I love this flick. I watched it again last week. Does anyone have any other suggestions for creepy 70's flicks I should check out? Thanks.

I don't know if this movie is available or not (I've never researched it) but I remember one from the 70's (made for TV) called "The Sreaming Woman" starring Olivia DeHavilland. She plays a rich woman on a large estate who was just released from the Asylum and whilst riding through her property hears a woman moaning and finds this person buried alive but no one believes her (they think she's crazy). That's all I can say about it since I don't want to give anything away. I saw this movie as a young teenager and have never forgotten it. Also, does anyone remember another made for TV movie on ABC about a plane crash where all of the survivors are blind and they follow railroad tracks to civilization?

I remember that one; with Dina Merrill, etc. it was called Seven in Darkness. I think it was one of the first "ABC movies of the week". I watched them every week as a kid, some really scared me!!

I remember the Screaming Woman, too...

BAD RONALD was another creepy 70s Tv movie. You might be able to score a copy off eBay.

"Something Evil"--an early Spielberg effort involving a family moving into a creepy hexed farmhouse.

Try Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black.

Oh and... Burnt Offerings.

Also if you didn't know, this is called the show..

Crowhaven Farm is very scary. It's about witches.

Other creepy flicks I've seen:

Dark Knight of the Scarecrow, Made For TV.
I was scared silly as a kid.

Trilogy of Terror, Made For TV, the last segment about the Doll.
I've had many a nightmare after watching it as a kid.

The original Halloween.

Blair Witch Project
I think this was the last time I was truly scared watching a movie.
What made it scary for me was that you didn't see the villians and you had to use your imagination.

Race With the Devil, with Peter Fonda and Lara Parker (from Dark Shadows).

That's all I could think of for now.

Hi,

Im looking for a movie similar to this one.
It also has creatures living in the fireplace. I remember a boy that has some kind of robots fighting the creatures. And when one of the creatures die you see a demon face. That all I remember. Can someone help me out?

I've seen it, but I can't remember the title :(. Sorry.
