- Although the actors and character names aren't the same, Sweet, Sweet Rachel was the pilot film for the TV series Sixth Sense. Alex Dreier plays a paranormal researcher whose patient (Stefanie Powers), suffers from disturbing ESP flashes. The source of these ghoulish images is a psychic murderer, who uses mind control to kill his female victims. When Sweet, Sweet Rachel became The Sixth Sense, Alex Dreier was replaced by a younger, handsomer Gary Collins. The TV movie aired as part of the ABC Movie of the Week on October 2, 1971.
These old 70's "Horror " movies are my favorites !!!
so often these movie of the week stories were far superior than what was out at the box office.
Agreed-I remember👍
You just ruined it for me. I didn't know it was a made for tv movie...bummer...
I miss these times of the 70's very much.
the 1970-79 were very good years that i injoyed i was young (graduated h.s. in 1974) the music,television,Family,coming of age in 1972 ahh really missed & nothing but a memory now. DM (Pgh,PA.)
+DEAN MARTELL In 74, I was a snot nosed little bastard living in paradise, with good parents. And didn't even know it.
Oh, how I longed to grow up ... little did I know that the world would turn to pure shit, & the weather would become fucked: little did I know that this was in the future ... waiting on me.
Now All I long for is to go back. In a way, I think that I may deserve this fucked up world in 2018, for the way I misbehaved when I was a brat ... long ago & far away.
Sorry you were so disappointed,yea i too couldn't wait to "Get Grown" nnow as i look back (both parents now deceased) i long for the innocent days of my childhood where my only worry then was getting a good report card. DM
Tony Tafoya go back and play some pinball and go roller skating, shit yeh I remember.
Miss the Seventies
I was 10 yrs old when I saw this. It scared the crap out of me...kept hearing EYE, KNIFE, RAVEN, DOLL, COFFIN over and over. Now at 52 yrs old I know I won't have nightmares for months after watching it again. So many of the comments listed here ring true for me as well. Thanks for posting.
ABC Tuesday and Wednesday Night Movies was short sweet and so many good movies!🥰
This show and night gallery were pretty cool. I remember staying up late freaking out over these shows. Good stuff. Boy how TV shows have changed.
Nothing today compares 😪
Yes, Not for the better either !
Composers sure knew how to do scary/creepy music scores in the 60's and 70's
Tapeduc ?????? Are you still alive ?? In Jesus Name
i love watching classic made-for-tv movies.
Me too
Me three
Thank you so much for the back story! I remember this movie well, and loved The Sixth Sense. This was back when some serious thought was put into TV programming, not the cheap bottom-feeding ‘reality shows’ of today that require very little thought, effort or cost on the part of the networks.
Well... These kind of shows, I agree with but; every decade has its own "not great" programming.
Actually this era had shows that qualified as cheap and tacky too. Every era that had tv does, you must be horrible at picking shows to watch lol nowadays there are literally millions and millions at your disposal a year so if you miss a good one or two it’s on you
But I agree that the shows were better but it’s opinion based not fact based and I’m just not as big a fan of cgi and extreme gore as others. It’s easy to avoid but there are good shows out there that are recent you just have to know what you’re looking for.
thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to watch these old Sixth Sense shows again! I loved these as a little girl.
I just caught one of those condensed episodes of "The Sixth Sense on "Night Gallery" recently and it has renewed my interest in this creepy series from the 70's...
Thanks so much for these uploads,love the 1970s movies from my childhood!
marie elena il faudrait une version cinématographique
Outstanding movie thank you !
Thank you. I grew up watching this as a kid and loved it then and love it now.
One of many gothic thrillers which were made for TV in the early seventies, perhaps hoping to cash in on the success of "Dark Shadows" and "Night Gallery". Other such television films were " The Eyes of Charles Sands" , "She Waits" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". They were well made and, for TV at the time, quite frightening.
