Nightmare at 43 Hillcrest
« 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?

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

Patti

are they still 'friendly'?

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).

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!).
