Fun book to read

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well-written book. It brought back many fond memories of watching these TV movies back in the seventies. The information was quite thorough and interesting. Highly recommended.

Well-done critical survey of 70s made-for-TV horror

An entertaining survey of the golden age of the scary TV-movie. Author Deal covers more than 150 made-for-TV horrors, ranging from the enjoyably cheesy to the genuine classics. Remember "Duel"? "Satan's School for Girls"? "Salem's Lot"? They're all here, with synopses, cast notes, and well-informed critical commentary. Baby boomers will have a fun trip down memory lane, and maybe find a few movies they've overlooked. Recommended.

Television Fright Films of the 1970's

This book is amazing for tracking down TV's best fright movies. A++++ for easy of use and information on each film.

If the made-for-television movie has long been regarded as a poor stepchild of the film industry, then telefilm horror has been the most uncelebrated offspring of all. Considered unworthy of critical attention, scary movies made for television have received little notice over the years. Yet millions of fans grew up watching them--especially during the 1970s--and remember them fondly.

This exhaustive survey addresses the lack of critical attention by evaluating such films on their own merits. Covering nearly 150 made-for-TV fright movies from the 1970s, the book includes credits, a plot synopsis, and critical commentary for each. From the well-remembered Don't Be Afraid of the Dark to the better-forgotten Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby, it's a trustworthy and entertaining guide to the golden age of the televised horror movie.
