The Norliss Tapes is an excellent, excellent, excellent movie. One of Dan Curtis' best!
The norliss tapes is almost as scary as the film, Salem's lot. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This is one of my all time favorites... 👍👍
The story of this movie is terrible! This movie came out after the night stalker and night strangler. Two of my favorite movies!!!
Really!
The same Dan Curtis who produced DARK SHADOWS?😮
@@charlesjhemphilliii4792 Yes! The very same Dan Curtis who produced "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" with Jack Palance, and "Dracula," also with Jack Palance.
A good movie...solid story, acting, scares, Roy Thinnes & Angie Dickinson, Police Woman herself! Let the good times roll!
Yeah
Police Woman and architect David Vincent from "The Invaders".
Totally underrated movie. Loved it!
I may be rare, but I love this movie. I remember watching it with my mom. Dan Curtis has a way with horror, the macabre and telling a great story. I am surprised nobody has redone this yet.
This movie always reminded me of the "Night Stalker Series" The way it is narrated, and even has Claude Akins as the Sheriff, like in on few episodes in Series. Love the movies, guests, and cast! Keep them Coming!
I got the same impression. It definitily has shades of The Night Stalker. The music score, narration, and scene filming.....I kept expecting Carl Kolchak popping up to investigate.
It's because Dan Curtis produced both & Robert Covert did the music for both...
Yes, it does! Love the Night Stalker series!
"The Night Stalker" was written by Richard Matheson, based on a then-unpublished manuscript by Jeff Rice. Guess what Mr. Rice's original title was:
That's right! He called it "The Kolchak Tapes."
(Of course, following the success of the TV movie, the manuscript did get published...as "The Night Stalker.")
I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be an update of The Night-Stalker.
It's a Dan Curtis Production...
Enough Said. 💯
Thank you for running Dan's movies.
They are "A" films to me, especially during the era in which they were made.
Love his music scores as well.
Great movie! With Angie Dickinson in this movie it's already a winner❤! Claude Akins, fresh from saving a town from killer Tarantulas last week, has to deal with zombies! Akins is America's most underrated superhero! This 1973 made for t.v movie has a great mix of 70's fashion, cigs, booze, sideburns and supernatural horror. Don't miss it!!!! Also I have a question for Creature Features. Which Witch?
Lol..Claude was General Aldo
The Wine Country Witch (answered on behalf of Creature Features)!
70s was indeed a great time. I remember seeing this movie when it came out at the Golden gate theater in East Los Angeles! The building is now a cvs pharmacy!!!
*_THIS CHANNEL JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER & BETTER! GREAT PRODUCTION, GUYS! Thanks for all you do.👍_*
You've actually been screening some very good and classic features lately. Thanks.
And here we are, a year later than the above comment, and the Creature Features crew is holding true to the inclusion of some of the best of the "Roots of Horror." Last night (Friday, July 7, 2023) Creature Features screened Romero's "Day of the Dead," with only a couple brief intermissions and no interviews, all in HQ resolution and sound.
The ONLY downside to Friday Night Creature Features is the intro song screamed by a real Thrash Expert is not included, which is always a great heart pumper to prepare one for the onslaught of Horror. Aside from that faux pas, they earn a solid "A" for that effort.
Cool! A night of witches, Angie Dickinson, and rust-colored wall to wall carpeting. See you Saturday, CF!
I just saw that movie not long ago it is worth watching i am set with my reminder and am anxious to spend the evening with creature features you guys show movies that some other channels won't show, so I am in the house every Saturday night. See ya then this movie has a very good cast. Greetings from Pittsburgh pa.
I was pleasantly surprised by this flick. We really enjoyed it, great cast and great locations made it even better. Thanks crew!
Great movie. I haven't watched it since I was 10 or 11 years old. Funny thing is. I periodically thought about this movie but I could never remember the name. Until I just watched it on the best UA-cam channel out there. I love watching Creature Features with Vince, Livingston and Tangella.
❤The Norliss Tapes, loved your lovely guest Miranda the Wine Witch, and like Tangella loved what Vincent became in the end!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness
Watched live halfway through...then started again to watch more in depth....good choice. Weird and scary. Right when Angie's character started to say "...his eyes were..." something fell over in my house. Adrenaline! Happy...Halloween 🎃.
Thank you for sharing this amazing movie with a great Casts too 👍👍👍👍
An excellent movie. Saw this on tv as a kid. Thanks 🙂🙂🌹
I really liked this movie. It was well done and atmospheric. Thanks.
