Sketchin’ 54

So the other day I’m wasting some time online and find the novel Are You In The House Alone?: A TV Movie Compendium 1964-1999 by Amanda Reyes and, to make a long story short, I picked that sucker up quick.

The book deals with TV movies of this period of time, including some favorites like Steven Spielberg’s Duel, the wild William Shatner/Andy Griffith Pray For The Wildcats and assorted other films I recall seeing way back when on TV and, frankly, recall very fondly.

The subject of this piece is self explanatory, the excellent Dan Curtis (Night Stalker) directed, Karen Black starring (and, in the case of the picture, Richard Matheson written) Trilogy of Terror.  A great trilogy of tales of terror/horror with the standout being the final tale, presented here.
