago.........but he mentioned during episodes that he had been a reporter in Philadelphia and New York long prior..(IE: before Vegas).
Good one😂
At least Sandy Dennis had already had the child she wanted in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf". But apoarently it wasnt George Segal's kid! Hahaha 😂❤
Actually, according to the original Night Stalker film, before Kolchak got to Las Vegas he was fired twice in washinton, 3 tines in new york. Twice in chicago and 3 times in Boston. See the original at about the 28:00 mark. Carol Linley speaking.
Dont know if thats chronological order, but it was before Kolchak got to Vegas
Great movie from the 70s. Darren McGavin was such a great actor. 😘 Love his movies.
I saw this movie with my family and we were all captivated with shear terror when Sandy Dennis goes to the barnhouse to see and hear who is crying noise. the wind effect and all just perfect.They were making TV Movies of the Week all over ABC,CBS and NBC back then and the entire nation were all glued in seeing them come out every week and the music added on to each one made them eternal classics.i met Sandy Dennis in person when she came to visit us here at St.Edwards University in Austin Texas.

Also on UA-cam, Darren Mcgavin movie "The Challenge" early 70s made for tv.
@@MrLyndarenaud I believe they are on u tube now!
God, I finally found the film that scared me when I was 6. I was in Cornwall holidaying with my family when I saw this. The crying from the barn was what affected me most. I’ll always remember that I was convinced that I could hear a crying sound for the rest of the holiday. I know now as an adult that what I was hearing was actually just a peacock from the castle grounds next to the campsite. Nevertheless, that memory has stuck with me for over 50 years.
I was born in 1961 and I remembered seeing this movie after the couple in the beginning had the car accident. I was 11, same year I saw Gargoyals, another classic scary movie.
@@tonycollazorappogargoyles terrified me. When it was clawing the top of the car😳😳😳😳😳
Great memories...I catch myself remembering the same thing sometimes! ✌️
@@jugghead-1975 yes!!!! ⚔️⚔️⚔️
@@tonycollazorappoGargoyles terrified me for years!! 😱😱😱
That crying kid -in-the-barn scene really gives me goosebumps...
The baby in the jar gave me nightmares for a long time!
The woman is Sandy Dennis. She resembles my mother. That’s how I’ve never forgotten her name. Wonderful actress.
Your mom was beautiful, then.
A spooky movie could run an hour and 14 minutes and down to the last 5 minutes a boy grimacing was all it took to give us nightmares and we liked it! That was the good old days!
RIP Sandy Dennis. A great talent, even with less-than-stellar material like this. I saw this as a kid and was really scared.
I LIKED SANDY SHE WAS ORIGINAL.
She had a real hard life.
In all honesty this movie is so good for some reason movies from the 70s especially most horror movies are excellent they have this eerie scary quality that movies lack these days. Thanks for uploading and sharing.
AMEN!
I agree. saw many on tv as a kid.
You are so right on Lydia! I second your comment. I was so happy to see that Steven Spielberg directed this. It was classic scary without the blood and gore, without cussing and without sex. Yay!!!
I'm old enough to remember these movies especially the ABC movie of the week. They are play by better actors and have better story line. I still enjoy watching them.
You are right--there was something about the early 70s that was so eerie and depressing yet fascinating at the same time.
Sandy is such an underrated actress. I just discovered her in films a few years back and she is an amazing actress. i could listen to her speak all day. She died so young, and nothing is ever said about her body of work. I imagine she was eccentric in real life as well. I would like to see all her films
One of her best movies was Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf. They were all a mess in that movie!
@t.y.5565 you think she was a mess in Virginia Wolfe, you should watch, That Cold Day in the Park. Very dark movie.
The 1970's gave us a lot of wonderfully scary made for TV movies. Every night of the week, a different network was airing these kinds of movies. They can't & don't make em like this anymore. Everything has to be graphic, bloody & gory now.
Nacho Mamma They were really good too. I think the best television was made in the 70s.
+Mark Cloud You're singin' my tune! I feel so curmugeonly hating everything today but I do!
It's o do with politics too. These days they make things that will only appeal to the 'lowest common denominator', because that's where the money is. A very sad state of affairs.
