Was "Tourist Trap" made for TV? That was another creepy as hell one

Without Warning 1994
Without Warning is an American CBS TV movie, directed by Robert Iscove, featuring veteran news anchor Sander Vanocur and reporter Bree Walker as themselves covering a breaking news story of three meteor fragments crashing into the Earth's northern hemisphere. The film, which premiered on Halloween night, October 31, 1994, is presented as if it were an actual breaking news event, complete with remote reports from reporters.

"Don't go to Sleep" starring Dennis Weaver and Valerie Harper.
This one has definite cult possibilities.

The Night Stalker (1971) made me believe vampires could actually exist when I first saw it when I was a kid back in the 70's, and it's still pretty convincing each time I watch it again, which must total at least a dozen times since. Not just a creepy TV movie, but one of the creepiest (and best) Horror films ever made.
One I saw again recently and still holds up for some shivers is Satan's Triangle (1975) about a yacht adrift in the Bermuda Triangle and an evil spirit onboard that possesses people and makes them kill. Stars Kim Novak and Doug McClure.
For real-life chills, I'll name these very well-done TV films about serial killers that are exceptional:
The Deliberate Stranger (1986) with Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy.
Helter Skelter (1976) with Steve Railsback as Charles Manson (the remake from 2004 is a nice try, but Jeremy Davies' Manson can't match Railsback's wild-eyed insanity).
To Catch A Killer (1992) with Brian Dennehy as John Wayne Gacy.
The Deadly Tower (1975) with Kurt Russell as Charles Whitman (this film began Russell's career as a serious adult actor and literally blasted away any remnants of his kid-movie Disney career past).

Was just about to post This House Possessed. Scared the hell out of me, at age 7, back in '81. I still can't believe my babysitter let me watch it, lol.

I have read the book Ammie, Come Home and LOVED it. It scared me to death!
I have a great story about that (the book)
My late mother found the story originally in a Readers Digest condensed version The digest frequently edited for sex and swearing, but overall their adaptations weren't bad
Anyway, she picked up the book one night, and was going to read it just to fall asleep with she couldn't put it down and read until 12:30 in the morning - she said it scared her, too, but being a very logical person, she thought "Oh it isn't that scary, is it?" and proceeded to read it again not getting to sleep until after two in the morning with work the next day and it scared her the second time around, also!
A short time later, I found an unabridged copy in a used book store and gave it to her that freaked her out even more (RD took out a lot)
I think now I have four copies of it floating around a hardback copy, an early edition paperback, (Ammie looks really freaky on the front) a reprint in paperback, with a different cover, and I just downloaded it to my Nook. And of course I have a copy of the movie.
Great book the other with Pat and Ruth wasn't as good, but it was fun to see the characters back.

I have read the book Ammie, Come Home and LOVED it. It scared me to death!

The House that Wouldn't Die
Second that one! And if you liked the movie, you'll love the book it's based on (and not a bad adaptation of) Ammie, Come Home by Judith Michaels. And she has written at least one other book with Pat and Ruth in it, though they are not the leads.

Deadly Lessons
This House Possessed
Don't Go to Sleep
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
Those are from the 80s, from the 70s:
The House that Wouldn't Die
Home for the Holidays
Bad Ronald (of course!)
Isn't it Shocking?
And a bunch more! These lists people have been putting up are so good. Love every one of them!

I'd LOVE to WATCH that! My brother TOLD me about it.

Night Slaves

I offered this a couple of days ago, in answer to a question about favorite TV films, on the "TV 1970's" board. To me it's creepy in the socio-political sense. I haven't checked for a DVD, but I should, as I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
