When you get older, it’s the "landscape" of your youth that you miss. The familiar faces of distinctive character actors, the clothing styles, the music… so many things about these old shows recall that landscape.
I'm having the time of my life viewing these again after all these decades! The eerie sounds they used in the 70's used to send chills down my spine especially at only 10 years old! I'm loving this & so glad someone took the time to put them on here. It's great!
Same here at 8 it really scared 😱 me. I wasn't allowed to watch this, but I would sneak it at my grandparents house, were I wasn't under the watchful eye of my parents. Philly viktor 1965.
Shows like this, Night Gallery, Tales from the Dark Side. Not big on special effects but great creepy stories. They don't make them like this anymore. I loved this show as kid and still do.
So true: we didn't need special effects telling ghost stories by camp fires and making everyone afraid to budge and these writers knew the same tricks.
Agreed. Amazing what a good story-line can do. Most (but not all, thankfully) horror film makers today tend to miss the point & go overboard with the gratuitous stuff - they forget to to "tell the tale".
1973 wasn't a simpler time, but we were children back then when we didn't have to worry about mortgages and health care. in 1973 we had Vietnam, the Watergate hearings, an OPEC oil embargo, terrorism (Munich happened the previous year), a meat shortage and out-of-control inflation. OTOH, network TV was better then.
@@Gobear1 I remember everything but the meat shortage. Had to look that one up. I was only six, so it probably just sounded like yet more talk of inflation to me. Oh, and I thought Watergate was about water.
No matter what was going on, it was a simpler time because we didn’t have internet, cell phones, texting, GMO’s and everything else. Problems seemed solvable back then, unlike today. We also had just reached peak oil, but the coal and steel industry were still keeping on.
I remember watching this show when it first came on television, I always had to have every light in the house on. The creepy nervous sounding music with the synthesizer always gave me the chills.
I know! So true! Much scarier then the crap that came out later with blood and gore. This made my young mind think! Also, even though just a show I noticed how people came together more then... now it's all about the darn cell phone... communication is not the same for sure. We are losing something. : (
Here again after finding these last year....i can't get over the memories and feelings of better times while watching these..i wish I could go back ....2 when things were happier 4 me when things were more simple and life was not so heavy and sad....
How come the quality of these old shows is so great? There's a richness in the sounds, the look, the atmosphere. It helps to have a high quality recording.
Damn,damn,damn! Great episode! Good story line, the fate of the dog was left to the imagination. Far more scary than the excessive violence and meaningless sex junk that is produced today.Great ending! I loved the 70s! Wish I had a time machine to go back! But these shows will certainly do and remind me of a simpler and less stressful time in my life.
Truly a viewing pleasure to see these familiar actors I used to enjoy on TV shows in the 1970s. I think all of them must have been on Hawaii 5-0 at least once or twice. These shows are great!
Wait a minute -- Ms. Daly was honored with half a dozen Emmy Awards and a Tony -- how in the world does that equate to "under-rated"?! . . . Yes, it is "a pleasure." I would add her co-leads Scott Marlow, Joan Blackman, Brooke Bundy, Frank Converse and Tim McIntire are all performing 'at the top of their game,' and with Ms. Daly make a superb, memorable ensemble. . . . . Kinda sad to think that with over three dozen film and TV credits this is so close to the end of Ms Blackman's career.
Thanks for adding these episodes, Winston Essex! This show attracted terrific actors (I've loved Frank Converse since his "Coronet Blue" days), and great writers like Harlan Ellison, who wrote this episode, with help from D. C. Fontana. Truly eerie.
Oh my God!! I remember being in jr. high at this time and just barely getting through the school day so I could home and watch shows like this, night gallery, the sixth sense, the night stalker, nbc mystery movie snd abc movie of the week had a lot of spooky/eerie/horror, too! If I recall correctly , abc added a tuesday movie of the week that was dedicated to the spooky/eerie in particular. I'd give anything for a time machine, I'd go back in a second!! These shows don't scare me like they used to, I'm older now and the world jaded the hell out of me!! But, looking back, these low budget, tacky shows were the greatest things to appear on TV, ever!! A simpler, cooler time. A trillion times better than these days!! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put this all together, it is TRULY APPRECIATED!! You've had an effect on a great number of people!!
@@paulfleming715 Aside from Dark Shadows all of the Dan Curtis network series attempts resulted in failure . Nightstalker however almost lasted a Single Season
I saw part of the original broadcast in 1973, but not the last third. Strangely the story stayed with me. I never knew what this series was, and just found out in 2020. Thanks for posting this so I can see the full episode. The ending was more bizarre than I imagined. Harlan Ellison was a freaking genius.
Ohhhh,lookie who's there @ 1:55....Dabbs Greer,probably,best known for his role as Rev. Alden on "Little House....". Unmistakable voice;great character actor.
I remember watching this as a kid and being so scared now it seems really campy.If I really want to scare myself now all I have to do is open up my property tax bill.
I love how this episode centers around artists ensnared by their craft and their enchantment with the material world; it really gets under your skin if you know anything first-hand about the creative process.
i still don't know how i missed this series when it originally aired. this is my favorite genre, and i was (am) a true TV junkie. thank you for your vids!
thanks for that upload always nice to randomly stumble upon a great vintage tv show I had no previous idea about. Effectively creepy, despite the studio setting nice production values. 1970s rocked in every way. Loved this one, the grrovy artsy community and what an ending!
