- This is the PERFECT REPRESENTATION of the Made-for-TV-Movies of the 1970s and 80s! This one stars Robert Stack and Vera Miles, as Michael and Christine Rhodes! These two actors were TV MOVIE FAVORITES!

Oh MAN this movie SCARED the HEBBENS outta me! The House that is the location for the Strange and Deadly Occurrence takes place, is a DEAD RINGER for my Godmother's place in Guerneville California and I HAPPENED TO BE STAYING WITH THEM when this movie came out!! There was a BUNCH of us watching it! OH MAN those were the GOOD OLD DAYS! I was almost 15!!!

Cast also included:
Margaret Willock, LQ Jones, Hugh Edelman, James McCallion, Ted Gehring, and Dena Dietrich, who btw, was NOT related to Marlene!

BUT she was FAMOUS for her line IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE, a 70s era commercial for CHIFFON MARGARINE lol! How do I know all these bits of TRIVIA! Well, I HAVE studied film since I was about 8 years old, and I am now 63---but I must admit, I also stayed up late and watched Johnny Carson after the Local News at 11 pm--and this is how I saw so much and heard so much!

Directed by:
John Llewellyn Moxey, who was a VERY prolific director of the times. He is an absolute favorite of Quentin Tarantino, who did a great podcast about how influential this Director was to him!

Cuz Mr. Moxey was GREAT at the Spooky Stuff!
His credits include The Night Stalker (1972), Circle of Fear (1972)

YES! He directed Home for the Holidays (1972), a SPOOKY thriller set on Christmas, with a GREAT CAST, including starring Sally Field, Julie Harris, Jessica Walter, Walter Brennan, Eleanor Parker, Jill Haworth, John Fink and Med Flory. a 6'5" tall drink of water that could do a mean HENRY FONDA impression lol!!

How do you come across these obscure movies Moxie
Hey Clancy it’s soooo cool that we can find soooo many good old movies, for free, on archive.org!
In your browser just put in the movie title, followed by archive.org and if they have it, it will pop up! Some are harder to find than others. I have my son clean up the sound or picture if needed, and if he can.
In the 70s and 80s there was ALWAYS a TV Movie of the Week, or a Tuesday Afternoon TV Movie scheduled lol. This stuff brings back INCREDIBLE memories. They aren’t gory for the most part and I do prefer spooky not bloody whenever possible 🫣!
BE CAREFUL with the one I just uploaded call Don’t Go To Sleep! It is REALLY very scary and yet realistic! I can’t watch that one unless my granddaughter or son or daughter happens to be spending the night! 😮😲😱
@@moxievintage1390 I was just looking at that site and I actually found Yank the army weekly which was a magazine that was made for the military during world war II I actually have an issue I got at a junk store in Houston years ago
Moxie in I think the late 60s there was a tv show at noon everyday, I thought was called Thriller. It had an episode where a movie actress wore a fountain of youth mask with a curse. Do you remember the name of the series. It scared me so bad I found it once and watched it as an adult and now I can’t find it again. You would love it if you haven’t already seen it.
