Cinema Of Stuff Presents....More '70s TV Horrors




Here's a host of spooky stories from more '70s TV shows.....this should keep you entertained if there's nothing on TV tonight!


Ghost Story is a great series from Screen Gems and Columbia Pictures in 1972, that later became Circle Of Fear...Circle Of Fear lost the host, an eccentric gentleman called Winston Essex, which is a bit of a shame as he gives the series a nice old fashioned feel!

Anyway, it's stories from when it was still Ghost Story that I'll be posting tonight....First up is a rather familiar tale of a lady feeling somewhat uncomfortable in a new home........



Next we have a TV that predicts the future, some zombies and a huge dose of guilt......




And then we have this tale of a woman who finds her husband has checked out of their hotel without telling her...but that turns out to be the least of her worries....

Beasts is an ATV series I discovered thanks to a comment on the Shadows post by Two Headed Boy, and I can see what he means about the series not quite clicking....still, here's a couple of episodes so you can see if you like it yourselves! This one where a shop's mascot seems to have suddenly sprung into life....



And this one, which is another tale of a pregnant woman who doesn't like a new house! Estate agents must have really had to work hard in the seventies trying to please all these newly married, pregnant young couples.....

From the BBC's 1977 series Supernatural we've got giant puppets that might have inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein.....

And it just wouldn't be Halloween without a visit from blog regular, Vincent Price, who has a few tales to tell in this 1979 treat, Once Upon A Midnight Scary from CBS!