Stephen King is not one of our more quotable writers, but he was spot on when he lambasted the limp tv horror genre with "sometimes you have to have a little steak with your sizzle." Typically, we get a reaction shot to some grand reveal we never see...but this episode has some steak cubes in the bottom. That horrible metal face! Wilhem-quality screamage! What a pleasure this show is. I missed this episode the first time around; I was only seven, and without draws like Jodie foster and her voodoo cookies, I could be off by the second reel.
I like this series. The music and effects were truly scary. Simply things like the toy horse(dark vengence) and Kim's dreams with the wheels rolling by in the darkness, (doorway to death) with the creepy scene in the closet of the guy chopping wood in front of his cabin as well as his muddy footprints in Peg's (Susan Day's) room, the jars in this episode and the guy's voice becoming distorted and his face at the end, the miniture woman in a jar in (legion of demons), the surreal accident scene with Patrica Neal, and the cookie voodoo dolls in the doll house starring Jodie Foster still scare me after 50 years. I have the DVD set of Ghost story/Circle of Fear and Night Gallery.
Lets all have an evil jar party. Everyone bring your demonic jars to dinner and lets talk about our new arts and craft hobbies no one wants to buy. I am currently working on a pair of wooden shoes with gravel inlay. What's your new craft? :)
I always watched this show as a kid in the 70s, but I missed this one. Good thing, too; had I seen this at the age of ten, I wouldn't have slept for months.
And the talent to 'pull it off' -- Tim McIntire, Tyne Daly, Brooke Bundy, Joan Blackman, Frank Converse, Scott Marlowe. A very generous helping of oh-so-familiar guest stars of the era.
This episode is really all about the loneliness and poverty of being a co-op artist, which is quite clever, when you think about it. They all die (or are absorbed) as they become total artists and end up disappearing into the matmos. A perfect metaphor for the dilemma of the artist.
I saw this when I was only 5. I could hardly remember the story I could just recall bits and pieces. It scared the crap out of me. Now I want to see other episodes.
I was 10 and I barely remember it I tried to Google the storyline, but a horror story about lava lamps was to vague. Like I said I remember bits and pieces of it. Than in a comment section of a circle of fear episode someone mentioned a story about six hippies getting their souls devoured inside jars, that really rang a bell. Than googled that same sentence and it brought me here.
I remember watching this program with my mother (she enjoyed horror) when it was first broadcast. I have the series on DVD, though I preferred the episodes introduced by Sebastien Cabot. Nevertheless, I have always considered this particular episode the most terrifying of the show's entire run.
This was a scary episode. I had a vague recollection of this one. But it it stuck in my mind forever. I was spooked and all I could remember was the lava lamps and people were stuck inside them.
Good old school days proper movies back then , not like today on lockdown still, but I got old movies to watch ⌚ and me green and beers , God bless evrey one
This was a show I never saw (I was only 12 and my Mom probably wouldn't have let me), but they're GREAT! Well-written, a little melodramatic, but good acting and story telling...thanks for posting!
This was definitely one of the scariest episodes in "Circle of Fear," which was actually superior to the earlier "Ghost Stories" semi-series. They filmed on celluloid film back then, so you did not hsve those garbage colors of digital cameras that we are stuck with today.
even though i was 5 when this came out i remember how good 70s tv was ..reminds me of staying at my graamie and grandpas eating homade cookies n milk while they watched these great shows...miss those days
When I was a kid show like this did scare me too, but today... To quote 25531"I remember watching this as a kid and being so scared now it seems really campy.If I really want to scare myself now all I have to do is open up my property tax bill."
The Groovy Apothecary Jar episode ! This one went right over my naive twelve year old head. But I remember being sure that it was REAL COOL ! I could at least tell that much about it.
This is a good series. Could do without all the "it doesn't hold up" "camp"& "cringe" comments. It's no wonder as the cast is all over 12 years old, and if modern audiences don't "see themselves" in everything they consume they consider it crap.
Just came across this channel. Thanks, Winston, for uploading these. I remember some from when I was a very little girl, I think on Friday nights, probably when my sister was babysitting. It seems that there aren’t creepy spine-tingling series like this today. Everything is special effects, gore and fight scenes. Does anyone know of any? It seems there would be an audience for it.
Tales of the unexpected, half hour British TV series, hammer House of horror, 13 stand-alone 1 hour episodes, also British TV, Amicus anthology horror films are good, Tales from the crypt, From beyond the grave, amicus made 5 films in total, I think? Some on TH-cam and elsewhere, info available on Wikipedia etc etc etc don't have nightmares! PS a good American film is The Norless tapes with Angie Dickinson, TV movie, seen it back in the 70s, too young for that then, frightening scary stuff ❤
I love all these old shows. Such great stories.. Frank Converse was a great actor too..Check out "Movin' On" another great 70's time capsule of a show... This episode of Circle of Fear also features Tim McIntire, another great actor. He played Caine's brother (Danny Caine) in Kung Fu!
I was ten when C of F came out... I only saw 2 episodes... I had such nightmares I was not allowed to see any more episodes... The scary voodoo cookie episode still haunts me to this day...
When you get older, it’s the "landscape" of your youth that you miss. The familiar faces of distinctive character actors, the clothing styles, the music… so many things about these old shows recall that landscape.
All of it, so nostalgic
Good point. It just looks 'right' in a way that modern/smarter/ up to date stuff doesn't.
Great and very insightful comment
Couldn't agree more, there is a certain warmth and familiarity with these old classics that the sterile shows of today lack.
It's sucks getting old!😢

