Night Of The Scarecrow

[Lilith]

My thoughts exactly!!
In fact, if Black Christmas didn't exist... we probably won't have Halloween.

Very rarely do we find a made-for-TV movie, back then, that was that scary. It's like saying the original Dracula isn't scary. You have to look at it from a 30s or 40s perspective... they never saw anything like this. I had a chance to meet the screenwriter for Dark Night of the Scarecrow and he doesn't understand where all the hate comes from.

Yes, i agree. And im happy to see that you understand where im coming from here. It truly is a movie that hasnt gotten the recognition that it should. Im not exactly sure where the hate comes from either, other then a lack of understanding that this is a made for television horror movie and possibly thinking that it came out much later therefore some people think its ripped off other francises. Which isnt the case at all. And i understand the fact that this movie may not be scary to the current generation of horror fans out there. And i dont expect it to be. Much like i dont find thee ole black n white horror movies scary. But i can say that i have an appreciation for those films of their time and give those movies their props. Because without those movies
we could not have had "our" movies of our own generation and generations to come.