The series that came from this, The Sixth Sense, was done first as its own series, then later added on to Night Gallery. I am guessing they figured they could sell it to advertisers better if they put in in with a well-known horror series.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
This thing scared me silly when I was a kid. Decades later I could still hear that lady's voice on the phone... "Eye... Knife... Raven..." Luckily someone on IMDB knew the movie's name by the description of that scene so I could find it online after all these years. Thanks for posting!
Thank-You so much for this! I wish we could made for TV movies of the 1970s remastered on dvd. I'd buy it.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie . I can and have watched many many times !!! I don’t care what the so-called best movie is. This is the bestest
Thanks for the upload !!
I was 10 when I first saw this movie. I didn't understand what was going on but I've remembered bits of SSR for all these years. I remember my father saying that this movie was to be really scary. For 1971 I suppose it was. Not scary now but an intriguing, well-done story. Interesting use of the doctor and Gary being on screen simultaneously because of a reflection in the window. Interesting too that the Pipers all wore the same kind of glasses. Thank you for letting me take a trip back to a childhood memory!
Wow, i didn't know this was the pilot for the Sixth Sense TV series. Thx for uploading!!
I love the casting of this movie! Stephanie Powers was at her most beautiful and charming, and Louise Latham has always been the scariest person ever, even when she was doing comedy. I'm less than halfway into the show and I love everything about it, especially using unusual paranormal means to murder. It is good, despite its age, and as someone else said, superior to box office offerings.
For some reason, Latham in this movie reminds me a bit of Emo Phillips in terms of her facial expressions and the way she talks.
I was scared of watching the Brady Bunch show. I loved watching Mannix.
Thanks for posting this rare gem. Enjoyed it.
I first warched it when I was a child and it was a scary movie for me, but I liked it anyway. It is so good to watch it after all these years, or better say decades.
Terrific TV movie and pilot. Great visuals, such as the "ghost" of Louise Latham, the creepy ESP cards (eye, knife, raven, doll, coffin), and that terrific statue that comes to life at 46:48. Alex Drier was a excellent actor with a very good voice and lots of experience in broadcasting, who would have been great in the series.... maybe if "Cannon" had been a hit a season sooner, the network wouldn't have balked at having an overweight actor star in "The Sixth Sense". As it was, Drier did star again in another TVM pilot called "Murdock's Gang" -- but none of the networks picked up.
The casting of Gary Collins did open the show up for more romance, of course. BTW, Stephanie Powers and Rod McCary (Paul) re-teamed during the regular series in the "If I Should Die Before I Wake" episode with Jane Wyman (broadcast Dec, 1972). The house used in the filming is the famous mansion "Villa Leon" in Pacific Palisades -- google it for more views!
BTW, that's Rod McCary as Rachel's husband (and statue come-to-life!). He and Stephanie Powers would be reunited again in 1973 for "The Sixth Sense" episode "If I Should Die Before I Wake" which co-starred Jane Wyman.
Villa de Leon
Please ...
Alex DREIER.
For many years, Alex Dreier was the best-known news anchorman in Chicago, first at NBC, later at ABC.
He left that position to move to California, where he eventually decided to try his hand at acting.
It's funny how scared people are of the sixth sense tv show. I loved it growing up.
Love this movie, thanks for sharing
Pat Hingle was such a good actor. Thanks for sharing : Sweet, Sweet Rachel.
I havent seen this movie or the show in years thank you for posting it..
Loved thatcone spooky. I love the old TV movies. I never saw this one. I was about 5 when it came out. Thanks so much.
These beat movies today!
Thank you for posting this!
I wish this TV show was available on DVD🙁
Good movie. Thank you for sharing :)
Good series garry collins was a good actor too rip gary
ah, the 70s. thanks uploader!
The thing about Rachel is she's so, so sweet. Love that she wears a sweet, sweet fur coat.
She is really sweet...Almost as sweet as that delicious bowl of potato broth. And the sedatives!
I notice the color scheme throughout this movie is almost all earth tones. the daughter's fleetingly-glimpsed purple beanie is a noticeable exception.