1973 wasn't a simpler time, but we were children back then when we didn't have to worry about mortgages and health care. in 1973 we had Vietnam, the Watergate hearings, an OPEC oil embargo, terrorism (Munich happened the previous year), a meat shortage and out-of-control inflation.

At the end " Call me Dr. Doom !!!".
Me too, I've never felt I belong since year 2000.😕😢
This used to be one of my favorite shows I can't wait to rediscover it ❤❤❤
I remember watching this show when it first came on television, I always had to have every light in the house on. The creepy nervous sounding music with the synthesizer always gave me the chills.
Farley Boy I'm glad they kept the music in from the first incarnation of the series.

Michael Gallegos I totally agree, my kids gave me subscriptions for Netflix and amazon prime, this is better than 99% of those combined.

A pleasure to see Tyne Daly in this. She was a wonderful, highly under-rated actress!
Was? She's still with us, AFAIK.

I like the fact that the main characters aren’t kids. It’s refreshing. Thanks, these are great! :’

It seems that there aren’t creepy spine-tingling series like this today. Everything is special effects, gore and fight scenes. Does anyone know of any? It seems there would be an audience for it.
Tales of the unexpected, half hour British TV series, hammer House of horror, 13 stand-alone 1 hour episodes, also British TV, Amicus anthology horror films are good, Tales from the crypt, From beyond the grave, amicus made 5 films in total, I think? Some on TH-cam and elsewhere, info available on Wikipedia etc etc etc don't have nightmares! PS a good American film is The Norless tapes with Angie Dickinson, TV movie, seen it back in the 70s, too young for that then, frightening scary stuff ❤
@@michaelhall596 wow! Thanks
I love all these old shows. Such great stories.. Frank Converse was a great actor too..Check out "Movin' On" another great 70's time capsule of a show... This episode of Circle of Fear also features Tim McIntire, another great actor. He played Caine's brother (Danny Caine) in Kung Fu!
I learned to throw on a kick wheel! Makes me want to do it again!!!
This is deep!! Somebody was high as F**k when they wrote this-good show though!!!
That seems to be the case for most of these episodes .Check out Legions of Demons
Omg it's a good thing I never saw this episode when I was young. they don't make horrors like this anymore
I don't reckon there's cookies in them there jars... :0
The ending's cool...it reminds me of The Masks episode of Twilight Zone
I’m pretty sure that if I had seen this as a kid, I would’ve had nightmares.
at 9:40 when Holly was in the studio and she says she knocked over a vase... you can see a prop person behind the table who knocks over the vase.
A really good show, thanks for the upload.
I was ten when C of F came out... I only saw 2 episodes... I had such nightmares I was not allowed to see any more episodes... The scary voodoo cookie episode still haunts me to this day...
On no jive turkey i thought this was earth wind and fire 🔥the group well guess I'll boogie on down the line.
Lmao 😂
I hope my kombucha jars don't start doing that.