Awesome Movie!! Roy Thinnes was also great in the Invaders TV Series.
The invaders was a pre x-files. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This to me has a "Night Stalker," feel,,,I enjoyed this movie as much as Night Stalker. Great movie!
Nightstalker was much funnier and was almost a comedy
Ah ha! I found it. I had nothing more to go on but a faint memory of an Angie Dickenson horror about a husband. The interwebs are amazing. And here is it high def. Thank you Creature Features!!!
A great classic...really makes the afterlife look grim. And that will make for great entertainment. See you Saturday.
A little grim yes, but I can tell you it's not so bad once you get used to it.
Fantastic imagery in this film, the nature, landscapes, and architecture, all through diffusing filter.
Great movie 🍿. I wish they revive. The Norliss Tapes in a modern day. ....setting.
It's hard to duplicate a classic film. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
The music is creepy, perfect for it.
Not bad. Another example of how much film making has deteriorated over the years, that was a lot better than some of the dreck that gets made now!
This is one of my favorite TV movies of the 70s. I watched it when I was a kid and am watching it on this channel even though I have a downloaded copy somewhere in my hard drive. It's funny how Vincent is surprised that it's a good movie.
This movie has the feel of the TV series The Night Stalker that starred Darren McGavin. Even the music seems reminiscent. 👍🏻✌🏻
Indeed. It's like Bob Cobert said, "Dan, would you like new music at this price or recycled Dark Shadows/Kolchak music for a much lower price," and Dan invariably went for the latter option. It's so signature. As soon as I hear it in a movie from that decade, I head right to IMDB to see if Cobert handled the music, and it's always him. And while it might have been recycled music, it was always rather effective at setting the mood.
Great movie! This must be one of the inspirations for Kolchak: the night stalker. Many of the music clips are used in Kolchak.
Both were Dan Curtis productions.
@@aricheintzelma6877 kolchak actually wasn't a Dan Curtis film, but for some reason almost everyone assumed it was
@@godetonter4764 Dan Curtis was producer on both of the "Night Stalker" TV-films. He, and Darren McGavin didn't get along very well, which is why he wasn't associated with the "Kolchak" TV series.Easy to check this.
@@starmnsixty1209 sorry Mr No it All Wiki Wise Guy, you are wrong. Dan Curtis was neither involved first hand with either Nightstalker the movie, nor the Television show. He did however have a minor role in Night Strangler . People just assume that Dan Curtis was responsible for Nightstalker . Nightstalker was a comedy, a monster movie spoof, the Norliss Tapes was a drama, though it like many Sci fi horror movies was unintentionally hilarious. Especially by today's standards
@@starmnsixty1209 there are conflicting stories about Dan Curtis's involvement. I have read from reliable sources that he did produce Nightstalker, and also that he didn't. Do you know who portrayed the Carmel California shop girl that drove into the tree, and was discovered by a Truck Driver? Her Corpse was drained of blood, and the Law covered up her cause of death. The actress isn't credited when I looked up the cast of Norliss Tapes, everyone else but her ( Millie Parks) character was listed in the cast .
Claude Akins, the Sherriff, was also a policeman in The Night Stalker. He's good at these parts. Great Movie. Sort of Inspired by Kolchak.
Very much so!
I loved this movie as a kid and I really like it now.
Hello Vince!!! I'd like to thank you for taking the reigns of Creature Features!!! You are awesome, I appreciate you and every member of the Creature Features Family!!! I must add that the Art pieces that were sent in by Scott B. are just amazing!!! I mean, really. As far as horror art goes, does it get any better? I think not!!! :)
I’m a die hard oldie horror movie fan with hammer horror being a firm fave of mine naturally as I’m British. But this was such a great movie that I will definitely be giving similar American movies more of a chance in future. Thanks for introducing this one to me ~ best watch I’ve had in a stale while. Keep up the great work with the show; much appreciated indeed 👻💀
Excellent movie. You can see they were toning down the character of Noliss. Here he's more introspective and cautious. Unlike Kolchak that was loud and brash and always at full speed. Did the same with Claude Akins. His role as Sheriff here is not as abrasive. He's still a politician, but he is also a cop. I think he pulls it off. Mainly because we don't have the ancillary characters in this one like we had in Night Stalker. Lastly we don't have Norliss being run out of town. He intentionally disappears which leaves a bigger question mark than Kolchak who said he would never talk about it again. Although he did exactly that when he returned in The Night Strangler.
First time seeing this movie! Scary cheesy and a delight! My girlfriend screamed at the right moments!!! HA ha!
