I’M ACTUALLY AMAZED BY THE PRISTINE HD COPY OF THIS MOVIE. THIS IS CRISPY CRYSTAL CLEAR THAN NETFLIX!!!
Crispy crystal clear. That some kind of cereal?🤣
thanks to kind uploaders , we can access gems movies from a time when weren't born , too young , or because the movies were never aired in our country
true that
Surprising quality for ( UA-cam ) a 1979 film. This copy/version is in very good condition. Thanks for uploading this virtually forgotten/rarely seen movie.
It used to come on TV all the time and was an ABC-TV Movie of the Week.
@@gterrymed The movies of the week were better than the theater released comic book CGI stuff repeated constantly on FX.
I have the Shriek Show DVD & it's not a great print. This looks immaculate.
watched it in 8th or 9th grade when it 1st came out. hi all you old people we had it great! cheers to us!
Yep, probably watched it on cable tv... Home Box Office 🤣
Мы тогда Америкой бредили
yep. late 70s and 80s were the best. 90s were pretty good too.
80s movies were the best.
NO! Fifties B&W Sci-Fi !! ☺
Nice to see a movie form the 70's that was filmed in the 70's it has more authenticity then todays movies set back then where they'd even bother to get the way people talked down right let alone the proper clothing and other stuff
Brings back memories.
I agree i don't get how they miss things THE HAIR!! especially the hair omg how
Black ladies without fale eyelashes.
Well of course because it’s the original
It was very Kolchack like indeed!!Good movie from a great era with simpler times!!Enjoyed it!!!
Колчак не погиб в Сибири?
Love that show!
All Columbo was missing was Vampires!
Here in Italy we didn't get the Kolchak series, just the two tv movies, and I'm filling the gap these days by watching all the episodes on YT: it was a great show, a perfect blend of fun and horror, it will remain a classic forever!
Very atmospheric thriller owes much to the Kolchak films, and is every bit as engrossing........Hard to believe it was made in 1979..........one would think much earlier in the 70's
Колчак не с России?
Thank you ThrillGore for uploading this fine film, I so appreciate it!
I really liked Casey Kasim, especially as the voice of Shaggy in the Scooby Doo cartoon and on America's top 40. His death actually shocked me and it saddened me very much. RIP in Casey😪
All these decades and I never knew he was the voice of shaggy! I need to turn in my Scooby Doo fan club badge.
@@sanguinelynx No, you can still keep it. We still need Scooby-Doo members & if you've been in that long you certainly should stay a member.
HE WAS ALSO THE VOICE OF CLIFF JUMPER* [ AND OTHERS ] , THE RED PALATE SWAP TO BUMBLEBEE IN THE TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE SERIES AND MOVIE.
I was an extra in the Dark and it was fun
That's cool but where was it filmed?
Where are you in it?
Omgosh, that's so cool! X
@@shadoweyes5808 the cutting room floor 🤔🤪
Cool
Casey Kasem of US top 40.... I tuned in every week!
Hey me too.
This is a good flick. I love the creepy whispering voices during the attacks.
This was a very good movie 🍿. I enjoyed the suspense of finding and identifying the killer/👽 creature. Thank you for the upload 💖
I always wondered if maybe the blind guy that showed up in so many scenes wasn't connected to the creature somehow? Or did being blind protect him? Perhaps the creature fed off of the fear of its victims? The blind guy always being in the dark wasn't afraid of the dark?
Think it was the monster blending in like they said in the start of the film. Watched it in 1980 and thought it was then was more terrifying then as was only 6 lol :-)
don't be afraid of the dark (1973) kim darby. made for tv.
& only those who walk forever in darkness will have nothing to fear from the dark.
A Solid theory...
My production company is in the mist of remaking this film "The Dark".
omg thank you for uploading this!!! i loved and was horrified of this movie growing up
Credit where it's due: the score by Roger Kellaway is superb. Really atmospheric. . .
"... the... dark... ness..."
That's the scariest monster in film history, 7 feet tall with that hair, grey skin and FACE! This guy would tear Jason apart like a wet brown bag
ha good one! :)
The Mangler is a zombie! 😂
If u look good watch when threw that guy threw the fence u see that monster back the guy that play that part is a basketball player
Just as long as you don't bring any matches!
And he can shoot x-ray from his eyes too. 😁
a horror movie with casey kasem? oh hell yes
and he was a cop.
I remember watching this as a kid....SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME !!!😱😨😵😲
I was so scared I lost my cherry 😊
This is a really good movie. I've watched it several times. never gets boring.
Why is this so much higher quality than the prime video version?
This movie is great. Yes, it's low budget. I was amazed that they got the main stars. Cathy, Devane, Jacekel, and Wynn. And Kasem as a doctor. To even be in this movie. As corny as it is.
I first saw this movie in LA (Redondo Beach). In 1978, 79 - they had 2 cable channels. At least, in the South Bay area there.
They only showed movies from like 6pm till 1pm. There were only 2 movies they'd show, that's it. And they'd play them for a couple weeks in a row. So we'd get stoned and watch this movie almost everyday. Always talking about, "Finding your butt with both hands", or "Mangler's a zombies". "UP Yours". "The perfect place"...
