Does anyone else remember "She's Dressed to Kill" starring Connie Selleca from 1979? Someone is murdering the world's "top models" who are gathered at the mountaintop home of a fashion designer for a private fashion show. Basically a tame TV version of a slasher movie, but the killer had strange methods of murder. One of the girls is killed when her hairspray is replaced by nerve gas! Used to turn up on TBS late at night a lot along with other TV movies and half-forgotten 80s flicks.

I must be one of the few people who actually hates "Gargoyles". It's not even that the movie is that bad, it's just that it used to turn up on TV so much, it became overkill for me. I used to fread fliping through the channels looking for a late night movie or checking the TV listing and seeing "Gargoyles" was on yet AGAIN.

I liked the made for tv movies too and a few of my favorites were:
                        Bad Ronald
                        Mad Room
                        Don't  Be Afraid of the Dark
                        Night Gallery (the pilot)
                        The Night Stalker
                        Duel
                        and one starring Cliff Robertson as an ex military man that goes hunting with his buddies and has a poor day of hunting.  They then come across other hunters that have had the same results on the other side of a stream.  Bored , a shot rings out and they start a small war between themselves, which ends abruptly.  Anyway, sometime in the future,  Cliff and his boys want to finish it and plan a military type hunting trip,  this time hunting for you know who.  Its winter and snow is on the ground.  Cliffs bunch are dressed in green fatigues and are ambushed by their prey who were dressed in white, hiding under the snow.  I think the ending has Cliff Robertson lying in a hospital while all his buddies lay in the morgue.  Does anyone know the name of that movie?  Cuz I can't remember.

The Night That Paniced America was a good one.  The well made tv movie of Orsen Wells radio broadcast of War of the Worlds.

The Cliff Robertson movie your thinking of is called "shoot" from 1976, however it was not a made for tv movie but a theater release.

Re: Damnation Alley

Some people often confuse Damnation Alley for a 1970's FILMATION TV series called Ark 2 which also featured an almost similar long vehicle & was white in color also.

 I remembered the Ark II that way too, but in reality the vehicle aren't really much alike. The Landmaster is still around and running and is a real off road vehicle. It had that weird tri wheel setup.

The front of the Ark II became part of a life size model of space ship on another 70's Saturday morning show called Space Academy.

Thanx, I could have sworn it was a tv movie but now that I think about it you're right.

Can anyone help me remember the western that showed train robbers steeling a freight car from a moving train by means of cables and a spur track?  I can't say if it's a tv movie or a series.  Perhaps it was from Wild Wild West.

I'm wondering if anyone remembers a movie from the late 70's or early 80's that had a group of vicious dogs attacking people at night.  The only scene  I can remember has some people trapped in a cabin with the dogs trying to break their way in and the dogs eye glowed red.

Yes, I loved that movie. The title was "Trapped". I recently found it on ebay when I was doing a search for old tv movies.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
