Actors – Gargoyles (1972) ReturningĬornel Wilde was Dr. A young Scott Glenn is the leader of the bike riders, and the damsel in distress is always wearing a halter top. There is a drunken motel owner, and she is desperate to have sex. There is even a part where a gargoyle leaps in the air, kicking men off the motorcycles and horses. I mean the hunt gargoyles with horses, motorbikes, and dogs. It is my personal opinion that this movie is excellent. Norton stages the preposterous events with considerable skill (though he shows the gargoyles too often and in too much detail the suits don’t stand up to prolongued (sic) close examination), and the Carlsbad Caverns climax is a keeper.” “This made for TV movie, which debuted in ABC’s “Movie of the Week” slot, remains a cult item by virtue of strong performances and special effects by Stan Winston… and NBC’s The Bold Ones: The New Doctors/NBC Reports. Originally broadcast as part of The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies, Gargoyles had to contend with the ABC Movie of the Week/Marcus Welby M.D. This brings us to CBS’ Gargoyles (1972), a TV movie that aimed to rectify that situation and give these mostly forgotten creatures a chance to shine through the filter of a demented Saturday morning vibe.

Not to mention that some of these movies were the starting ground for great writers, directors, and make up artists. In this episode, horror film journalist Scott Drebit from Daily Dead ( ) and I talk about some classic TV horror movies that you can hunt down and watch on the internet. Some of those network TV-produced movies generated some genuine scares, and sent kids to bed to have nightmares. They were fast, cheap and, occasionally, great! Many of these telefilms were horror movies.
Back in the early 1970's, Network TV executives started to make original movies to compete against Hollywood.