Was in my 20's then. Surfing, hanging on the beach. Remember seeing the movie "10" with Dudley Moore, Bo Derek - the same way. Drinking, "Double Dons" all the time.
Oh, to be young.
And I believe, the blind guy is the alien. But he, can do weird things. Like attacking "De Renzy", through the mirror. Shooting the weird rays from his eyes. Ripping heads off.
That's what I thought, made the movie. The unknown stuff. And Cathy is, YUMMY.
That was a girl who knew what she liked. In real life, that is.
But in all it's greatness. It's amazing how the writer thought...I'll end it by lighting the alien on fire. Like Frankenstein. And he'll just disappear. No questions answered. I'll leave it, to the viewer.
And when Cathy says,..."What do you want?
Really, you have to ask? Classic.
Thanks for the memories...
u have me by about 5 yrs i think, i so wanted to be a big kid back then and drink and drive lol but yeah u nailed it. we had it good. prolly best in human history u ask me. Blessings!
В раю тебе будет скучно
Thank you for putting this film up , I've subscribed
This was a classic drive in horror film with an impressive
cast of actors in it very good film.🇺🇲📽📺📺🎥🇺🇲
Saw this movie at the Drive In. It was great then. Still great today!❤❤
We saw this movie at our church service when we were kids.
Back when Movies were just plain good!! ❤
Одевались прилично тогда вы
The narrator from the beginning of Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2! He probably did it as a favor to Tobe Hooper seeings they have that movie connection under there belts!
I was 8yrs old when I saw this movie with my older brother and older cousins 😊
Loved this movie has a kid especially the creepy scene in the garage with keenan wynn thanks for the upload enjoyed getting to view this movie again
Just think, if that guy at the bar would have stayed and enjoyed that full beer he won arm wrestling, he wouldn’t have been dismantled on that sidewalk. Stick around fellas, being in a hurry could cost you your head.
I just wonder how much pain that guy endured while getting his head ripped off like that and whether he still felt anything afterwards.
The acting and cast was pretty good in this . Richard Jaekel, great as always,Kasem nails it,and Philip Micheal Thomas starts to hon his chops before landing the role of his life in Miami Vice.
I heard that Linda Hamilton's mom was in this movie
Philip was great in Stigma 1972.
I thought for a moment I was watching Night Stalker!
I only have one word for Cathy Lee Crosby... YUM!
I found her extremely sexy back then too!
You know dont you she does full nude scenes in her 1978 movie coach which she stars in with Michael Boehm Kyle Reece from the terminator movies.
The doctor sounds just like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo lol.
Thanks for uploading. That film had its moments!
Holy shit, was that bad. I love how Devane took care of it in the end. Ha ha ha.
Finally, someone who knows trash when they see it.
"Hell with Casey Kasem in a horror film, Phillip Micheal Thomas aka Rico Tubbs (Miami Vice) was in this crapper!"
Thanks for uploading haven't seen this since 1980
William Devane kept his sunglasses on till the end, day and night😎😂😁😂😂
Such a great movie, I had to watch it again! Thank you once again!
Best thing about this fillum is the Chevy Corvair Monza GT 🤩😍🤩😍🤩
Tubbs Miami Vice
Lol thanks i was tryna remember the name of that show he played in
Philip Michael Thomas. He was even in a film with Jack Albertson as a guy who works in the senior citizen’s home.
I never heard of this movie. It is quite good.
Yeah!
I never heard of it either until recently..
Was very good 👍!
Man I forgot how cool the gun sounds in movies from the 70s were like more hi pitched!!
dude good observation
So much better than today.
Really well worth watching. A bloody good film. Thank you for uploading this. PC. 03.11.2022
Thank you for uploading this movie, I've been trying to remember for about 15 years what this movie was called it's been bugging me all these years now I can relax 😂
Awesome movie I saw this movie with my buddy in the show house back In 1979 a double feature Alien was last! 2 great Syfy movies!
I saw this on HBO when I was 14. It scared me silly. But I love the sci-fi-horror film genre. I
This movie got better every time I watched it. Loved the soundtrack.😊
William Devane just loves loud clothes it seems . This is not the first time I have seen him in colourful attire .
Great show! 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy
U am 5 out of 10.
I was once a bad boy writer. ANyway, when they say don't be afraid of the dark, b very afraid! It hids a lotta scaaaaary things !!
Btfw, CLC is smooookin hottttt!!
I saw this film in Hong Kong when I was a kid. Great watching it in HD, thanks!
Классно ты пожил!
That's cool, didn't think HK theatres would show a horror like this? I'm assuming it was in English with Chinese subtitles?
@@2ndLastStarfighter Hong Kong was under British rule back then and yes they showed everything. English w/Chinese subtitles, yes!
@@RavaniscoolSurprising with the decapitations scenes, lol. Thanks for sharing!
@@2ndLastStarfighter Every horror film was uncut. The Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead, you name it.