John Molloy I've looked at a few of those on you tube in the last year or two. The one about Lizzie Borden (Elizabeth Montgomery) was very memorable, I loved it, there was a bit about the week old mutton broth being served up. It's on you tube, but it wasn't the best quality recording, but still excellent. There was another one about the teachers in a girls school who cut a man's leg off. That was on telly here (Australia) less than a year ago. It was really odd, because I'd been thinking about it for a few days before it came on.
John Molloy Yup, it was really wonderful, and E.M was brilliant in it! Another thing about telly of that time, late 70s early 80s, was that feminism took a high priority on T.V. I know I felt very sympathetic to her, as her parents seemed pretty dreadful! I was quite thrilled that she didn't get convicted. It certainly proved that E.M. was a really great actress!
This was one of those great movies from years ago, like The Haunting and The Changeling, back when directors didn't rely on teenage sex, gore, and CG to carry a film. Things have changed, and not for the better.
KstephiT The Changeling is a great film. They would never cast older actors in lead roles in horror today. It had no sex, nudity and no real violence, but it still remains one of my favorites. Glad someone else remembers it, too.
I like some CGI very VERY much if it's how Shrek, Despicable Me and so forth were made. And ESPECIALLY if that's how the new Dumbo was made.
It's like the gay rights petitions I'm often asked to sign: the small print includes support for polygamists, whom I would not support for any argument on earth, even re-population of a post-apocablabla world with only a handful of men left in it. I dislike it so much (thanks entirely to the FLDS cult) that I'll stop supporting gay marriage if that's what it takes to make sure I'm not also supporting polygamy.
So that's how it is with CGI. Teenage sex, gore, slashing, graphic serial killer-grade evil: I don't watch anything that has any of that in it, since long ago when I saw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and became an ex-horror movie fan for years afterward. Throwing CGI into every quick rundown of what we can't abide about movies these days is not apropos. It doesn't seem to fit. Where does it come from? The same place polygamy came from in support petitions for gay marriage. * big shrug * In either case, what's going to be arbitrarily thrown in next?
The Changeling is an underrated gem! Creepy as Hell. Another great (and nearly forgotten) creepy film is Don't Look Now [1973] with Donald Sutherland & Julie Christie and directed by Nicholas Roeg. It deals with loss and regret in a similar way. Those two films really stayed with me!
@@Carly8Corday I think the point isn't that CGI Movies aren't good but a Great Director or even a good one doesn't rely on CGI for a good film...
I saw this...along with Kill Baby Kill, The Dunwich Horror, Crowhaven Farm, The Shuttered Room...Black Sunday...but this one ...was the most traumatizing..oh..and "The Other"..creee..eepy.
I was not expecting anything as good as that. Production values, acting, editing, camera work and top direction from one Stephen Spielberg...genuinely creepy holds up very well almost fifty years on.
I was 7 when this came out. I remember i watched it when it aired. It left me with me with such a haunted feeling. Love it!!
I was 9!
I think you are very pretty...
@@joycebrackbill-henderly8311 Me too, but I had forgotten. It came back in momentary images: Johnny Whitaker (a great child actor) crying, the loft door, the hex signs, crying babe, that bedeviled jar! Still didn't recall final revelation, tho remembered closing scene. Memories are amazing things - hiding in my head all these years, just waiting.
i was in the 4th grade, 10 years old when i first saw this ... frightened me very, VERY badly back in the day.
Not one curse word. Real talent.
Agree
Darren McGavin will always be the Dad from A Christmas Story to me. Who doesn't love the scene when he gets the fish net stocking lamp, the crate is labeled FRAGILE but he pronounces it as if it were Italian... fra-gee-lay.
To me he'll always be Carl Kolchak.
@@paullittle9187 Definately Night Stalker
Sandy Dennis was very funny on that great movie with Jack Lemmon 'The Out Of Towners'. She kept on saying that funny line: 'oh my God'.
Used to love the creepy movies of the week, saw this when I was 7 years old and scared the heck out of me!!! Great quality true scary movies of the 70’s, so miss those days❤
Featuring the brilliant Sandy Dennis, one of the best of that era!
