Seven More TV Movies To Keep The Family Awake All Night
A while back, iHorror brought you a list of scary TV movies that the whole family can enjoy. Because there are so many more than were covered there, we’ve got another list of television broadcast terrors for you. These ones are all from the seventies, when network television was still able to be terrifying…
Don’t be Afraid of the Dark
Before there was the 2010 Katie Holmes/Guy Pearce spookfest, there was this little 1973 TV movie. The story is essentially the same; a couple buys an old house and discovers a horde of little monsters live within the walls. It’s one of the most legendarily horrifying TV movies ever made. Stars Kim Darby and Jim Hutton as the couple.

Bad Ronald
Speaking of living within walls – Bad Ronald is about a teenage boy who continues to live inside the walls of his house after his mother dies and the house is sold to new owners. Of course, he starts stalking the daughter of the family that has moved into his home. This creepy 1974 movie is ripe for a modern remake. Stars Scott Jacoby in the title role.

Moon of the Wolf
Moon of the Wolf is a fairly standard werewolf movie about a small town sheriff who discovers that the string of murders plaguing his little burg are the doings of a lycanthrope. The werewolf himself is more I Was a Teenage Werewolf than An American Werewolf in London, but what do you expect? It was 1972. Stars David Janssen and Barbara Rush.

Someone’s Watching Me
Often considered a “lost” John Carpenter film from 1978 (the same year Halloween was released), Someone’s Watching Me is about an woman who, as the title suggests, is being stalked by a mysterious stranger who peeps on her in her apartment and calls her to tell her about it. Stars Lauren Hutton, Adrienne Barbeau, and David Birney.

The Spell
Also in 1977, one year after Carrie hit theaters, TV viewers got The Spell. It’s about a high school girl who uses her psychic powers to take revenge on the classmates who bully her. Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s Carrie. Keep an eye out for a young Helen Hunt in this one.

Killer Bees
In the seventies, there was an overblown fear of Africanized honey bees making their way to America, partially because of movies like Killer Bees. This 1974 movie isn’t a typical killer bee movie, as it focuses on a single woman who controls the bees on her farm. Stars a pre-Charlie’s Angels Kate Jackson.

Baffling Footage of “Time Traveler” Captured on Ring Cam
Some physicists think that time travel is possible and in a recent social media story we might believe them.
It all started when a homeowner named Alec Schaal checked his outside security camera remotely. He saw a young gentleman walking aimlessly around the yard seemingly looking for something. The trespassing individual with a backpack over his shoulder entered the homeowner’s tool shed and closed the door. It seemed like a simple case of unlawful intrusion. But as the homeowner reviewed the entire footage he noticed something strange and ended up calling the police.
It became a concern when the interloper never exited the shed. Worried, the homeowner had law enforcement check on the situation but the investigation turned up nothing: the stranger was nowhere to be found, he seemingly disappeared into thin air.
That would have been the end of it, but what happened next is even stranger.
The next day, someone who looks like the first guy emerges from the shed but he appears 30 years older!!
Since this weird story broke, Schaal’s TikTok has been blowing up and he has given several updates. Of course, some people are outright skeptical about the whole thing, while others want more proof which Schaal provides.
In the most recent update, Schaal says TikTok is trying to remove the story from his feed saying that it violates their guidelines about…gambling. He’s appealed but was declined.
Take a look at the videos for yourself and let us know what you think.
@alecschaal I’ve literally watched this 1 million times and he never leaves. Where did he go? 😭👀

‘Violent Night’ Director’s Next Project is a Shark Movie
Sony Pictures is getting in the water with director Tommy Wirkola for his next project; a shark movie. Although no plot details have been revealed, Variety confirms that the movie will start filming in Australia this summer.
Also confirmed is that actress Phoebe Dynevor is circling the project and is in talks to star. She is probably best known for her role as Daphne in the popular Netflix soap Bridgerton.
Duo Adam McKay and Kevin Messick (Don’t Look Up, Succession) will produce the new film.
Wirkola is from Norway and utilizes a lot of action in his horror films. One of his first films, Dead Snow (2009), about zombie Nazis, is a cult favorite, and his 2013 action-heavy Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is an entertaining distraction.
But 2022’s Christmas blood fest Violent Night starring David Harbour made wider audiences familiar with Wirkola. Coupled with favorable reviews and a great CinemaScore, the film became a Yuletide hit.
Insneider first reported this new shark project.
