Viewing Notes

Can’t be spooky season without Vincent Price making an appearance!

Found this BIG directed tv pilot on Archive.org. Downloaded it and a few other BIG films I haven’t seen.

When this started I was like “oh I’ve seen this!” But it wasn’t logged here. Then I learn this is just a different version of his Tormented movie from the previous year! Doh!
