The Norliss Tapes.
scared the shit out of me as a kid.
on a related note :
the two Nightstalker movies.
all quality TV movies that are (in my opinion) unmatched.

I have never watched The Norliss Tapes, but I will agree that the Nightstalker movies were great. I would have went to the theater to watch them... had they been show in a theater and had I been born sooner. There are so many made for tv movies and series out there, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but I could safely say that on the top of my list is the 1981 "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy".

i forgot about Hitchhikers - it is a good one as well.
Norliss Tapes came out on DVD in the USA last year ..
My copy should be in my hands sometime this week ... after all these years.
Nightstalker fer sure.
never saw The Norliss Tapes....i'll have to look into it.

"It" sucked.
"The Langoliers" was a good made-for-TV deal, but was only as good as the novella I guess. It follows it very closely.
i LOVED nightstalker - kolchak rocked
didn't that 'gargoyle' movie set out in the desert come out on tv in the 70s- i remember really liking that as a kid
never heard of norliss tapes but will have to check it out
of the more recent stuff - i thought The Stand started out pretty good (though it should have been big-budget and on HBO or Showtime)
