Hi there petrolino... We enjoyed Kitty Winn's debut last night, she was very confident alongside her co-stars, and gave a chilling possessed performance, one that really made the film. Those 70s TV films have a unique quality, with great atmosphere, surprisingly some are great entertainment. While the film starts out a bit slow and corny, that first séance electrifies the haunted house atmosphere. The House That Would Not Die directed by John Llewellyn Moxey, also features Barbara Stanwyck (in her debut in a television movie). I like Nightmare in Badham County another TV film from Moxey, one that got a European Theatrical release, he was talented low budget director. The House That Would Not Die premiered coinciding with Halloween in the Movie of the Week series on ABC on October 27, 1970. Henry Farrell, author of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, wrote the television adaptation based on the 1968 novel "Ammie Come Home" by Barbara Michaels,one of several pseudonyms used by Barbara Mertz. PS. I found while downloading the film another creepy, related TV film also from 1970, Crowhaven Farm. watching tonight. Thanks for your tribute to Kitty Winn. .......

Thanks manfromplanetx. I like more American tv movies from the 1970s than any other decade, though there's some great ones from the 1980s and 1990s. The networks attracted top flight film directors.
I like 'Nightmare In Badham County' (1976) too, would like to get it on dvd. John Llewellyn Moxey directed two of my favourite horror features, 'The City Of The Dead' (1960) and 'Circus Of Fear' (1966).

Thankyou petrolino ! The great spinoff for me from your Kitty Winn thread has been the discovery of The ABC Movie of the Week which ran from 1969-1975. As well as "top flight" directors the films in different genres are cast with 'A' grade stars from the previous decades, and as with Kitty Winn some new faces made their debut. Crowhaven Farm was excellent, and I now have a number of others downloaded, looking forward to watching eg. Daughter of the Mind 1969 with Ray Milland, Gene Tierney and Don Murray, another Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring 1971 with Sally Feild. My favourite American Tv Film is Mind Over Murder 1979 with Deborah Raffin... PS. you may have seen it but if not, this excellent Serbian horror folk tale, a Yugoslavian TV film from 1973 may be of interest, Leptirica, The She-Butterfly
Crowhaven Farm...

I'd really like to see 'Sybil' (1976) with Sally Field. I've heard great things. It runs at 198 minutes.
I have seen and enjoyed 'Leptirica, The She-Butterfly' (1973) with Mirjana Nikolic. It deserves a nice dvd release. In the same year, Nikolic made Peter Duffell's 'England Made Me' (1973) which was co-produced by Britain and Yugoslavia.