It takes a movie sometimes to realize how one 's grown mature to appreciate a movie that didn't have special effects that one expected during youth.I watched this movie in 1980.
Great actors, great plot and a great director 🏆
A triple threat and a winner every time!!
No way in the world would I have gone out to that barn in the middle of the night by myself. Not and leave my own child in the house with the front door open. No way!!!
Johnny Whitaker was soo cute in this.
The ghost baby was crying in the barn.
This was the scariest movie 🍿 wrecked my childhood
If this is the movie I think it is, it scared the crap out of me when I was 8 or 9 when it came out. It will probably seem cheesy as hell now, but it's movies like these that made me into a horror movie fan as I grew up.
me too!!! I love these old cheesy ones because I know I watched them as a kid!!! and now I watch all the new ones, that have nothing on these.
I hear you. Those were the days when truly scary movies were made. I just seems today 'Horror" and Thriller films are just torture porn, and graphic gratuitous Violence. Leaving little to the imagination.
This has been the only movie growing up that scared the crap out of me. I am so glad I was able to watch it again :) that baby crying gets me every time lol
+Cynthia Jokela the red eyes in the window in the commercial did it for me. My dad let me watch it, and as soon as I seen those, straight to bed, with nightmares.
I think I saw it on tv one Sunday afternoon in 1979 or 1980. I was about 6 or 7.
Y'all recognize Johnny Whitaker from Family Affair? Or am I the only one old enough to remember?
Ramona Barclay yes, I remember him. I'm old as dirt, too.😄
I recognized him.
Same
Ramona Barclay ha, ha when I saw the picture for this show, I thought the man in the red vest was Uncle Bill. I thought this was an episode of Family Affair.
rashard zanders the father was, I beleve Darren McGavin.
The professor was Russell Johnson.
I still remember this movie when I was a kid in school in the 1980's.
It had a great impact on me and made me aware of the invisible world, superstitions and the world of reality and how everyone perceived this world in a different way and how to tolerate various perceptions of people and how they would hide them or portray them.
Same here!
Really worth watching. 9/10👍👍👍 Thank you for posting this movie.
Thank you for putting this up. I saw this with a cousin and the housekeeper when I was 6 years old and had wondered what it would be like to watch it as an adult. I had no idea what the name was or that Steven Spielberg had directed it. I had tried to find it online several times but somehow missed it. I'm surprised I didn't remember Jody from Family Affair was in it. Anyway, thanks again for the trip down memory lane.
Spielberg was already thinking about doing " Poiltergeist". Nice to see Kolchack doing his thing.
Darren Mcgavin rocks!
I am greatly disappointed in almost all the new so-called horror movies that are coming out. It's a relief we have these older, (better made) ones to fall back on.
No need to pour ketchup all over the actors to induce terror.
yes like all those terrible horror movies like Get Out and Hereditary and A Quiet Place and the Babadook and 28 days later. It's not like these movies have lots of passion put into them to try and scare an entire new generation and its not like old horror movies get less scary as time goes on because the population evolves to live with things that terrify us. Because if you watched dr. Caligari or the old dracula movies you would be just as scared as if you were watching the day it came out. I mean come on. your generalizing an entire genre just because you're only watching slasher films which are supposed to be gory. If you don't Like slasher films it's fine it's even ok to say you hate horror movies but the only reason you like this movie over any other perfectly good horror movies is because you either grew up with these movies or you here that horror used to be way better. I bet in 30-40 years we will be hearing the same exact thing about movies that are coming out now.
this was before hair makeup and teeth fixed. I love it.
Nothing like seeing a pirate movie where the pirates have perfect teeth!
sylvia koziarski Or cowboys with gleaming white smiles.
And breast implants..
Before they could act also??
So funny 🦷👄💄💇😄
Wow, Sandy Dennis, what an interesting actress, she is perfect here, a general eerie mysteriousness about her.
Thank you for this one Mr. P. Very good. Love Sandy Denis, another actress gone before her time. She was so good and had the loveliest smile. Cheers.
I saw this movie on TV when I was a teen, I've been looking for it like crazy for years cause I wanted to watch it again but I couldn't find it anywhere, thanks for uploading it!
