Well, let me tell ya, them 70s, they had some scary stuff on TV, not like the fancy stuff they got now. Them movies, they got right under your skin, ya know?
The 70s: When TV Got Real Spooky
Back then, we didn’t have all them special effects, no sir. Everything looked real, felt real. Made it all the more scary, I tell ya. Like that Exorcist movie? Everyone was talkin’ ’bout it. Scared the bejesus outta folks. Heard tell it was the scariest thing ever. Linda Blair, that little girl, she was somethin’ else. That movie, it weren’t made for TV, but everyone talked about it, even me, and I didn’t even see it! But it made them TV movies try harder, I reckon.
- Real Scares, Not Fancy Stuff: No computers makin’ monsters. It was all makeup and, well, just plain good acting. Made ya believe it, ya know?
- Everythin’ was a bit creepy: People were scared of all sorts then, devils and bigfoot and such. Them TV movies, they played right into that.
- Stuck in your head: These movies, they weren’t just scary while you watched ’em. They stayed with ya, made ya jump at shadows for days.
Them TV folks, they knew what we liked. Scared us good, they did. They had all sorts of scary movies. Some about ghosts, some about killers, some about devils and such. And the best part? You could watch ’em right in your own living room, no need to go to no fancy theater.
What Made Them 70s TV Movies Special?
Like I said, it was the realness of it all. And they didn’t just show you scary stuff, they told you stories. Stories about regular folks, like you and me, gettin’ mixed up in somethin’ awful. Take Trilogy of Terror, for example. Heard it was somethin’ fierce, three stories all in one. Karen Black, she was in it. Good actress, she was. That little doll in it, that Zuni doll, that was scary stuff, let me tell ya. Made ya think twice about bringin’ anythin’ strange into your house. And Satan’s School for Girls, that one got everyone talkin’ about devils and such, even more than they already were. Julie Christie, she was a big star then, and In Search of Gregory, another one with her, that one was kinda creepy too. Kept ya guessin’ till the very end.
Why We Still Remember Them
You know, they don’t make ’em like they used to. These days, it’s all flash and bang, but back then, it was about the story, about the characters. It was about gettin’ under your skin, not just makin’ ya jump outta your seat. And that’s why we still talk about them 70s TV horror movies. They were special, they were different, and they were darn scary.
Some of Them Good Old Movies, if I Remember Right:
Now, my memory ain’t what it used to be, but I remember some of them names. Like I said, Trilogy of Terror, that was a big one. And there was somethin’ about a school for girls… Satan’s School for Girls, that was it. Scared the young’uns, that one did. And then there was all sorts of others, ones about ghosts and killers and such. They had somethin’ for everyone who liked a good scare.
The 70s, A Golden Age for TV Horror
Yep, them 70s, they were a special time for TV horror. Movies were creepy, they were real, and they stuck with ya. We didn’t have much back then, but we had some good scary stories, and that was enough. They didn’t need no fancy computers to scare ya good. Just good actors, good stories, and a whole lotta creepiness. And that’s why we still love them 70s TV horror movies, even now, all these years later.
Good Old Days of Bein’ Scared
So, if you ever get a chance, check out one of them old 70s TV horror movies. Turn down the lights, grab a blanket, and get ready to be scared. But don’t say I didn’t warn ya. Them movies, they ain’t for the faint of heart. They’ll stay with ya, long after the credits roll. And that, my friends, is what makes ’em so special. They bring back memories, of a time when things were simpler, but the scares were just as real.
And that’s all I got to say about them 70s TV horror movies. They were somethin’ special, alright.
