The Greatest American Hero: The Beast in the Black (1981)
still remember after 29 years!
i just saw this show in june 2010 after seeing it once in 1981, 29 years ago. it scared me for years. i always wanted to see it again to see if it was as scary and creepy as i remembered. i have to admit it was still scary. i still got startled. i was still majorly creeped out. now i understand why this scarred me for a long time as a kid. but it was an awesome story. the effects were superb. the use of darkness and imagery as well as old school horror movie tactics make this something that i'll remember for the rest of my life. however, this show should have never made it to public television. it was cool to see that ralph was a teacher and his students were very diversified. i recognize that the setting of the story was probably in pasadena. i only know that because i lived near there a few years ago. it's funny hearing them talk about 1981 prices, they are so inflated now.