I did too and looked on line for it many times thinking maybe I remembered the name of it wrong. It's been probably 8 yrs since I tried searching for it and its finally been uploaded! I recalled the name after all! As a 10 yr old when seeing it 1st I wouldn't have been surprised if I remembered wrong.
I watched it in 1981 when I was about 6 or 7. It was one of those long Sunday afternoons when my parents were asleep/passed out.
I always remembered the movie but not the title, so I never could find it.
thanks for upload.good to see real people with no big tans and chiclet teeth.
I think CG has ruined movies along with to many teen actors, Absolutely No Imagination left to the viewer.
Thanks, I love these old movies!!
me too! there is almost no real image in television no more!
I really don't watch TV anymore, It's to crazy
Molly Thomas I see what you mean girl. You know what I think, I think technology is a problem in our generation, I only stay on the laptop or my phone because I'm bored. And too much tv is bad for our health unless it's animal channel lol.
yea, it's ruining our family, that's why i recommend old tv shows one is the waltons and others to where it teaches our kids how to care and have respect, compassion
"Jody" from the 1960s tv show "Family Affair"! 😁
@DancesInCombatBoots ! don't forget the uncle Bill ( Brian Keith).. I loved that show
Kolchak in something evil! It was good.😀
Kolchak the night stalker
Gotta love those made for TV movies of the 70’s & 80’s !!!! Imbued with a certain unique quality! 👀
I remember seeing this as a kid. I've been looking for it since then! Scariest movie ever!
I watched it on tv in 1980, so I was only about 6 or 7. I've been trying to find it for years.
JB ho ho ho. Back on those days our parents let us watch those kind of movies because they were free of sex, swearing or blood but they scared the s....t out of us ! 😂🤣
Getting ready to watch this movie for the first time ever.
Sounds pretty good from the comments.
Missed a lot of stuff from the '70's, since I spent half the decade overseas in the military.
And some of the stuff from that era is just too dated for me (I can't watch a Billy Jack film or Easy Rider without cringing).
But I agree that the old stuff was a lot better than the garbage that they've been putting out for the last 20 years.
Gore is not scary, it's just gory.
That barn scene is so scary, when she thinks she hears a baby crying in the barn and it's something else.
I watched this when I was a kid. Scared the hell out of me .Thank you for uploading it.
Yeeeh that brings me back! I remember watching this as a little girl and all I cared about was to get such an Amulet! I endlessly begged my Mom and she realy made me one! Still have it... Thank you so much for sharing!
I actually got goose bumps watching this movie.. Thanks for the upload.
Popular genre in the early 70's. Young family gets back to the land and encounters EVIL! See, the city wasn't so bad after all.
I haven't seen this in a long time and it is still as creepy as hell. Thanks for uploading this horror classic
Good getting to see old movies I haven't seen before
👍🏻🎥
Thanks heaps for sharing ⚘
❤love UA-cam and those who upload the best
🥂/🍻/☕cheers
Notice Margaret Avery as the singer for the commercial? She would later star in The Color Purple also directed by Spielberg. Always be nice to your co-workers. You never know who they might be to you someday. 1:00:00
thanks for the movie.unlike today these shows tell a story which tries to engage your imagination. a lot of these actors and actresses were under appreciated. they didn't have the tech that they have today to rely on.again I thank you
I remember seeing this late at night on telly in the mid-nineties on our risque Channel Four, after decades of terribly weak middle class British television, with nothing but good scriptwriting and acting doing the work. It bothered me quite a bit for some time because of the psychological impact of the crying. Anyone can pump out blood and gore, but a mind trick like that does more damage to the psyche in my experience. This was the decade of proper dark horror.
+GohModley + Adam Welton. Agreed. A lot of "horror" films [esp last 30 yrs.] leave little to the imagination, filling it [you] with graphic violence, or over the top graphic images, or spec effects, which again leave little to the imagination, and IMO are unimaginative. A film which cunningly BUILDS suspense, skilfully crafts tension, fear and shock - via the acting and directing, music etc, are far more interesting and frightening. That is where fear and horror reign supreme - in the experience of the mind, and for those who have it, -the imagination.
