Gargoyles - After receiving word about a mysterious carcass/skeleton unearthed in the Arizona desert, a father and his daughter decide to remove it from the burial grounds for further study. If you have any memories tied to this mad monster film tell us about it at or over on the show’s Facebook page.Watch Gargoyles (1972) gomovies hd, watch Gargoyles (1972) online in 4k with English subtitles for download, Gargoyles 1972 HD I openly wonder about the dropped idea of the Satanic element of the backstory and do a little guesswork on some missed opportunities that the restrictions of television in the 70’s might have made impossible.
We lament the lack of a certain actor’s voice and find ourselves still impressed with the ambition of the film. John has some information gleaned from the DVD director’s commentary track that sheds some light on the production and answers a couple of minor questions. We both still love the monster design, the desert southwest setting and the fact that very little time is wasted getting into the meat of the story. John got to see it on it’s premiere and has some holdover nostalgia for the movie while I caught up to it much later. John Hudson and I tackle the film from several angles starting with our own histories with it. But there is much more of interest to horror fans seeking obscure telefilms than just Dan Curtis productions and, in this episode, we dive into a discussion of the fun CBS creature feature GARGOYLES (1972). The biggest of the decade’s TV films are well represented, especially the fantastic and groundbreaking one-two punch of THE NIGHT STALKER (1972) and THE NIGHT STRANGLER (1973) or even the excellent failed pilot THE NORLISS TAPES (1973). In the past few years more and more of them have made the jump to Blu-Ray with lavish care taken to bring these sometimes difficult to find tales to a new audience. In some cases, these movies have lived on in the larger public consciousness with reruns adding to their fanbase as it can take more than just excited playground conversations to grow their legends. Growing up they were often the big event of the week and the major topic of discussion for kids at school for a long time after their premiere. American genre TV movies of the 1970’s hold a fascination for me.
