CBS LATE MOVIE: The Amityville Horror (1979)
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Amityville Horror was on the CBS Late Movie on October 12, 1984.

Written by George MacDonald Fraser (creator of the Flashman papers) and based on the timeless Alexandre Dumas classic, this second half of the […]
WEIRD WEDNESDAY: Simon King of the Witches (1971)
Andrew Prine is an exploitation superstar. Just look at a few of his films: Grizzly, a bonkers ripoff of Jaws with a bear instead; The Town That Dreaded Sundown, a movie that can’t decide if it wants to be a comedy or a brutal slasher and ends up being both while being awesome; Amityville II: The Possession, the […]