Dam right ,I'm sick of modern horror crap.its just nasty, and ppl wonder why we have young ppl doing such vile things to other ppl.
Could NOT agree more!
your Mum sounds awesome!! I would love to check out some of your posters!! I have the same name on my Facebook account if you'd like to message me. I would like to view some pics of them maybe if you wouldn't mind. Maybe we could strike up a deal.
I'm gonna cry 96 tears
I stayed up late with my mom and watched this movie on tv when I was a kid. It scared the hell out of me.
wow!...I watched this movie back in the '70s,it scared me as a kid...its funny to see it again after so many years,thanks for the upload!
One toke over the line
I wonder if you knew the director would become the most successful filmmaker of all time as you watched this back then.
jokerswildio He directed an episode in the pilot of Rod Serling's Night Gallery back in 1974 or '5. You could instantly spot his technique all over the place: camera angles, lighting, pacing, etc. His signature on anything he touches cinematically is distinct and immediate recognizable.
Yes,,,and it works like a charm. The fact that he wasn't thoroughly educated in directing and learned more from on the job training and relying on his imagination probably helped.
Great vintage fun. Hope you upload more movies like this.
I don’t remember this one but loved all the made for TV movies from the 70’s. This one has some greats attached to it. Jody from Family Affair did Tom Sawyer in 73.
it is no doubt one of the scariest movies of the 70's,the other being Satan's Triangle,,thanks for posting,good picture quality too.
NO MATTER WHAT HORROR MOVIE MADE CANNOT BEAT THE EXORCIST. ONE AND ONLY. CANT BE BEAT.
I DONT LIKE MOVIES IN THE DARK THAT HAS TO MUCH DARKNESS.I LIKE TO SEE WHATS GOING ON.
TO MUCH DARKNESS.
The neighbor's nephew was very creepy.
Yeah and I don't like that he blamed her for what happened to his Uncle. He knew creepy stuff was going on there before that family moved in.
I really love Darren McGavin. He was a very fine actor in his own right. Too bad movies like these are not made very often if at all today, instead of "shocking violence", Sick Psycho Horror and "Torture porn"
I totally agree. Darren Mcgavin was great. He had that voice you'd recognize right away and I'm a big fan of his Night Stalker movies/t.v show. Aka. Kolchak
alberto ciulini YES. Kolchak is the SHIT !! The failure of that show, SLAMED home for me, the fact that the taste of the "American" public and the effect resulting from it, should be treated like a most venomous spider infestation, that is hunting for You & Me. The prerequisite material which ALL modern "Pop" art is made from, the media and its specialised form of "Cock Suction". - especially the way in which something becomes "pop". Is by its own device, and nature, degrading, debasing, more so as time goes on, & as the media solidifies & refines its profiteering agenda. The Kolchak Night Stalker series needed some tuning up and some evolution, and then it WOULD have been what the X-Files became. The thing is..Kolchak was Real!! Yes Sir !! As sure as fresh SHIT sticks to a woollen blanket. Kolchak took out the WORST folkloric monsters EVER to escape the gates of hell, and Harass humanity. He DID it armed only with Osmium / Titanium "Balls" a "Corbomite" spine, a Steel set of "Guts", that pathetic excuse for...Fuck what is that thing he always carries? A purse? A Dick? No ...Wait...That embarrassing little kodak Instamatic...And his "Super" weapon of course is that wise crackin' Trap, mouth of his.. Fuck ME. But No Wonder nobody ever takes him serious. JESUS !! Look at that F@ckin' Hat ....WTF? IS that thing?? It gets worse. Kolchak is poor. No Gal. No Friends to Back him up....AND....He works at some jackoffial jerkwad News ? Service ?? LOL For that Bellowing, knuckle draggin' Italian Meatball VINCCENZO !!! Got sumthin' strange in YO neighbourhood? Who the F***K! You gonna call? Ghost Busters? FUCK NO !! Kolchak's Got All them night bumps right BITCH Slapped, and Shown' some GODDAMNED RESPECT !!!...Sorry I got carried away ...Again....shit....BUT Kolchak IS worth it Though.
