To start with; there were only 7 channels..at least in NY.And; most programming; used to end around 3am...National Anthem; pleasetake a bow. A staple of 1970s Television were "Movies of the Week"many of those; thankfully; were thrillers/suspense/horror andnow courtesy of David Deal we finally have a book that chroniclesthose films in "Television Fright Films of the 1970s"The books spans the entire decade from 1970-1979 and boasts over 150 films. All films include a Cast Crew listing plus running time and original date of airing. The reviews are intelligent; witty and enlightening with a number of great photos and/or promotional postersfrom the period.Moreover; the author never approaches the subject mattertoo seriously. Whats most refreshing about "Fright Films" isthat Mr. Deals isnt on any particular "agenda" he writes;critics and analyzes accordingly without going overboard. Nevermean-spirited but not afraid of the occasional tongue lash that of which Barbra "I Dream Of Jeanie" Eden seems to be the recipient of on morethan one occasion.While I have no major criticisms there are a few minor points; here and there. For example; the reviews are generally short. A plusin most cases although some films deserve a deeper study. At times; Mr. Deal goes on a slight tangent on other projects that the stars/director etc..have done and drifts off from the movie in question.However; if you expect this book to only cover "pure" horror you may be disappointed. It runs the gamut from "Suspense" to "Disaster"to "Crime-Thrillers" and a litany of other sub-genres related and/or associated with Horror. That said; there are some real "Horror" classicsand lost gems in this entry..from "Trilogy of Terror" [1975]"Dont Be Afraid of the Dark" [1973] "The Initiation of Sarah" [1978]"Satans School for Girls" [1973] "Vampire" [1979] "Duel" [1971] and the "The Spell" [1977]..to name a few.Kudos to Mr. Deal for researching and successfully executing aforgotten period in our Telefilm history4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Fun book - but dont buy it for your KindleBy Tom GDeals approach to the subject matter - light; encyclopedic; and playful = makes his short reviews a fun read but the Kindle edition of this book suffers from a number of major problems - the first being how extraordinarily difficult it is to page to a specific film. The telefilms are alphabetical by title but there is no cross-referencing which allows the reader quick access. Instead; one must use the Kindles awkward search system to locate the title you are looking for; then; when multiple locations for the title come up; you must hope you click on the correct choice or you will have to start the process all over again. A neat index at the end of the book lists all the mentioned telefilms but; again; the reader cant click on a title and get there quickly. There is also no way to get to specific films from the table of contents. Finally; Deal spends more time on lesser films and less time on the important and memorable films of the decade; often spinning off into unrelated tangents about actors; directors; writers and their work outside of the film he begins with.That being said; there is no other reference like it for people with a fondness for this genre. Beggars cant be choosers. The book disappoints in many ways and the Kindle edition makes it worse. Stick to the paper edition.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Book Covering a Neglected Type of FilmBy filmfan1970David Deals book is certain to rekindle feelings of nostalgia for those who grew up on a steady diet of television during the decade of the 1970s. It is well researched and not only features in depth details and analysis of these 1970s telefrights; but also offers many interesting biographical details regarding the lives of the talent involved in these films. Highly recommended for anyone who grew up during the weird but unforgettable decade of the 1970s with a television tuned to the three networks of the day.
