TV Horror Movies
TV movies sometimes get a bad rap: People complain about poor writing, low production values, and intrusive commercial breaks. However, most horror fans know that TV is the home of some of the greatest, scariest movies ever made. Since kids can usually sneak TV movies without their parents’ permission, it was TV movies that first scared the hell out of many young viewers, making them horror devotees for life. Back in the 1970s, made-for-TV horror movies were a genre unto themselves. The days before even the most basic of cable used to bring low-budget movies to the small screen every afternoon or as “Movies of the Week.” Many of these treasures are still highly watchable, memorable, and have even enjoyed big budget remakes.