I'd recognize Roy Roy Thinnes. The invaders and the Journey to the farside of the sun.
He was also in a few Law & Orders
Far Side of the Sun was a 1980 and 1982 Manilla Road song
Journey to the Far Side of the Sun is a classic! Loved it.
@@godetonter4764 Gary Nicholson is referring to the motion picture "Doppelganger," which was produced by Gerry Anderson in 1969. It was released internationally under the variant title "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun."
Thanks for all you do.
This is an amazing movie and actually pretty scary!
Love the part with the Colt Python. Finally someone remembered to 'grab the gun'.
The MUSIC lets you know....It's a Dan Curtis production!😨
The tv-movie trilogy of terror starring Karen Black was a Dan Curtis production. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I haven't seen this since I was a kid!
Two thumbs 👍🏾 up
I love these type of movies. I didn't get anything if they were have made more of this this one. It would have been a perfect series
I saw this movie when i was a teenage. On TV. Never saw it again. Never knew the name. Asked Many times on imdb forums with no luck. Only remembered the ring, a coffin and the sort of zombie ripping a cars bumper (it was a door actually). Thought it was a Hammer production maybe with Christopher lee. I now may rest in peace. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Loved it.
this was good. I remember this when I was 6 or 7 years old, the ending with the demon coming to life stuck with me. Another good one was "the Stanger Within" 1974, with Barbara Eden
One of the best like nightstalker
Great show. Great movie I saw part of it eons ago at a friend's house really liked it then and now. The Wine Whitch was great as well especially when she showed how to cast a spell and the tarot card reading. I have a couple of books on wizardry and a book on spells I'm. very scientific but I find this Magic a little fascinating. Tell her I said thank you.
Great movie that will give you chills !
Great movie 🍿🎥 and was excellent watching with all of you in live chat ☺️
Thanks yall !! ❤
Very good movie in the spirit of the NIGHT STALKER series.
This movie is pretty good. What a cast, Wow! This reminds me of The Night Stalker but with money!
I was 9 the first time I saw this. Scared the bejesus out of me. Watched it again a few years ago, hokey and dated for sure but still an all time favorite of mine
I believe the restaurant scene @ 37:45 was filmed @ the "Top of the Mark" on Knob Hill. It is still there.
Dan Curtis' television fright films of the early 1970s all had the unique Dan Curtis' flavor and touch to it, including the spooky, foreboding background music. The same could be said for the one-season only television fright show, Kolchak the Night Stalker. Whenever you watched a Dan Curtis tv fright movie, even without knowing it was a Dan Curtis movie, you right away recognized it as such.
When at 11:00 you watch David's publisher at the San Francisco sky top restaurant asking for a telephone, the waiter picks up a phone conveniently located nearby next to an indoor plant. More, if you watch carefully, you see that the telephone has no cord.
The scene moves to David' hill top home overlooking a bay. It's not clear exactly where his house is located. It's probably somewhere very near to San Francisco. As the camera zooms in to David's bed where he lays insensate, probably from drinking, you'll notice on the floor a black pantyhose. I doubt David was wearing it. It must have been a subtle sign from the director that David entertained lady guests. But why the subterfuge is anyone's guess. The movie never went on to depict any romantic love interest for David.
Really liked this one and love the cast. ❤
Tarot was actually the bases for the regular card deck, cups/hearts, staves/wands/clubs, swords/spades, and cups/hearts the regular card pack removed the all of the major arcana except the fool/joker and the page card from all of the suits leaving the Knight/Jack, Queen and King cards.
wow picture is super clear ty
Need to find The Eyes of Charles Sands, That was a good one in line with these.
This aired in Feb 1973 as a pilot for NBC. They were attempting to spawn a TV series like the two Kolchak movies Jan 1972 Night Stalker & Jan 1973 Night Strangler did for ABC. (Kolchak: The Night Stalker 1974-75) ~ However, NBC didn't pick up this series I guess they were going to call "The Norliss Tapes."
The vampire reminds me of Jonathon Frid the actor who played Barnabus on Dark Shadows another Dan Curtis production.
Great 👍
I know how this lady feels. My ex is an opioid addict and methhead. Which is pretty much the same as the walking dead.
This movie popped up on my feed but it was another presenter…switched right over to ya’ll when I saw you showing it as well. You make all these questionable films better.
Got a healthy Lovecraft vibe. Slow-burner, but good 👍
Vincent is so cute as a puppy🥰
Have her back again, but Vincent needs to not interrupt, or was he just excited?
