FOR HALLOWEEN: Made For TV Horror Movies of the 1960s-1970s

I thought since Halloween is approaching I would add some autographs that fit into that holiday but ones you might not immediately think of.  When I was growing up there were some great "Made For TV" motion pictures on ABC, CBS and NBC. ABC had "The Tuesday Movie of the Week" in the 1970s with some of the best made for TV movies ever produced. Steven Spielberg got his directing debut with Duel with Dennis Weaver and Something Evil with Darren McGavin and Sandy Dennis. These movies often had all star casts of television and movie stars. Bradford Dillman could probably be called the King of Made For TV Movies since he was in so many.  I have a Kolchak: The Night Stalker discussion on here so will not mention the two made for TV movies here.

One of these was the great werewolf movie Moon of the Wolf with David Janssen and Barbara Rush. Other great horror movies were Horror at 37,000 Feet with Chuck Connors, Buddy Ebsen and William Shatner; Killer Bees with Gloria Swanson; The Devil's Daughter with Shelly Winters, Jonathan Frid and Abe Vigoda; Whatever Happened to Rosemary's Baby with Ruth Gordon, Ray Milland, Patty Duke and Tina Louise; The House That Wouldn't Die with Barbara Stanwick and Richard Egan; Scream of the Wolf with Peter Graves and Clint Walker; Stranger Within with Barbara Eden; Satan's Triangle with Kim Novak and Doug McClure; Killdozer with Clint Walker and Robert Urich, Crowhaven Farm with Hope Lange and John Carradine and The Screaming Woman with Olivia De Haviland.  There are others but those come to mind quickly.

These are some of my autographs please feel free to add yours also.  Also if you have a favorite made for TV horror movie (thrillers and sci-fi are fine too) add those too.

Nice, Scott.

I believe the "Ghost Of Flight 401" also starred Kim Bassinger.

Very eerie movie.

His portrayal of "Pinky" was hilarious.

TONY BILL (!940-     ) actor, director and producer.  His movie The Sting won a Best Picture Oscar.  He acted in movies Ice Station Zebra, Castle Keep and Shampoo.  He did scores of television shows including Bonanza and Murder She Wrote.  He appeared in some great made for television movies including the star packed Haunts of the Very Rich in 1972. Others included The Initiation of Sarah and Are You Alone in the House.  This is a 1970s autograph:

Nice, Scott.

For some reason, my immediate reaction to his sig, is his appearance in the movie "Less Than Zero."

Hey thank you Christopher!  Actually I paid "Less Than Zero" for since it was in a bunch of autographs and I did not count this in my bid I was after someone else.  After looking into his known good autographs I am now questioning this one.  It is certainly not a forgery but it is from a large vintage mostly through the mail collection.  The autograph is dated on the back 1967 and she sent it into the SAG office apparently to be forwarded, or she got the address from them.  Bill had only been in show business for four years and relatively unknown he had done Dr. Kildare and The Virginian so would be surprised if he could afford a secretary.  What I suspect is it might have been a relative of his (wife or mother perhaps).  I wish I could find autographs closer to the 1967 mark there is an undated album page but that is not much help.  So right now this goes in my likely "secretarial" box for further research.