Cyan Blackflower I agree also. From Kolchak to "A Christmas Story" Darren McGavin was as solid as they come. Can you imagine anyone else standing across the street from his house and admiring his "major award?"
Yes his award from " Italy ". Fraaagile. Classic
+Cyan Blackflower Kolchak was simply the best.
I was looking around the internet for this movie and I’m glad to finally find it here!
Gotta love Darrin McGavin....I think I've seen everything he's acted in! Awesome actor!
did you ever see Darren Mcgavin in a t.v. series from the late 50's called Mike Hammer--he was pretty good in that too
DARREN McGAVIN I always hoped would lead the SAINT PATRICKS DAY PARADE as I would guess with the RED HAIR and LAST NAME he would fit right in! I seen an interview with him that many people think of him as POLISH because he said himself I LOOK POLISH!! Probably why they gave him the name KOLCHACK!!!! (polish sounding name?) If interested check DARREN on the TV series CIMARRON STRIP episode:the LEGEND OF JUDD STARR as ALL EPISODES of CIMARRON STRIP are available crystal clear from beggining theme to ending credits!!!! (CIMARRON STRIP CBS TV2 NEW YORK SEPTEMBER 1967 TRU 1968:90 MINUTE WESTERN SERIES******)
@@johncasciello4123 "Darren McGavin's" real name...was Bill Richardson. William Lyle Richardson.
love these old movies
You shouldn't go walking through the spooky old woods along
So, Carl Kolchak gets married, retires from journalism, heads out to the country and then this happens. The guy can't get a break.
Wish we still had “movies of the week”
Sandy Dennis starred along side Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the Classic screen adaptation of A.B 's Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf. She is great in it. Its a brilliant film.
That movie terrifies me!
That 'Apple Bar' song freaks me out.
Those window eyeballs scared the hell out of me.
Ditto.
If Darren McGavin's in this, it can't be all bad.
Kolchak ! The Night Stalker !
Matt The Cat
Tina Durski - Yes. What can I do for you?
Just watched Darren in zero to sixty. 😊
11 years later he was Ralph Parkers dad..
I remember this TV film in 1972 when I was 12 years old! Never forgot the red eyes looking through the window at the film crew when they played the commercial back and the red balls breaking the windshield on the car that killed the man and woman either!!
Good Movie! I am a Spielberg Fan (top 3 directors), and never knew about this movie. I am a movie buff, true and true...this was a little (only a little) bit cheesie in a couple parts, but over all...A very GOOD movie! According to one comment below, and I agree...they DON"T make 'em like this anymore...although they should!! THANK YOU for posting this!! Although I'm SURE it was back then, in this day and time...it WAS pretty eerie!!! Spielberg had some good starting films...TV and BIG SCREEN!!
A good retro movie on UA-cam. :-) All is right in the world... :-D
Oh my goshhhh! A Sandy Dennis film! One of my favorite actresses! 😍
This is Great I've been binging on these old classics for 2 days now..can't believe how much I've missed seeing these...With all of the Bullshit that's out now you tend to forget how it all got started...Thank you for these Wonderful uploads❤
I'm another who saw this movie when it first aired on television. Steven Spielberg is the director and the voice-over singer who appears at around 59:00 is Margaret Avery who would later be nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Shug Avery in Steven Spielberg's film "The Color Purple".
I agree with many of the comments made here and would add that I like the fact that the makers of the film don't feel the need to "explain" every little detail. It's just an evil place dude, get out (and they did!).
Thanks for this. Great movie.
Darren Mcgavin a good actor, but a really nice person to meet. Met a lot of celebs but he's on another level.
Oh how I love these classic nostalgic horror movies I can look at them all day all night
I remember this movie from when I was a kid, it was so creepy!! I remember the red eyes 👀. So glad to find it again! Two more good ones are Crowhaven Farm with Hope Lange and When Michael Calls 📺🎬

I just loved 'sandy Dennis ' in the 70's...
I just realized that Paul is the dad from tge Christmas Story
The reason why I love UA-cam. Rare and free.
I had vague memories of this glad it’s actually a thing, was only 10 when it came out
Sandy Dennis has come a long way since "Splendor in the Grass" starring Natalie Wood.
