A few years ago, I was reading an old newspaper from August 1981, and I remember it listing this movie as being on ABC that night. So this might be that

@c1c2c3able If you're thinking that it's a rip-off of "The Exorcist", this movie was theatrically released 2 years earlier.

Also, I liked how KOMO TV 4 in Seattle would often do their station identification with a water or sunset view of Puget Sound or Lake Washington in the background.

I believe this is the Closed Captioning that ABC used in 1981, and The "Star Tunnel" logo ABC used for their movies debuted too.

i SAW that movie, it creeped the hell out of me

Quite a good movie. I've got it on an old VHS tape somewhere. Think I'll dig it out and watch it tonight.

Yea!! KOMO TV in Seattle with THIS bumper. I'm home!!
-
I associated this ABC Friday Night Movie with scary stuff. They always had horror movies, it seemed :P Such cheery music, too.

I love seeing these old bumpers!
However, the dialogue that Shirley MacLaine speaks in the clip is atrocious....but that is the writer's fault. lol
This seems like a rather strong movie to show on TV at the time.
I'm actually quite surprised they didn't say, "although edited for television.......parental discretion is advised"!