I dont know if I saw this at the time or 20 years later but the only thing I remember is William Devain's hexagonal patterned robe! Pure 70's! I do not understand the premise or the monster shooting lasers out of his eyes but hey Cathy Lee Crosby in some high boots and cowl necked sweater hittin the town looking for a killer in 1979 LA!?!? I'm there!!! This movie is pure gold, or SOLID GOLD as was the fashion!!!!
Don’t forget William Devane is still wearing his shades and hairpiece from rolling thunder 2 years previous to his adventure in the dark 😗.
His characters in witness protection his whole career
William Devane in hip cop mode may be the funniest thing I've seen this week
Very good lighting and quality in this version of the film
While the credits from Film Ventures International's "THE DARK" list John "Bud" Cardos as the director, it was actually "SALEM'S LOT" director, Tobe Hooper who directed most of this movie, but he was replaced by John "Bud" Cardos, likely over creative differences! Look for future "MIAMI VICE" co-star, Phillip Micheal Thomas, who appears in a scene.
They don't make 'em like that anymore. Enjoyed it.
Casey Kasem was the radio host of the great American Top 40 weekly hit countdown of the 70s and 80s.
TY watching it right now!! Can't find a torrent for it! At least i am not watching a transfer from an old VHS LOL!
I never knew that Casey Kasem was in a movie , so Iam giving this movie a go , Iam sure it will be a good one . Thanks !
I remember his wife on certain episodes of Cheers, she played the GF of Nick Tortelli .
If you like this movie, then watch Without Warning (1980), and Nightbeast (1982).
Cathy Lee is stunning as usual she lights up any room.
I'd like to be with her in the dark 😊
J'ai regardé ce film,
Je l'ai apprécié,
Je vous remercie beaucoup.
Edward Montero was one of the producers of the devil possession movie Juliet Mills beyond the door 1974 which was a terrific double possession movie
29:16 subtitles: "(mumbles under his breath)" -- He didn't mumble under his breath, he said "strange".
William Devane is Jack Nicholson if he was a character actor instead of a leading man.
I remember watching this movie as a child, and I still watch again and again.
Я в детстве вам завидовал
Same. One of my favorite bad movies.
Great one!Reminecient of Kolchack for sure!!!
That's so awesome a comment!
I thought this should be a KolchalkThe night stalker episode also..
And in the end,Carl Kolchack would figure it out.
Burn him up with fire!👍👍
Колчака красные убили
good movie ty poster.Keep your feet on the ground but keep reaching for the stars
The "Incredible Hulk" from space - with lazer eyes? @1:24:17 "solid door" or "wall" - I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Not a bad movie, thanks for the show.
"hi, I'm William DeVane, i buy gold, columbian gold bud that is". Seeing William Devane play a hippie is too funny
I remember this from one edition of the Boston Sci Fi Marathon. Twenty four hours of Sci-fi movies.
Порнофильмы лучше
Great film. Looks amazing and a classic from the 70`s
Class film..my parents brought lots of movies home on VHS.. it inspired me..forever.
If they would had Darren McGavin as the lead detective, I would of thought I was watching a long episode of Kolchak, The Night Stalker. But it was still very good.😊
Lazer Poodle is my favorite.
Lazer Poodle is unstoppable.
Great movie....classical movie are the greatest....thanks
Great Tobe Hooper movie😮👍
Rich most definitely should've picked this one.
Great movie, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks.
What the hell kind of creatures that daft and as for Devine and that mullet wig looks ridiculous hilarious
For a being that shoots lasers from his eyes he's awfully inaccurate.
Not bad. Would have made a great Kolchak (Darren McGavin) movie!
scaaaary,good movie,thanks
Pretty Good Thanks 👍
Definitely an all-star cast...
Vern stierman who narrated the legend of boggy creek, narrated this at the beginning and end
That was actually Brad Crandall that narrated this not Vern Stierman; his ominous voice can also be heard doing Faces of Death trailer and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 opening.
Check out;
In Search of Noah's Ark (1976) for definitive proof
Good old school film, thanks 👍 from England, beer time 😁
Не пей без сигареты
To funny an alien in blue jeans 😂😂😂
I once lived on 24th Street in SF. There may have been a monastery, but I never saw it. Of course, 24th went up above where I was at 24th/Folsom.
Tubbs went from rousting the police to becoming one...
The one movie Dick Clark never got his money back on. The first victim of The Dark was Paris and Nicky Hilton's mother.
Odd movie..but wasn't bad
Alot of movies like this and ABC Movie of the Week were shown on Australian Television. Especially ones from Universal Studio's like "Gargoyles" and "Killdozer".
I saw this@ the theater i was 12 years old beyond awesome movie 🎥🎥🎥 its up there with Laser blast 1978
This is something I have been looking for, for a long time. Sweet!!! 😁 Can you also find The Incredible Melting Man? 🤔 I miss the old filmography and creepy music. No digital bs.
Awesome good horror movie they dot make movies like this an more true true classes. 👌😉👍
The dark is a masterpiece! A lot to be learned from it! Master of suspense! Now the curious case of Benjemin button is awesome will watch that too! Welcome to Nathanielwood! Hahaha
I say...he certainly was flamable, wasn't he?
