We've been doing this recently for films so why not for TV Movies? The 1950s saw the birth of many TV movies, many of varying quality and most connected with or pilots for TV series. The 1960s saw a lot of cheap TV productions, often shlocky remakes done by Larry Buchanan although there are a couple of notables worth seeking out (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Evening Primrose). The 1970s though saw a marked improvement in terms of quality when it comes to Horror movies on TV.

So what's your top 10?

This is mine based on what I've seen so far...

1. Salem's Lot (1979)
2. The Night Stalker (1972)
3. Frankenstein: The True Story (1973)
4. The Night Strangler (1973)
5. Trilogy of Terror (1975)
6. Bad Ronald (1974)
7. Snowbeast (1977)
8. Count Dracula (1977)
9. Someone's Watching Me! (1978)
10. The Screaming Woman (1972)
