Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest

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?

You know, I never realized how much JK & DC had worked together.....

Patti

are they still 'friendly'?

Has DC ever attended a fest?

Has DC ever attended a fest?

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

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).

A messed-up drug thing?? How disappointing...

thanks though,

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.

I think that MPI had this available on VHS a few years back.  They released a lot of the DC directed and/or produced 70s TV movies, I know.  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!).
