Anyone remember the name of this one?

 

All I remember was that the movie was set on a plane and there was a frozen dog in the cargo hold. Maybe Shatner was in it too

 

Thought it was kinda creepy too

Horror At 37,000 Feet

1972 not late 70s

Some funny reviews

 

It has Chuck Conners the Rifleman, the Professor from Gilligan's Island, Jed Clampet, and Captain Kirk!

It's on youtube

[Bio-Rupp]

Love those chops on Kirk

I also remember The Kingdom of the Spiders knockoff, "Tarantula: The Deadly Cargo" starring Claude Akins, scaring the out of me when I was four. Add "Death Car on the Freeway" with the psychotic Freeway Fiddler too.

 

The 70's

Speaking of Chuck Connors, I loved the show "Werewolf" that came out in 1987. It was one of Fox's first shows when the network started.

Kolchak: the Night Stalker. Does that count? It scared me at age 10 or so, and 9 pm was late night back then.

 

Sure! The first two (Night Stalker and Night Strangler) were made for TV movies that were continued by the series. along with Gargoyles it is my favorite from those days.

[Prince Namor]

Salem's Lot? That was another good one!

Darren McGavin will always have a fan in me because of those shows. He was the scared hero and I was the scared viewer.

Yeah, McGavin had a style about him that I really like. Also love the way he would say "Tony Vincenzo".

I remember that show. I loved the fact that Frank Lupo was the writer as lupo is Italian for wolf.

 

The entire series has been uploaded to youtube. Here is a link to the page. Each episode is complete in one viewing and are arranged in order.

Why would you watch this? I have nightmares about the boy floating at the window as it is, and I have not seen that scene for 25 years or so!

 

(Wait, is that The Lost Boys?)

I saw that recently when I was looking for the dvd. I plan on sitting down and watching it soon I guess they keep trying to get the series on dvd but there are issues with a certain musical artist that is a major part of the background soundtrack not allowing it.

That is what I love about the Roku box or similar streamers to your TV. You can hit youtube and just settle back and watch things you haven't seen in years.

 

PS - I remember freaking out seeing Chuck Connors as Janos. He was the antithesis of Lucas McCain.

He was a very versatile actor for sure. For me, he played the ultimate father in A Christmas Story. A lot of us had a father just like him. My father said his father was just like him even.