I always remember Steve Ihnat from that wonderful 2-part episode of The Outer Limits: The Inheritors
Before the deplorable Disney administration took over in the mid 90s,the ABC network was
still an impressive area of great programing,,and no where can that fact be made any clearer,
by ABC's popular "Movie of the Week" series,which was launched in Fall 1969. in this pilot
to the Universal Television series "THE SIXTH SENSE",it is very clear,that these TV movies
were extremely successful in getting good TV shows on the air. and while "SWEET,SWEET
RACHEL" didn't look like much,the TV series was!
I was looking for this for years - I caught it years after it came out on a Saturday afternoon movie thing and it was literally the first "horror" I ever saw (at least it was horror to me as a 7 year old.)
l had to be ultra careful when choosing programming while babysitting. l was fine as long as the little ones were up, but once they were tucked into bed and the house got quiet (aside from the occasional random creak or groan) these kinds of shows scared the ¥%÷!@# out of me. Ah the 70s!😰
😂😂😂😂💯
But have you checked the children?
Anybody notice "Higgins" (John Hillerman) of "Magnum, P.I" as the Medical Examiner here?
Yes.
I can't decide if "Eye, knife, Magnum's mustache, raven, doll, coffin" is less creepy, or more so.
I’ve looked for those cards . There is no Zener ESP Cards LUke this . I don’t know what kind of cards he was using .
Is anyone else here with a desire to just watch a show and be entertained WITHOUT the indoctrination tactics being forced on us? I am so grateful for this being posted if not for this I'd have nothing to watch as it's no longer "change the channel" it's you must "turn off the TV". There's no good programming left. I'm sorry for even bringing it up, I'm just sick of it.
wow...I guess not, i'm the only commenter on here for about 2 years. I didn't realize that.
Only watching this because all I ever wanted to be was the Girl from Uncle --- hope it doesn't disappoint me - will keep you posted
Well did it disappoint you? You can always be the Girl from UNCLE
always good stuff back in the day, now all junk perfect rainy day movie
Boy, that sculpted head was creepy.
Such a groovy boat party!
omg been looking for this for so long had no idea what it was
Wow. Stephanie Powers is beautiful in this. She was in the Sixth Sense. At least one episode. Maybe more, not sure. I thought she was in a Night Gallery story but I can't find it.
Its a shame they don't have the series. I remember watching the series on Saturday nights as a young child. I thought it was cool as child.
A terrific post, and a tough find! Thanks for letting me know.
Alex Dreier would have made it a very different show, and I think he would have been just fine in his own way. But in the early 70s the chances of an older, ahem, larger man being the star of a weekly drama were pretty low (Cannon being the notable exception).
I like the way they use upward facing camera angles, e.g. at 1:05:34. It seems like such an easy but effective way to make things spookier.
I didn't read through all of the comments so this info may have already been posted. Gary Collins character and this story line, the paranormal researcher/psychic, featured in at least two Night Gallery episodes.
This movie flipped me out when i was a kid.

that and the man running through the glass window,,,how could you ever forget that visual?
show used to scare me but I loved it
Stephanie Powers!!!
Powers was a looker, that Barbara Hershey type, Raquel Welch, back in the days when women were usually very good looking that were cast. I saw her in the Bigfoot vs Bionic Man Steve Austin and she was especially pretty.
There's nothing like a spiral or long curving staircase to instill fear and suspense.
What the hell is 'potato broth'? Been to MANY funerals in my 58 years but I can say I've never been to a graveside service where the coffin was OPEN for viewing...odd indeed.
+QuantumRift I love sweet, sweet potato broth. Now, I want you to take a tranquilizer and get into bed.
@@aaron2709 THen you are a potato broth-loving moron. You've never gotten out of bed.
Has anyone noticed that the guy who played Stephanie Powers' husband was her husband in the series THE SIXTH SENSE.
Gold classic movies.👌🤗
Love er looks(Stephanie Powers)!
Terrific television movie, better than much of the cinema fare these days. Unfortunately, much of the series that followed was not quite as well written. Some episodes were outstanding, but others fell flat.
In hindsight, perhaps it would have been better if Dr. Rhodes had been presented as more of a skeptical investigator---not closed to the idea of ESP but not being credulous either. Then again, this was 1972 and everyone was buying into that stuff.
