It almost did (it got a 7.1 on IMDB). I only went up to a certain level of obscurity. I think I might have watched that at some point, did Mr. Boogedy often just shout BOOGEDY!! randomly?

It might have been, I can barely remember it, I was less than 10 when I saw it. I remember it being pretty good for a Disney flick but I haven't been able to find a copy as an adult.

Someone Is Watching

I have this one in my collection.

It stars Lauren Hutton as Leigh Michaels.

When Leigh Michaels moves into her high rise apartment she just loves the view. And so does a peeping Tom from the tower across from her.

Written & directed by John Carpenter.

The terror begins with anonomous phone calls , gifts and lights that flicker. Leigh is contantly under surveillance by her tormentor. She turns the tables when she becomes the stalker trying to find out who her tormentor is.

Very good horror/thriller film.

Tales Of Tomorrow.

This was TV's first science fiction anthology which came about in 1951. If I am not mistaken these were live performances.

Some of the top film stars played in these stories such as Lon Chaney, Jr., Veronica Lake, Lee J. Cobb, Raymond Bailey (of Beverly Hillbillies fame) and Zacahery Scott.

In one of the stories "Ice From Space" you will see a very young Paul Newman.

I was like about 7 years old when this came on TV and at that time I was required to go to bed early for school the next day.

This was the forerunner to The Twilight Zone & The Outer Limits.

There are a couple of collections out on DVD and they are worth the price to see early sci fi and fantasy on classic TV.

Thank you Duchess. I was hoping you or neverending would have some info on those early horror/sci-fi shows.

It looks like the 70's was the decade for made for tv movies.
