Those of you who were around in the 1970s know it was a truly unusual time. It woefully lacked the groovy vibe of the 60’s and definitely didn’t have the tech-hipness of the 80’s. But what it lacked from the eras for which it was flanked, it made up for with its own unique elements of style. While often derided for unleashing upon the world such vile hallmarks as “disco” and petrol shortages, the 1970’s did give us the incredible Star Wars and the delightful Farrah Fawcett.
Where this weekend’s movie falls within that spectrum is entirely up to you.
We’ll be presenting “The People” from 1972. It’s hard to tell you much about this film without spoiling it. But here’s a few interesting facts: it was filmed on the west end of Marin County, only a mere 24 miles from The Poulter Mansion in Bodega Bay. It was executive-produced by Francis Ford Coppola, who was too busy finishing The Godfather at the time to direct this one himself. It stars Kim Darby, who you might remember as the stubborn teenager in True Grit. And has what one can only describe as a cameo-plus appearance by William Shatner, who incidentally was again invited to come onto the show as a guest and again ungraciously declined Vincent’s most generous offer. Something silly about having to go into space. Right.

Our viewer friends that enjoy our program on YouTube are likely quite familiar with the wonderful Spooky Boo. She’s been kind enough to be our Chat Forum Nanny for the past several years. But what’s she’s really famous for is her spectacular storytelling on her fabulous podcasts that comprise Spooky Boo’s Scary Story Time, Creepypasta and True Scary Stories. And with this being the Halloween season, we couldn’t think of a better guest than our favorite distributor of spooky tales. She’ll chime in on the night’s movie, tell us some dreadful tales and let us know what she’s up to for Halloween.
And speaking of scary, our movie should do the job nicely for we’ll be presenting “Demon Witch Child” from 1975. There’s so much wrong with this movie that we can’t begin to list it here. Those of you who like disturbing horror films will probably like it. But you might want to let the little kids sit this one out. Hopefully, someone is running “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on another station.

…that the manor needs repainting. Handrew agrees and has been requesting quotes. But Vincent likes it the way it is stating, “It serves to keep door-to-door salesman away as it makes us look like we’re broke.” Tangella wants to keep it as it is simply because, as she puts it, “The creepier the better.” What do you think?
Those of you who watch the show on the regular know that there’s not much we can do to keep Tangella nearby for the entire program. But one sure-fire method we employ is to invite over a guest that brings a collection of furry creatures. And that’s exactly what we’re doing this weekend. We’ll be joined by the wonderful Bonnie Cromwell from Classroom Safari. She’ll share with us a portion of her delightful menagerie and will even teach Tangella how to properly feed a sloth.
And between the Wild Kingdom segments, we’ll be watching “Deathdream” (formerly titled “Dead of Night”) from 1974. The story revolves around a soldier named Andy who was lost at war and mysteriously returns to his family’s home. At first, everything is great but then things start going bad and you’ll be left wondering if Andy is a zombie, a vampire or simply some poor actor hoping he’ll be moving on to do better things.

Nightmares can be serious business. Especially when you have to retell your worst to a group of men sipping aperitifs whilst locked in a luxurious basement. This weekend we’ll be watching “The Vault of Horror” from 1973, based on the comic book of the same name. Starring Tom Baker and Terry-Thomas, it packs that wonderful stuffy-British-horror motif we’ve all come to know and love.
Joining us to watch this fun film will be a surprise guest. Surprise, meaning that as of this writing, the guest has not fully committed to coming up to do the show so the surprise will likely be that there will be no guest at all.

We have a great ghost story for you this weekend: “Don’t Go To Sleep” from 1982. This stars Valerie Harper and Dennis Weaver. We know – it sounds like a really bad TV movie of the week but we think you’ll enjoy it. It also stars the wonderfully brash Ruth Gordon and Oliver Robins. You’ll remember the latter from “Poltergeist” who had issues with the tree outside his window. Talk about a kid who knows ghosts…
Joining us as our guest will be our old friend Jackie Kong. When she’s not creating fun horror movies like “Blood Diner” she likes to visit the Poulter Mansion and watch a crummy movie with us. She’ll tell us about her exciting new project and bring a bit of fashion to our guest chair.