Finally, a good print of this movie, they usually look like crap. Loved this movie it was a pilot for a series. It was shown a year before Kolchak the Night Stalker, but not picked up, a shame as much as I liked Kolchak this would have been a superior show.
The Night Stalker - Kolchak is a big hit! Let's make a movie like it! Still very enjoyable, and CF is my safe and fun place to "go" on Saturday nights.
5 minutes in and I'm hooked......
MMmm you mention the film Restoration. It was partially filmed in my home town here in Caerphilly, Wales. They used the Norman Castle here for a lot of scenes. Caerphilly has the 2nd largest Norman castle of it's type in Europe.
I find svengoolie to be on the goofy side but he shows a lot of very good films like Frankenstein,the invisible man and the creature from the black lagoon.But you guy's show a lot of movies I've never seen and your entertaining.
Good flick. Claude Akins' role here is very similar to the part he played a year before in The Night Stalker, law man in denial of any possibility of supernatural goings-on.
It all began on a lonely road 😔. DOH. 😆..saw this years ago, hadn't known it was a pilot shame it didn't get picked up..UK
See you Saturday night 🌙 everyone 😃

I saw this movie years ago as a kid with my Older Brother, younger Sister and our Father.
Very cool and interesting movie.
Scared the "bejesus" out of us and my Dad.
Very interesting, entertaining and atmospheric.
******* I WISH THAT THEY WOULD HAVE MADE A SERIES OF "NORLISS" MOVIES, OR A TELEVISION SERIES...! *******
Given the film's use of the "Columbo" style typeface for the credits I'm just going to go ahead and believe this film is set in that universe.
😂🤣”stay away from the studio “…”hey let’s go to the studio”😂🤣
Dan Curtis put together great television.
Never seen this before looking forward for this premiere soon!
My God I love you guys!!
THIS IS A VERY GOOD MOVIE. WITH GREAT ACTORS, LIKE MR. THINNES. AS A LATE TEEN I ABSOLUTELY THOUGHT THAT MR. ROY THINNES WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL LOOKING MAN. JUST SEXY. MR. CURTIS WAS A GREAT PRODUCER, WRITER, DIRECTOR OF TV MOVIES.
Dan Curtis went on to do a show called The Kolchack Tapes.
Roy Thinnes from "The Invaders" a series I watched it when it was in production.
It reminds me of the Night Stalker, Grade A
super creepy fragilistic extra hellish dopeness
A great TVM. Pity the "series" was never picked up by the networks.
just for a change, us guys should get the sedative. get a nice nap while the lady(s) solve the mystery I say. Good movie. Thank you for the download.
The publisher's office, the publisher's lunch restaurant, and the Evening Restaurant are all shot in the same corner in the same building with the same view. How bout that? 🤔
Hopefully Vincent will return to human form soon.
As in before Tangella decides to have him 'fixed.'
I would like to get my pulm read now that I'm 38. I know that what was read 12 years ago was ooh so wrong😢
. 💀🍷 *CREATURE FEATURES ROCKS !!!* 🍷💀
.
. . *LOVE MR. LIVINGSTON, TANGELLA, AND VINCENT !!!*
I thought it was going to be "The Braless Tapes" another Scandinavian movie .....Oh well, this one will do, and it has Roy Thinnes - from an old favorite of mine "The Invaders"
I remember this movie. I saw it when I was eight years, with muy dad. Really scare me! Me encanta su canal chicos!!!! Love Tangella❤. Los felicito. See you.
I bet Tangela is unrecognizable in real life. I often wonder what she actually looks like without the costume.
I can't wait to sink my teeth into this movie.
The movie wasn't too bad. I had to fast forward the part where the pretend witch rambles on to Vincent about her wikka furniture. I should be invited to chat with Vincent about my vintage wikka sofa.
Throughout the movie when anyone described Cort , they didn't describe that He's freaking blue
The actor who played James Cort, was Nick Dimitri. Who was in many episodes of the Rockford Files. He was always casted as a thug.
Wish the opening music wasn’t metal - would be ( edited ) cool , with real retro music, not wrestling music . /
I do love this show . I sometimes find the interaction in the interludes better than the movie . You’ve really got it down, folks . I like the ( local ) guest interviews too.
I grew up with Ghoulardi in Ohio .
Great times.
Thanks for all the great shows -
“Creatures of the Night, Oh what music they make “ ….
Is that a reference to 2 Cradle of Filth songs A Dream of Wolves in the Snow, and Queen of Winter Throned ? The line creatures of the Night what music they make

Great movie....
