Title: Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest
Post by: Patti Feinberg on June 20, 2003, 07:56:30 PM: I'm looking at imdb dot com; there's a John Karlen movie DIRECTED by Lela Swift titled "Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest".

There's no description; it's from 1974.

Has anyone ever seen it?

Patti

No. But he was at the Paley Festival tribute at the Director's Guild in 2001.

Post by: Gerard on June 21, 2003, 02:30:11 AM: It does ring a bell to me, especially after reading a short synopsis I found on a website: "The true story of a family who became the the victims of yet another drug war excess as police mistook their house as the location for a raid. In order to cover-up their tragic fumble, the cops plant heroin in the house."

It also lists Jim Hutton and Mariette Hartley as being in it (along with Lela Swift as director).

Post by: Gerard on June 21, 2003, 02:52:30 PM: Ain't it though, Patti? You'd think with a title like that it would be about some family moving into a ghost-and-demon filled abode, battling for their lives as one by one they're sucked into the plumbing to spend an eternity living as zombies or something.

I'm pretty sure now that I did see the made-for-the-boob-tube movie many, many years, ago (actually, decades) but only vaguely.

Unfortunately to my knowledge they never did The Great Ice Rip-off--it would be nice to have a good quality copy of that film (Grayson had a good role in it--and Shadows of the Night is heard playing in a coffee shop at one point!).
