No Hope November - Day 4 - "Gargoyles"

No Hope November continues with a day four feature that takes us into a category that brought many outstanding movies. The category is 1970's era made for television movies, and the movie is "Gargoyles." Starring Cornel Wilde as an anthropologist that stumbles across a tribe of living Gargoyles in a cave, this flick is totally awesome. With a great cast including Jennifer Salt from Soap as the anthropologists daughter, Scott Glenn, Grayson Hall from Dark Shadows fame, and Ber...nie Casey as the freaky lead Gargoyle.You may remember this film being shown often on Saturday afternoons years ago on cable. It was on all the time. If it has been a while since you have seen it I would recommend checking it out once again. Not actually scary, but there is a definite creepy atmosphere running throughout Gargoyles. The monsters look super weird,with designs by Stan Winston, and I love the flying scenes where they make barely any effort at all to hide the wires that they use for the special effects. Classic 70's stuff. There were so many cool made for TV horror movies during that time. Some genuinely good, scary movies. Maybe more of them will get a mention before No Hope November reaches its conclusion. Enjoy Gargoyles.