Aquí en Argentina en la televisión, se la conoció como El Espíritu de Raquel.
Now I am going to call random numbers, saying Eye, Knife, Raven, Doll, Coffin.
Creepy😯
Hate to say it, but I'm glad the lead character was replaced with Gary Collins. It's hard to imagine Alex Dreier chasing after bad guys when he could barely waddle through the show. I know....., I'm bad. Enjoyed the series though. Would like to see the show brought back with the original cast if possible. Maybe another MOVIE OF THE WEEK.
scared me when i was 12
The actress that played Mrs Piper was also in a Sixth Sense story. She played a psychic reader that was the mother of a psycho guy that killed Mariette Hartley's character. She played the murder victim and her sister.
+singersongster I'd recognize her anywhere. I grew up watching TV in the 60's and 70's....Louise Latham was born on September 23, 1922. According to IMDB, she has 109 acting credits, and was a staple on TV shows from 1961 to 2000 (her last acting credit). Almost 94 yrs old now. Name a TV show and she probably appeared on it at least once: Alfred Hitchcock, Perry Mason, Ben Casey, The Invaders, The Fugitive, Family Affair, Judd for the Defense, The FBI, Bonanza, Ironside, Longstreet, Cannon, Hawaii Five-O, The Streets of San Francisco, Heck Ramsey, Kojak, Columbo, Rhoda, Medical Center, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Waltons, Quincy, M.E., Eight is Enough, Family, Highway to Heaven, Hotel, Hunter, Murde,r She Wrote, ER, & The X-Files, to name a few (along with TV movie and theatrical film roles, she was stage actress prior to Hitchcock's "Marnie" role....she had a lot of parts, and one of the most recognizable actors from that TV era.
I was so scared at 12 when this came on
Why are 54 videos hidden? Don’t have to join something to watch the rest of the episodes?
captivating... 🕸️
Hello. Where can I find all the episodes to download? Thank you
I don't know about downloading, but the uploader of this movie has I think about 21 out of the 25 episodes of The Sixth Sense on their channel (SixthSense1972) that you can watch.
Around the 23 min mark the mother puts her glasses on in one cut and very next her glasses are gone. It's a wonder the blind man's glasses remain in place! haha
j'aime cette série, mais je voudrais qu'elle soit en Français.... c'est facile de traduire une série en Français.... Pourquoi ne l'est-elle pas ????? merci
Floor boards were rocking!Rod Serling smoked while I was pacing up and down the living room mansion ...had five T.Vs and only thing that saved me was Barbeau in The Fog.
heard that voice for years...same thing eye, knife etc. If you remember ESP movies and books were big at that time
Is this the uncut version?
My mother named me Rachael after watching this film. She changed the spelling..
i was the same boat and same age...scared the sht out of me too..lol
What was the name of the episode (something to do with the wipperwill, a little boy ghost)?
Isn't that funny? The odd thing is...watching it now as an adult, it really isn't scary. But those words they kept on repeating....well they're still creepy as hell!
where can i buy the sith sense tv series on dvd
The acting in this is phenomenal….. makes acting of this era seem rather lame and totally over acted … missing the good ole days 😮
Who on earth thought it was a good idea to give Alex Dreier the lead role? Then to cast Pat Hingle who looks so much like him in another part. Really flawed casting. Enigmatic, charismatic young actor Chris Robinson (blind Carey) should have had the lead (and starred in the series).
Very
Scary
Where can I get or watch this series and night gallery?
yes-Gary Collins was nicer to look at
Louise always scared me
The guy at the beginning reminds me a little of a young John Cleese from the Python gang.
Hi !! Is possible subtitle in spanish? Thanks!!!
La tienen en español me encanta esta serie no hay otra igual
is that San Simeon?
Where's Gary?
Close your eyes, and 'Lucas' sounds strikingly similar to William Conrad!! Minimal acting in this"Precursor", Sixth Sense MUCH better!
Interesting murder mystery.
