Title: Grayson Hall in Gargoyles (1972)--new DVD issue!
Post by: Gothick on March 24, 2011, 04:36:52 AM

One of my personal favorite Grayson roles is her work in the 1972 TV movie Gargoyles.  It was released some years ago in the DVD format on the VCI label; there's a thread around here somewhere, with screen captures.  Now news comes of the winningly named Hen's Tooth label (apparently a legitimate outfit, not a purveyor of DVD-Rs) and a new release scheduled for May:

A shot from one of Grayson's scenes is included on the back of the DVD case.

Best, G.

If they have bios of the cast, hopefully Grayson won't be overlooked again. It was a crime that she was omitted on the VCI DVD!

It's also nice to see Grayson's name listed in the credits on the box - something else VCI managed to omit.  [snow_angry]

I thought this movie was so scary the first time I saw it!  We went to a drive in and it played with another movie about a group of kids  who find the devils bible in a cave.  For the life of me I cannot remember the name of that movie but I think the actor who played Herb on WKRP in Cincinnati was in it.  Late 60's or early 70's.

Damn, Midnite, but you're good!  I think I read a review of this one a long time ago.  Sounds like a fun frolic...

Of course it does not appear to be available in any format... sigh.

Great link, Claude! Never would I have guessed that this kind of thing would warrant a Criterion release.  And I'm afraid I have to confess I was tricked by the IMDB's clunky new set-up--there's no longer an obvious place for the "merchandising link" button, but the "watch this" or whatever it's called button was prominently displayed which usually indicates (I think!) that a title hasn't had a commercial release.

Love the trailer!  And the disc comes with a bevy of extras, including a video intro by the late, great Forry Ackerman!
