Monster of the Day #1919

Sandy dug this up, which proved an early example of something I’ve always liked, which is the very solid series of supernatural or at least macabre* investigator TV pilots from the ’60s and ’70s for shows that sadly never went anywhere (other than with Kolchak). This one I’d never even heard of, and was produced by Joseph Stefano, which is presumably why the ghost–real or faked, watch the movie–looks like the Galaxy Being.

[*Almost all of them were supernatural investigators, but I have to include the superior Chamber of Horrors pilot, which was meant to lead to a series that basically would have been to horror what Wild Wild West was to sci-fi.]

    I was just thinking the Galaxy Being, with much more luxurious hair.

    Chamber of Horrors sounds like it would’ve made agreat TV show, judging by what I read online.

    Was that the old ’60s TV movie with Patrick O’Neal as the villain? I caught it recently on late night TV and was surprised by how watchable it was.

  • Dorothy P Cobb

    Was Chamber of Horrors the one with the Horror Horn?

  • Ken_Begg

    Yep!!

  • Eric Hinkle

    Was that ‘Horror Horn’ a story set in the Alps with Swiss yetis?

  • Beckoning Chasm

    I think it also had a Fear Flasher.

    THAT’S the one…remember Trapper John getting shot by the bad guy, IIRC.
