Made-for-TV Terror

This fright-night double bill of ripe-for-rediscovery ’70s TV gems brings together the tense stalker thriller Someone’s Watching Me! , directed with ruthless efficiency by genre master John Carpenter, and the Carrie-esque telekinesis shocker The Spell , featuring an unforgettable performance from Lee Grant. Together, they offer a glimpse into the golden age of the television movie, when the small screen served as a proving ground for up-and-coming directors, screenwriters, and actors and a haven for Hollywood veterans orphaned by the collapse of the studio system.
