TV movies nowadays rightly get a bad rap with poor writing, low production values, and intrusive commercial breaks.. However, back in the 1970s, made-for-TV horror movies were a genre unto themselves. Many of those TV movies are still highly watchable, memorable, and have even enjoyed big budget remakes. I seen a lot of good TV horror movies over the past couple of years so here is what I really liked:

So what are some of your favorite TV Horror movie(s) ?
Duel
Salem's Lot
The Bermuda Depths
Don't Go to Sleep
Dark Night of the Scarecrow
The Dain Curse (though the third installment is a little slow-going)
The Savage Bees
Mary Jane Harper Cried Last Night
Summer of Fear
When Michael Calls
A Howling in the Woods
Bump in the Night
Bad Ronald
Curse of the Black Widow
I'd love to see cleaned up blu-rays of all of these. I think Salem's Lot of the only one that got a blu-ray release. Many are not even on DVD and a few not even on VHS.
