Television Madness at the Packard Campus Theater! Check out these two Thriller episodes on the big screen!



Oh. My. Gawd.

This Friday, October 24th, the Library of Congress is showcasing two episodes of the excellent 1970s British series Thriller at the Packard Campus Theater in Culpeper, VA. The whole shebang starts at 7:30 and they are screening In the Steps of a Deadman and I'm the Girl He Wants to Kill!

The Packard Campus Theater is located at:

19053 Mount Pony Road
Culpeper, VA 22701-7551

Their phone number is 202-707-5840.

More info about the theater's fantastic programming for October can be found here (totes drool-worthy). And you can read this marvelous piece by Cary O'Dell, who is hosting the event, on the wonders of Thriller here.

Oh yeah, and check out my review of Dial a Deadly Number.

Gulp. I could die.

Why did I ever leave the D.C. area?!?

If you can make it to this event, please report back. I need to live vicariously through you.

This House Keeps Getting Possessed and Other TV Movie Goodies!


As many of you know, This House Possessed is my all time favorite TV movie, and not just because Parker Stevenson is so tasty in his Sergio Valentis either! Possessed is a genuinely entertaining film that has carried me through all things good and bad and I love finding other fans of the best TVM going! Thanks to Aunt John at Kindertrauma for sending along this link to Vinnie Rattolle's blog which takes an incredible look at Possessed, offering tons of interesting tidbits and some nice pics as well! If you are so inclined to get your Possessed fix-on, you can also look at my own picture gallery and read my review (you can read my capsule review here). All the kids are doing it, so why not stop on by!


In other TV movie news, a movie theater in New York called the 92YTribeca is screening two awesome classics: Bad Ronald and Don't Go To Sleep!!! These screenings are on separate nights, so please click on the links for the deets. Oh man, I so wish I was closer to New York! If you can go, please report back, I'd love to hear about how the screenings went! And another big thank you goes to Meep over at Cinema du Meep for the head's up!

Recently, I came across a website for a man named Ryal Haakenson who chronicled his time as an extra in movies. He's got a special section just for his work in TV movies! Most of these look like they were shot and released in the 90s, so it's a nice little inside look at the dying breed of the television movie.


And finally, although it's not TV movie related I still thought this was worth mentioning - if you get Antenna TV, then be prepared to catch the incredible Three's Company spinoff Three's a Crowd, starting June 27th at 6 pm! And yes, I said incredible! I adore this show just about as much as Company, the combination of John Ritter and Robert Mandan is absolutely perfect! Crowd was a truly funny sitcom that deserved more than the one season it got. It's worth revisiting, so if you have the chance, I say go for it!

More Cool TV Stuff!


I can't let the day go by without wishing Tom Selleck a very happy birthday. My favorite private detective turned 66 today. I wrote this birthday post last year, which features some still shots from his first TV movie! So if you want to get your Magnum-on, I suggest you clicka da link!


Also, I am pleased beyond words to let you know that Exhumed Films will be holding a screening of Gargoyles on March 25th! The theater is located in Philadelphia, so if you think you'll be around, visit their site for the deets. What a great film to show on the big screen. Although I think it's aged a bit, the overall effects are wonderful and I just love that Bernie Casey - he's my favorite sexy scaly monster! You can click on this link to read my review of Gargoyles. (btw, a big thinks to Michael at Cinema Du Meep for the heads up on this!)


Also, you should pick up issue number 5 of Stiff Magazine to check out their retrospective on Don't Be Afraid of the Dark! Although I don't have a copy (yet), I am familiar with the writer, William J. Wright and he's wonderful. It's definitely a must read if you love TV movies!



And finally, I saw that Terror at London Bridge is streaming on Hulu! It's got David Hasselhoff, Adrienne Barbeau and Clu Gulager. You can click on the link to read my review over at Retro Slashers.
