"Trilogy Of Terror," where Karen Black plays three different roles, must be so popular. It was shown last month, and now it is being shown again. But, sadly, in the second spot.
Still, that is time enough to see Karen Black's brilliant performance as Julie Elldridge, a spinster college English teacher, who turns out to be not what she seems. I mean, darlings, don't we just love the way Julie deals with her comely male students???????????????
Black gets the spinster thing down, and then lets loose when revealing her true self.
This was adapted from a short story by Richard Matheson I have always wanted to read, called "The Likeness Of Julie." The protagonists there are two high school students, so I wonder how far they can go in this story. The 1975 TV movie is pretty tame by today's standards, but it gets all the implications in.
And watch out for an unsuspecting young Gregory Harrison, as he steps into Julie's lair.
Heh.....heh....heh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately--
This will be the first feature, tomorrow night. It looks like more of the same, with Darren McGavin chasing prostitutes around in Las Vegas. Or L. A. Anyway, does it matter? We would really want to watch the entire "Trilogy Of Terror" again, just to see the Hintu fetish voodoo doll story. If you have never seen it, it is worth staying up for. As it is, some of us will get to revisit "Julie," and that is always a pleasure.
Happy Halloween, girls! And pay close attention to "Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Victoria,
Same here. Until I saw this, I would never have thought
Karen Black capable. Definitely an underrated actress.
